While it’s never been easy to deal with teenagers and preteens, today’s parents are faced with a whole range of new fears, such as cyberbullying and predators on social networking websites. In Dr. Ruth’s Guide to Teens and Sex Today, the world-renowned sex therapist and educator offers sage advice on how to help both parents and teens survive adolescence in our digital age. With an emphasis on new technology, Dr. Ruth offers practical advice on key parenting topics, including:

• Protecting children from predators

• Sexually active teens
• And much more
