When I got this from the library, I thought it tell me how to communicate better with my children. It's more of a reference guide with specific topics and what you need to say regarding topics such as death of a pet, Step parents, sleep-away camp, divorce. I read the subjects that I felt I wanted to talk to my kids about such as prejudice, sex and reproduction, and strangers.

I felt that this book had some really helpful instructions on how to talk to your kids about sensitive topics. I was surprised how often I responded the wrong way, and also how many things I have not discussed with my kiddos that maybe I should have already. Definitively glad I read it.
