In the news right now there is a huge debate about sex education and Utah high schools. What does the research say, and what would you advise about educating your teens about sex ed. Is it the schools place, or should the topic be strictly kept in the home. What does the research show about abstinent only programs?
What are some good activities to stay close to your teen when they aren't interested in their parents? How do you be a friend and a parent to an uninterested teen?
There is research that suggests that teens can become addicted to video games and the internet, causing them to neglect their health, school work, and social life. How can parents tell when their teens interest has become an addiction, and what can parents do to help teens keep keep a balanced approach?

"What do you suggest parents do to help their teens develop a sense of identity? I know this is an important part of their development and there are probably some things parents should NOT do as well. Can you tell me what the research says?"
