Boundaries: Parents and Teenagers: Sex, Privacy, and Responsibility
Jeffery Dawson · 2017
🎙 Narrated by Susan L. Crawford
58/100
👎 Skip It
A genuinely useful, level-headed guide for parents navigating sex, privacy, and responsibility with teens — it doesn't shy from the hard topic but keeps things instructional rather than graphic. Susan L. Crawford's narration sounds like a solid, straightforward fit for a how-to like this, though I found no outside reviews to confirm how well it lands.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: discusses teen sexuality topically/instructionally (non-graphic) — recommend editorial review for faith-based framing. We still scored it 58; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
