Publishers Description
This breakthrough book covers the head-to-toe, outside-inside health needs of today's 10- to 21-year-olds. Written by experts in adolescent medicine and parent-child relationships, this comprehensive reference gives no-nonsense, straightforward guidance on how to talk with teens in a way that will help them take charge of their own health.Andrea Marks, M.D., and Betty Rothbart, M.S.W., take a unique approach -- they focus on the interplay of physical, mental, emotional, and social issues that make these years such a challenging time. They show how physical health concerns must be considered within the context of the three main goals of adolescence: • gaining independence• clarifying sexual identity • Finding a realistic, satisfying place in society Combining authoritative information with sound advice on communicating with teens, who really do want and need their parents' help (even though at times it may seem otherwise), Healthy Teens, Body and Soul will teach parents how to open the lines of communication that will result in healthier, happier teens (and parents!). |

 | Interesting Sep 8, 2010 |
I find it interesting that this book is being promoted by Christians. This book is against the tenements of the bible. For instance, this author clearly doesn't thinnk that homosexuality or abortions are sins.
There is a way to talk to our kids about homosexuality, abortions, and premarital sex without promoting them. Maybe the website owners want the kids and parents to be informed and we can be-without cosigning with this author. She has her thoughts and that's her right but we as Christians don't have to line her pockets nor ignore God's word in the name of being 'educated.' | | | Write your own review about Healthy Teens, Body and Soul: A Parent's Complete Guide
