Great book. Great advice for parenting in general, and specifically on sexual purity. Teaches you to be open without being intimidated by the subject. I want to read their other books now!
Rating: 5 / 5
This is a phenomenal Christian based book for families who want to approach the ‘big’ talk with their kids. It is NOT your basis anatomical guide on the birds and the bees. Rather it is an indispensable guide on how to connect with your kids early and keep the lines of communication open so that as sexual issues or questions arise, they are comfortable enough to approach you, and you are comfortable enough with them to discuss it. Many great ideas and suggestions in talking to your kids about sex and life in general. LOVE IT!

A wonderful guide to helping your child grow into adulthood. A “no-fear” approach to the truth about body changes, peer-pressure and relationships. It is the responsibility of the parents to make sure their own children knows the facts. It’s not up to the schools, folks. God made our bodies, this book acknowledges his wonderful creation.

A long time fan of Leman’s work and appearances, I was thrilled to see that he had a book on a subject I have been dreading discussing with our 9 year old son. Leman’s humor and good-sense parenting advice reminded me that teaching your kids about sex begins long before “the talk” becomes necessary – it is the way you raise your children, with limitations, without instant gratification, and in the way you respect your own spouse that speaks volumes to our children about sex. Hooray for Leman! I am so glad that there is someone who can guide me in a Christian way on a vast number of subjects while still making it a fun read.

I have found Dr. Leman’s books on childrearing very useful. Here he teams up with Kathy Bell to help parents build strong relationships with their “tweenagers” so they can effectivly pass on their own values. I especially like the straight talk to parents who fear being hypocrites because they misused their sexuality, and now want to tell their kids “don’t do that!”
This book is about so much more than the typical “plumbing lesson.” As a sex educator and a parent of seven, myself, I like the hands-on tools Kathy uses to illustrate the “plumbing” aspects, but especially the emotional aspects of sexuality. And she expand that focus to help parents discuss “neck up” issues. (Don’t know what those are? Read the book.)
Don’t rely on the school or the youth group to form your child’s views on sex, marriage, and family life. Be a proactive parent. Read this book if you need a push in that direction. It even has an index of topics, so you can quickly find the pages that discuss what you need to talk about NOW.
I would have liked to have seen a little more on dealing with masturbation. The few pages that cover it don’t emphasize enough it’s connection to pornography and addidictive behaviors that can destroy relationships. Other than that, excellent, helpful book.
