Dear Mom of a Teenage Daughter — I.N.F.O. For Families

If you ask ten moms with teenage daughters about their biggest parenting challenge, probably nine of them would tell you the same thing. 

Talking about sex is challenging.

It's scary, difficult, and uncomfortable. It's also incredibly important. Your girls need to know about physical changes, relationships, growing up, sexual feelings, boundaries and everything in between. And because our kids are growing up in a hyper-sexualized culture that is changing at a rapid pace, we can't afford to drop the ball on this one. 

I.N.F.O. for Families was created because we know that parents struggle with having these critical conversations. Our goal is to provide resources that help families to "tee up" these talks. Parents who take advantage of these tools find that they are able to successfully start coaching their kids.

Three years ago, we wrote The Talks to give parents a "big picture" view of many of the important issues that they need to talk about. It has helped tens of thousands of families to get a plan.

Parents Want Even More Help

While The Talks met a need, parents told us that they needed something that would hold their hand through the process. In response, we released The Young Man's Guide to Awesomeness about four months ago. It's a book that teen boys can read (and parents can talk about with them).

Within weeks of it's release, I got hundreds of responses with two main themes. The first was, "Thank you! It's just what we needed." The other was, "What do you have for girls?" At the time, I didn't have a good answer for response number two. Now I do.
