All the way agree. Parents should discuss a book after it&#x27;s been read (yup, it means reading what your kids are reading, and teenagers don&#x27;t always have great taste...) and go over anything controversial, leave the floor open for questions, encourage them to consider scenarios that are outside of their experiences, and so on.<p>Teenagers are perfectly capable of handling adult topics if they have the support of adults to help them grasp the entirety of it all. Keeping them insulated in a bubble, away from the real world, just means they&#x27;ll get to experience it all at once, alone, without support, when they finally venture out of the house as young adults.
