Where Do Babies Come From?: For Ages 6 to 8 and Parents (Learning About Sex Series, Bk. 2)

There is a storyline with a 7-year-old asking questions of her mother and father and it covers topics such as: physical differences between men and women with anatomical names, how married people show their love for each other, how fertilization occurs, how women and men help in raising children. It also briefly touches on adoption, breastfeeding, and other related topics.

An excellent choice for opening up the lines of communication on this sensitive subject with your children!

Using this book in our family provided the development of an excellent foundation to develop trust with our children. Children are aware of the special nature of parents reading stories to kids. Many parents and guardians find this a difficult subject to talk freely about. Using the story telling approach neutralises any apprehensions parents or children may have. Ruth has used questioning from the children to their parents on different things and this encourages children to ask questions. The environment of story reading and the ease at which questions arise and are answered by parents is brilliant. God's involvement in the process lets children know how special they are.

Congratulations Ruth

My daughter loved this book and she wasn't embarassed by it at all. I felt it was time to start explaining things to my 8 1/2 year old daughter. With all the talk of "sex" on television, I knew she was getting curious as to what "having sex" meant. This book dealt with the issuse in a very kid friendly narrative. It's not factual, but a great story with words, pronunciation, and careful explainations. There's no good way of getting around explaining the "sex act", but this book handles he subject in a delicate, but clear way.

The OTHER book that I bought, "Before I Was Born", by Carolyn Nystrom, in my opinion was WAAAAAY too descriptive for 5 to 8 year old. It, in so many words, decribes an orgasm! "Body parts fitting inside others, semen flowing inside of her and bodies feeling good all over." It sounds graphic and I paraphrased!!! That is just unnecessary for a parent who desires to teach the basics of sexuality to a young child. This is more for an older pre-teen.

I would definitely recommend "Where Do Babies Come From?"

This book is simple and to the point! My kids loved it, especially my 6 year old son. It was just enough for him to know at this time.

This is one book of many in a series to help parents discuss with their children from age 3 and up about sex on the level that they can understand. My granddaughter read the 1st issue with me countless times. I got this 2nd book for her and she read the entire book at 7 in one evening. There is such purity in sex when discussed with biblical principles. These books have helped me to answer many questions for my grandchild. I have 2 more grandchildren that are getting close to starting Book 1 in the series. Please take the time to get these books and READ or let them read and ask you questions. I want questions and answers coming to me, from my grandchildren. I do not want them to get their teaching from the streets! They are seeing too much as it is. Wake up and HEAR THEIR CRYS for God's Knowledge and Wisdom regarding Life!
