Synopsis

Who will love me? Is sex the same as love? Will sex make me happy? How can I be safe from AIDS? These are just some of the questions that preteens often ask - hard questions that parents do not always feel comfortable answering. Written for the preteen, "The Preteen's First Book About Love, Sex and AIDS" faces these and many of today's other tough issues head on. Whether the topic is sex, pregnancy, AIDS, masturbation, dating, homosexuality, or sexual abuse, Dr Michelle Harrison gives preteens the information that they need to make intelligent, responsible choices. In "The Preteen's First Book About Love, Sex and AIDS", Dr Harrison stresses that finding out what is best for each individual is the best way to grow up. This book is designed to help preteens believe in themselves and face the sometimes difficult choices presented to them in today's world of media influence, drugs and sexually transmitted diseases. Free of jargon or complicated medical terms, "The Preteen's First Book About Love, Sex and AIDS" speaks to preteens in their own language about what it means to be in love, to confront sexuality and to act responsibly. This is a book designed to set the preteen on the right path toward a loving and fulfilling adolescence and adulthood. Illustrated by Lynn Beckstrom, the book is designed for parents to share with their children. It is intended to bridge the gap between the best efforts of a parent and the peer-pressure of the schoolyard.
