(3) YA Sex and relationships guru Dr. Drew is joined by his millennial daughter to provide a humorous, intergenerational guide to sex, relationships, and consent. Father and daughter offer their own takes on their shared advocacy of trust, compassion, and boundaries (TCB), which they use as their guiding principle to approach sexuality, gender identity, healthy sexual relationships, and more. Anecdotes and examples are uniformly positive and inclusive of a range of identities, and the narrative offers one model for how parents and kids can discuss tough topics together. An extensive list of books and websites is appended.
