Books:

Keeping Your Kids Sexually Pure
By LaVerne Tolbert, Ph.D.

From the Publisher: Research demonstrates that teaching abstinence works! In survey after survey, students say that abstinence is what they want to learn. Self-control, self-respect, delayed gratification, planning for the future, and building healthy friendships are values that are essential for every aspect of successful living -- not just in delay of sexual activity. "My daughter had one choice. Either she was going down the aisle a virgin, or she was going down the aisle in a coffin," says the author in pure hyperbole. Her point is this: Kids need clear sexual boundaries. The media, the classroom, and other voices send conflicting messages to our teenagers. Society teaches youth how to say no to drugs and alcohol, but not to sex. Parents, pastors, teachers, and youth workers must speak the same message: Sexual activity outside of marriage is unacceptable!


Restoring the Teenage Soul: Nurturing Sound Hearts and Minds in a Confused Culture
By Margaret J. Meeker, M.D.

Will help you understand how "normal" teens get into trouble, why some teens are depressed and suicidal and why many teens look for love in the wrong places. Dr. Meeker contends that the fundamental needs of teens are not being met, which results in their trying to find their own way in an unfriendly culture. Yet all is not lost, if adults are willing to be there. Uplifting, frank, encouraging and conversational, this book will inspire any adult to get involved.


Saving Childhood: How to Protect Your Children from the National Assault on Innocence
By Michael Medved and Diane Medved, Ph.D.

From the Publisher: Saving Childhood offers parents and grandparents practical strategies to cope with a society that seems perversely determined to frighten and corrupt its young. Cultural critic and popular radio host Michael Medved and his wife, psychologist Diane Medved, argue that in a mistaken effort to curb problems plaguing its youth, our culture has changed from protecting childhood as a precious time of growth to hammering even the smallest youngsters with a grim, harsh, and menacing view of the world. The Medveds systematically present unassailable scientific evidence, moving anecdotes, and personal experiences of raising their three young children to explain the attack from four primary directions—media, schools, peers, and even well-intentioned parents themselves.
