Here is a book that will help you teach your children about families, babies, and sexual intimacy. It is designed as a tool for parents to use in passing on to their children an attitude of joy and wonder at God's gift of life and sexuality. The information in this book is set against the backdrop of creation, so that from the very beginning a child's understanding of sex will be linked with faith, with belief in God.Most secular sex education relies on biology textbooks to give children the "facts," then leaves them on their own to arrive at feelings and attitudes. But these lie at the very heart of what Christian sex education should be, and they are carefully presented here in a way that gives Christian parents the wonderful opportunity to share their own thoughts with their children on this important subject.The Wonderful Way That Babies Are Made is designed to "grow" with your child. The illustrations and the large-print are for younger children (ages 3-8), to be read aloud by the parent. Each page includes paragraphs in smaller type that further amplify the information for older children (ages 9-14). These can also be read to the child by the parent or, if appropriate, by the child himself.The book also includes a short section on the subject of adoption, beginning with Jesus' adoption by Joseph. Whether one's own family has direct involvement with adoption or not, the information will be of help to youngsters in building sound, accurate understanding of this family issue.
