Can We Talk About Consent?: A Book About Freedom, Choices, and Agreement

For readers 14 years and older, this book introduces the concept of consent and does an excellent job of explaining why it is so important to respect people's boundaries and ensure that they respect yours. Sex and relationships educator and author Justin Hancock answers a number of frequently asked questions, including how to choose things for yourself, how to say no, how to communicate openly and honestly in sexual relationships, and how to identify factors in different contexts that limit a person's ability to make a choice. By practicing consent from an early age, teenagers will learn to respect each other's space and decisions, and learn to empower each other rather than drag one another down. An excellent book to have in the classroom or in the home.
