Singer Mariah Carey laid out $660,000 for a piano, and designer Tommy Hilfiger ponied...
Your adolescent may tell you he knows it all, so next time you're driving him to band practice, ask what kids do at parties or what he thinks of sexual images he sees on TV or in movies. Talk to your daughter about friendship, love, sex and the spaces between. "Don't turn it into an 'organ recital.' It's more about relationships than plumbing," Haffner says. If you feel you've got a late start, use that as an opener...
