Product Description: What's Love Got To Do With IT is a Mom's Choice Awards® Gold Recipient.
Unfortunately, for many parents, the most important conversations are the hardest. Ninety-three percent of adults are dissatisfied with the sex education they received as children, which is precisely why they are so bad at teaching their kids-they have no frame of reference. Renowned Harvard Medical School psychologist and frequent Dr. Phil guest John Chirban helps parents talk to their kids about sex.
Kids are going to learn about sex, and it is up to parents to decide if their kids are going to learn from them or from MTV. How parents address sex, their openness, the context, and their attitudes will impact how their children view their own sexuality and self worth.
Dr. Chirban helps parents know when, how, and how much. He uses humor, compassion, and real-life examples to prepare parents for a healthy and ongoing conversation that will equip their kids to own their own sexuality and an understanding of the larger issues of relationships, love, commitment, and intimacy.
Excellent Dr. Phil recommended this book on his show, and I agree. I'm just over halfway and I can see the benefits blooming. I even has actual speeches, if you can commit to memory, will help alot.

Great advice for moms and dads If you would like a great guide for talking to your children about sex, this is the book for you. Every developmental stage is outlined and specific things to discuss, avoid and activities for each are provided. It makes talking about sex with your children as natural as it should be. I read this from cover to cover and I am sure you will learn a not only how to talk about sex with your child, but how to grow closer together. Practical and easy to understand, I highly recommend this book for moms and dads.
Helpful, down-to-earth advice on talking about sex Dr. Chirban's What's Love Got to Do With It? is a great guide to talking with your kids about sex. I know that for many parents this is a difficult issue, and in this book Dr. Chirban provides warm encouragement and practical ways to open up a continuing dialogue with your kids. While it's important to start sex ed early, it's never too late.
I particularly like that Dr. Chirban stresses the importance of seeing sex as an integral part of what it means to be a complete person. The importance of a family's values is stressed and the reader is urged to see the vital connections among sex, intimacy, and love. This point will appeal to many other readers too, I think, because parents are looking for a way to talk about sex that is open and candid but that also respects values and beliefs. I heartily recommend this book.
