This is a book of teaching strategies and behavior modification techniques for parents to use with teenagers. Major emphasis is placed on teaching the proper use of condoms, alternatives to sexual intercourse, and encouraging sex education programs in schools. The authors stress that education alone (or the alternative "just say no") is not effective in stopping young people. The techniques they advocate include discussions, role-playing, and proactive steps. They suggest a system of rewards for teens participating in these training sessions. Despite the timeliness of this topic and the concern of nearly all parents, this book will appeal to a limited audience. Conservative critics will dispute any sure-fire means of "AIDS-proofing your kids," and others may find the proactive steps impractical.
