Later this morning, The Takeaway will speak with sociologist Amy Schalet about her new book, “Not Under My Roof: Parents, Teens, and the Culture of Sex.” Schalet compares American and Dutch families, and their attitudes about teenage sex. Beth Brotz, a parent in California, was thrilled to learn about Schalet’s work. She talks about how she and her husband handled her teenage daughter’s confession that she was sexually active with her boyfriend, and how their openness made them closer as a family.
