  There are things we absolutely need to talk to our teens about, but what we say, how we say it, and when we say it make all the difference between them embracing truth and becoming the person God designed them to be—or driving them away. Will they listen? How will they take it? These are legitimate worries that can keep us from saying anything—or have us second-guessing everything we did say. 
   
   
   
  What to Say and How to Say It to Your Teen is your field manual to clear, compassionate communication with the son or daughter who no longer thinks you have all the answers—even though they have more questions than ever, like Why can't I have my phone in my room at night?; Why do I have to go to church?; How can God allow bad things to happen?; What can I do about the anxiety or depression I'm feeling?; Why can't I just date for fun?; Why do I have to get a job?; and Why does it matter who I hang out with? 
   
   
   
  From shifting views on gender to questioning faith to struggling with honesty or respect or porn, the teen years are tough. They're also some of the most important years for you to offer guidance. This book will help you handle thirty of the trickiest conversations you need to have with your teen.

  "Progress is not just electronics and robots; it’s also adaptation and correction of social structures in light of these technological advances," Shvalb asserts, warning that "the old democracy won't survive if we don’t adjust it to the new era." 
  After reviewing the social phenomena leading societies to dangerous places, he points out, "History teaches us that civilizations tend to fade, and when they do, it can happen very suddenly." He then explores the influence of social networks on public discourse, noting that "fake news spreads six times faster than truthful news." As a scientist in the field of hard sciences, he examines the dangers of advancing technology, particularly the role of AI in societal unrest. Shvalb questions, "Can technological mega-giants know us intimately enough to control our choices?" 
  Life as we knew it no longer exists. The benefits technology has given us come with a heavy price. In a world where social interactions are shaped by powerful platforms guiding the way we think, behave, buy, and choose, there is a real risk to our societies that we must consider. The last part of the book is dedicated to practical solutions and suggestions. Yet, despite its serious themes, "Our Western Spring: Where is Political Divide Leading Us?" is engaging and fun to read. If you're curious about who suffered from scrotal ascites, what is considered the worst film of all time, or why China's government hates Winnie-the-Pooh, this book is for you. This blend of intriguing trivia and insightful analysis makes the book both thought-provoking and enjoyable, offering readers a captivating journey through the complexities of modern society.
