You turn the key and nothing happens or you leave work late one evening only to find your brand new car has a flat tire and there's not a soul in sight to help you change it. With all the advances in automotive technology, none offer protection from basic car trouble which means you'd better have a plan in case it ever happens to you. Seriously. Can you jumpstart the car if the battery dies or fix that flat without calling roadside assistance?

In 2011-2015 81% of female teens used some type of contraception when they first had intercourse, up from 74% in 2002. In 2015, fewer than six in ten high school students who were sexually active reported using condoms at their most recent sexual intercourse. Condom use among this group increased from 46 percent in 1991, to 63 percent in 2003, but has since declined, reaching 57 percent in 2015. Simultaneously, parents and other engaged adults struggle with effective communication methods regarding sex and teens. There are two talks – the mechanics and the navigation. We call “The Mechanics Talk – The First Talk. The Navigation of the teen social world and all its nuances we call The Second talk. Have you had the second talk with your kids. We know – some of us haven’t had the FIRST one! Among never-married teens in 2011-2015, 42% of females and 44% of males had sexual intercourse at least one time, similar to numbers from 2006-2010.

The inability to rake through the smoldering ashes of a war fought 150 years ago, allows for a one-sided narrative that sometimes misrepresents the causes for war, the people - enslaved and free - who lived through the war and and its aftermath. Although it is a necessary, and some might add, long overdue undertaking, it is also anxiety ridden, especially within the black community. How can parents of color approach this subject and explain to their children a war fought over, among other things, a system of that relegated their ancestors to permanent servitude? Today, the Mommy Chronicles is on site as the Alabama State University Department of History and Political Science explores those issues by examining the Civil War history at its first Confederate Memorial Day "Mini" Conference. 00:30:00The Mommy Chronicles 2014noconfederacy,memorial,enslaved people,slavery,southLiving in the south, with all its charms, traditions and iconography does not offer access into certain aspects of her history, especially when that history invhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/mommychronicles/2015/04/13/tapping-your-inner-chef-simple-meal-planning-and-prep-ideas-for-busy-familiesMoms and Familyhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/mommychronicles/2015/04/13/tapping-your-inner-chef-simple-meal-planning-and-prep-ideas-for-busy-families/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/mommychronicles/2015/04/13/tapping-your-inner-chef-simple-meal-planning-and-prep-ideas-for-busy-familiesMon, 13 Apr 2015 13:00:00 GMTTapping Your Inner Chef: Simple Meal Planning and Prep Ideas for Busy FamiliesWhat's for dinner?
