Teen pregnancy, drug abuse, underage drinking, sex, internet hookups-these are the issues that our children face and ones that we hear about on a daily basis. What has happened to the innocence of adolescence and what can we do, as parents and adults, to change things? Writer and social activist Patricia A. Coleman writes a candid and significant book geared toward teaching adults how to talk to their children and how to listen to what they have to say. In this day and age of fast-paced technology, our children are bombarded with adult images and situations. As parents, Coleman concedes that we accept that these conditions exist. Learn how to invite communication from your children so that they may process these sensitive subjects and understand them in order to make sound choices for their lives and their futures. What Mama Never Told Me! is a relevant narration that will guide you toward communicating honestly and effectively with your child. Now, more than ever, we must shift our perspective, put aside our embarrassment and judgment, and focus on giving our children the necessary tools so that they mature as healthy, responsible adults. Patricia A. Coleman is a writer and case manager for a non-profit agency. Ms. Coleman lived abroad for a number of years before settling near West Palm Beach, Florida. Her work has been published in The International Library of Poetry, Collected Whispers. She has four children and is currently writing her second nonfiction book.
