Parent-Teen Communication and Sex Education

About the Book

The Indian society is conflicted about sexuality in general and about expectations for teenager behavior in particular. The book attempts to evaluate the communication between parents and teenagers on sex-related issues. Also, it is observed that the sex education imparted in schools is not serving the purpose. Here again, the gap can be filled by parents acting as mediator between school authorities and teenagers.
