Alberto Pellai, a psychotherapist and father of four children, addresses the following important topics: - the propaganda of sex and sexuality in the media and the internet; - the availability of information on the internet: pornography and explicit photos; - early sexual maturation of teenagers and their new desires: how to talk to them about this in a timely manner; - how to protect a child from sexual seduction in social networks; - the trend of availability and sexuality among teenage girls: how not to succumb to it and the possible consequences; - boys' addiction to video games; - effective measures to limit children's freedom on the internet. «The book highlights that often the information received from screens of televisions, smartphones, and computers does not correspond to the age characteristics of a child, and thus, it can cause harm. The author explains why it is necessary to engage in sex education for children, provides recommendations on what rules are needed for interacting with the internet, and how to teach this to a child. In addition to theory, the book includes real-life stories of teenagers, a collection of movies on the topics, and lists technical ways to limit unnecessary content.» — ANNA LEVINSKAYA, educator, sex education specialist *In describing various situations, Alberto Pellai shares stories of teenagers that have occurred in real life.
