highly recommended

A good enough parenting book

Why it is a "good enough" book, not excellent? This book is good enough to provide great ideas/concepts to both me and my child to start the subject. It's not as formal and serious as majority books in the market regarding this topic, but it's good enough for me to initialize the conversation with my child. My child would learn more and easier, if he learn in a fun way.

Generally I think it is a good parenting-aid book, at least for me.

perfect for what I wanted!

I don't think I can praise this book highly enough for what I wantedat the time!! We moved to New Zealand when my daughter was almost 8. When she had her 8th birthdy she received a very 'sexy/adult' card from her friend that she was embarrassed enough to hide and when I saw it I thought 'OK we're growing up a little faster than I'd anticipated'. I'd remembered seeing what I thought looked like a good pre-teen sex education book in my local library before I left the UK but wasn't able to find it online. This book was on amazon & I would recommend it to anyone from the age of 8 definitely but also her 5 yr old brother has benefitted from it as well. I just threw it into the bookshelf so all could read and I think that's what works well. We had an initial discussion about what the book was about relating it to family members who were pregnant/had adopted children and it's been amazing how many 'matter of fact' discussions have ensued instead of awkward ones. My 8 yr old is now an 11yr old and has had puberty education at school this year, and she feels so comfortable with it and discussing questions about it with me & her dad that it makes it so much easier to maybe bring up harder subjects.? certainly feels easier than with my parents! My then 4 yr old boy who is now 8 yrs used it the other day to dicuss his balls in a very non-crass way!! I feel this is a really good book to help us all in the puberty talks - the sooner bought, read & shared the better!!!

Great book on human development for 5-10 year olds

This is a great book for 5-10 year olds to learn about human development and where babies come from. The book appropriately doesn't go into a lot of detail about sex but covers the basics on how a baby is made. The book is well illustrated and kid-friendly. My kids were especially fascinated by the illustrations of the physical changes in males and females from infancy to old age. If you are looking for a book with more details on sexual development for a child nearing or beginning puberty, then check out the book "It's Perfectly Normal" by the same author. I want to thank the author and publisher for this great resource for parents - I wish I had had this book when I was a child!

great series

Bought the 3 books (geared for different ages) as a resource for parents at my school and they have been a big sucess. Parents appreciate the help with the birds and the bees.

better start now

I never imagined I would have to start looking for this type of book for my 7 year daughter. The fact is she is getting information from kids at school so we felt it was time for us to step in and be the ones to give her CORRECT information. I like this book even though I will censor some of the information until a later date. I would NOT recommend you give this book to your child and walk away and I am surprised parents mentioned wanting a book for that purpose. I want my child to be comfortable so she will ask me questions and talk with me not hide in her room with a book or ask her friends. I am shocked at the things other kids her age are watching and video games they are playing so I think it is better we, as her parents, step in and start telling her our views on this information. I spend a lot of time at the school and those reviewers that think they need to wait should understand not all parents are censoring their kids TV and such so they need to decide where they want this informtion to come from them or peers.
