How It Started
16-year old Jason had problems with his girlfriend, so he turned to his mom for advice. He liked his mom’s suggestions so much that he asked her to write a book for him. As teenagers found out about the book, Deborah Hatchell had an avalanche of calls and visits from teenagers all over the country. Their real-life stories are right here in What Smart Teenagers Know...About Dating, Relationships and Sex.®
“From breaking the ice to breaking up, Deborah Hatchell covers all the basics of romantic relationships in a no-nonsense, easy-to-access way. Should be required reading for all romantically curious teenagers—which is 99% of all teenagers!” —Dr. Mike Riera, Author, Staying Connected To Your Teenager: How To Keep Them Talking To You And How To Hear What They’re Really Saying
“Every once in a while a door to your teen’s world is opened. This book is a key that will take you to the heart of what’s on a teenager’s mind.” —Jack Canfield, Co-Author Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul®
“I can’t believe an adult figured this out and put it in a book. This is the best teenage dating book I’ve ever seen.” —Janet Krupin, age 15, Kennewick, WA
“When I was given a copy of What Smart Teenagers Know... I didn’t think my 13-year old daughter would be interested because she’s so young. In fact, I kept it at my office. While visiting me at work one day, she saw it and said, “Oh, what’s this?” That was the last thing she said for the next three hours! I couldn’t get her to put it down. What amazed me the most were the great things we talked about afterwards. I had no idea this would strike such a chord with her.” —Dina Castillo, Professor and parent of a teen daughter
