Great Answers to Difficult Questions about Sex: What Children Need to Know

Overview
Reach And Teach says:
Currently out of stock. On order. More soon.
Children will ask questions about sex, gender, sexual orientation, their bodies (especially certain parts), and will wonder where babies come from. This book is a perfect way for a parent, family member, or other caregiver (who has parental permission to discuss such things) to prepare to answer the questions that will come up. This is a very well thought out book, with great answers to the most common questions, and we especially appreciate the gentle and affirming way it handles sexual orientation, gender identity, different types of families, and healthy respect for one's body without the shame and fear sometimes inflicted by society. This is a great book.
About the Book:
What does sex mean?
Where do babies come from?
Why is my body changing?
Can't 'real boys' also like to wear pink?
Sex is never an easy subject for discussion and adults often struggle to find the right words when talking about it with children. This book explores children's thoughts and feelings on the subject of sex and provides parents and other caring adults with guidance on how to respond to difficult questions.
The author explores some of the most common questions children ask about sex and provides sensitive yet candid answers, phrased in a way that children will be able to understand and relate to. Each chapter is devoted to a particular issue, such as how babies are made, relationships, and the differences between boys and girls. The book recognizes the emotions and reactions of children and family members and includes separate conclusions for adults and children.
This guide offers useful advice for parents and caregivers and will also be of interest to counselers and other professionals working with children.
Review:
'Covering everything from where babies come from, to describing sex, to defining gay, this is a terrific title that is well worth the money. Like the other titles in the series (e.g., Goldman’s Great Answers to Difficult Questions about Death), this will be helpful to anyone who works with or cares about children.'
