What I liked: May I Kiss You? is a great book that concisely explains what consent is and why it’s necessary. In addition to the short chapters that help with every aspect of this – including how to support a friend – May I Kiss You? has highlighted sections detailing specifics and has thought-provoking questions and info on where to go if you need/want more info. Even though it’s written more like a conversation there is so much great info in May I Kiss You? it really belongs on the shelf of every person. What I didn’t like: It truly annoys me that we NEED books like this. Why is this an issue? Why do we need to explain in detail what consent is and why it’s necessary?

Hott Review: As the mother of two boys and the aunt of half a dozen more there isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not enjoying bugs, tadpoles, discussing why God made BO, or standing in the sleet or rain cheering them through their game. I had the advantage of having brothers so I knew what I was in for when God gave me these gifts, but I know that many don’t and I cringe when I see boys who’ve never played in the mud, who haven’t chased aunts with a magnifying glass, or who have just been allowed to be the person God made them.
Take the advice of a mom who’s been there & grab “The Savvy Mom’s Guide to Sons: 101 Real-World Tips to Improve Your Relationship and Save Your Sanity” to know what you’re in for and how to enjoy it or to just reminisce about all of those wonderful moments!

But are we taking time to look below the surface – time to talk to them long enough to determine the cause? I know, I know…. She knows she can come to you, right? That’s not the questions though, is it? It’s whether she will come to you. This book helps us not only to learn what’s really going on but also how to step back take a hard look at ourselves and our relationships with these girls that we love.
Hott Review: This was a tremendously difficult book to read. It was very hard to step back and take a completely honest look at myself and the relationship I have with my daughter. It was also astonishingly difficult to see what’s really going on in their lives. I can’t say enough – and this point is also made in the book – that the thing that teens need most is just someone to listen to them. Find a teen and give them that non-judgmental ear that they so desperately need!!

Teacher? Coach? Then I’d suggest you read this book. As everyone knows, girls are absolutely different than anything you’ve ever dealt with — even if you were one yourself. Because of the culture that we have today there is a very slim margin for error in handling situations or even conversations with girls and young ladies.
Take some time to learn the facts and some great insight into the lives and hearts of our next generation.
Hott Review:
A while back I reviewed Five Conversations You Must Have with Your Son. It was a great book but not nearly as scary as this one. Maybe it’s because the conversations we’re to have with are sons aren’t as heartbreaking, I don’t know, but this book really shook me.
I don’t think I made it through a page of this book without highlighting something and sharing it on facebook. I don’t know why things are so much worse than they were when I was a teen/preteen but I know that they are. Even in private schools with ‘good Christian kids’ not everyone has the same morals, standards, or even feelings about what constitutes right and wrong.
I’ll be purchasing a physical copy of this book to loan out to my friends and using my digital copy as a daily resource and reminder. I also think that reading through some of these stats at prayer time would be great guidance....more
