I bought this book as a gift for my 9 year old grandson. His mom recommended it to me, and I bought it. I only glanced through it before mailing it to him in England. I cannot comment further on the editorial content. The outside appearance of the book was pleasing. The small size will make it easy to hold in a small hand. My grandson told me just the other day that he had started reading it, and had some questions. I referred him to his parents.

Highly recommended for every parent and child. Personally I supplement with “Learning about sex – a series for the Christian family” also available for various age groups. It’s better to have a couple of different versions on hand, one of them will speak to your teenager. I like the conservative approach, but the basics still remain the same (biology based). A parent’s and teenager’s help!

Even though this book stated it was for a younger age group, I got it for my 14 yr. old. We had our first talk about sex when he was 9. When he started asking questions, I simply answered them the best I could. I have always wanted my kids to feel free to ask me anything. In reading this series of books I hope I have more of the answers they need and deserve to hear. My son enjoyed this book and stated that it has given him ideas of how to handle peer pressure. I have went ahead & ordered the remaining books. I have children in all the age catagories, so I hope to offer them a better understanding of God’s gift with the use of these books. Just wish I had learned of them years ago!

My husband and I read the book all the way through first, and we’ve decided to get the first two in the series before we share with our 8 year old. She’s very intuitive, and has already been exposed to some inapproriate talk from school friends, but this book is a bit too much to start with. I did just start reading the American Girl, Care and Keeping of You, with her and she is excited about learning how her body is changing. We definitely want her to learn about sex from us, and with a God perspective, but we will definitely get the earlier books first.

This is book 3 of the God’s Design for Sex series. I purchased the series when my daughters were 8 years old. My girls have been quite sheltered from TV and videos their entire life and attend a Christian school. We started at age 8 with Book 1 soon followed by book 2 and then left things there for quite a while. At 11 we read through all of Book 3. At 13, (now) they have read parts of book 4 and reviewed the table of contents. They are driving the discussions much more now and we’re going on their timeline. That said, my 8 year old niece has hundreds of channels coming into her home, chats online through KOL (kids online), and has been exposed to MUCH more than my daughters. She was askingin depth questions and finished book 3 this summer with her mom. The age appropriateness all depends on the child and what they are ready for or need.
