The Talk: 7 Lessons to Introduce Your Child to Biblical Sexuality Kindle Edition

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! - It was straight to the point. Based on Biblical writings. I think lesson 2 was the most difficult. My husband and I read the book before introducing the lessons to familiarize our selves with the questions.As a family we have family devotions daily, so I think that helped a lot. The children are used to open discussions with us after Bible reading. The book brought out a lot of questions. It also opened up the opportunity to speak about rape, inappropriate touch, sex under the covering of marriage and purity.To be honest we had the delayed the talk for our 13 year old and I think now it was wrong. We should have done this, as it is recommended by the book - start age 6 and go from there. See how much your child knows already.We monitor everything our children watch and read - and we were surprised just how much they perceive from commercials, magazines at the grocery store stands, friends and cousins.We did the Talk with our 6,8,11 and 13 year old children. The 6 year old had no difficulty understanding that this is part of God's plan for us.I think it was more difficult for our 8 year old, she was very upset and said "there is no way you should expect any grandchildren from me! no way!" - we allowed each of our children expressed their opinions, emotions and ask as many questions as they wanted. We took our time with each lesson and even divided them in to two sections.( By the end of the third lesson, where we explained the beauty, love, joy and God's blessing with scripture our 8 year old had changed her mind about not getting married and having children - she said maybe she would get married after all.)Our 11 year old and 13 year old just kept saying that it was disgusting and such, but as the lessons progress and they see the beauty of God's plan and creation they were thankful to God for his plan.Thank you for allowing God to lead you in writing this book!We had searched and researched the topic, and how to approach it - read books and articles - but not other book compares to this one. This is the one we chose to introduce our children to the 'Talk' and could not be more content with the results.God Bless!

I have maybe only done 1 other review on Amazon, but I had to leave a review on this book! Especially since I knew there would be moms like me that would love to hear about products with a Christian perspective that would help us as we raise our kids (especially regarding sensitive topics) , so here I go...Recently my 8 year old daughter started asking me questions that I knew would inevitability lead us to "the talk", you know..."the birds and the bee's talk!" While I still see her as a little girl (and deep down always wish she would stay that way), I knew I had to take the initiative and introduce these topics to her before some other school friend does, and I am left undoing bad information! So I began researching and asking friends what kind of books/resources they might have used to help!I knew that when I had the talk with my mom is was clear that she was embarrassed and that it was a taboo subject, which inevitably communicated to me to not ask her anything about it again. While my husband mentioned that his father began the talk by saying "this is just the beginning of an ongoing conversation..."!!! So, that is what I was looking for...something that was Christian based, something that helped not make it embarrassing or taboo, and something that communicated that this was "just the beginning of an ongoing conversation."To my huge delight, I came across "The Talk: 7 Lessons to Introduce Your Child to Biblical Sexuality" which checked ALL the boxes AND MORE!!! Not only did it approach the topic the way I had hoped but it was designed so that you and your child's focus is on how AMAZING God is and his design for us! The book is written as a devotional to be read through over 7 different days/nights with your child, and it is also written as a script for the parent so that they feel comfortable walking the child through the topics. It covers why & how God created males and females, how babies are made & develop inside the womb (with links to the most amazing videos), the importance of marriage & their bodies, as well as much more. There are also videos for just the adults! The videos are the authors talking directly to the parents as to how they can go about covering each topic. They also go more in depth and even help with ways you can address topics such as Homosexuality, Transgenderism, Pornography, Abortion, etc. They do a great job addressing these topics in a very quick and biblical way, not coming across political or judgmental, and always stressing God's commandment to love one another!I have already began this devotional with my daughter and it is amazing!!! When I was first going through it on my own, I would get so excited to share stuff with my husband. Of course you can imagine how funny he thought that was, but after he started going through it with me, he was excited to think about starting the devotional with our son!

Can't recommend this book enough. We are using this with our oldest daughter and will do so again when our little two are older. We are a homeschool family so our kids are more sheltered than some. I’ve found because it’s not a “school” lesson it’s created a space for our daughter to feel a lot more comfortable about asking me questions, etc. at times outside of our reading together. The intro to the book which is for the parents only is really good and gives great tips on how to approach this topic biblically but in a way that they don’t feel ashamed of their changing body and/or talking about it with their parents. We tried another popular Christian series on puberty, sex, etc. and weren't nearly as impressed as we are with this one. I recommend it to all my friends with kids hitting puberty and even those with younger kids so they are ready when the time comes.I've read some reviews that felt this was "too much" for their homeschooled kids who may not be exposed to this as much as public school kids. My response would be use your best judgment as we should in all areas of parenting. Ignore the suggested age for each book if your child isn't ready and take cues from them as to when you should read this together. That may even be different for each one of your children. This book gives accurate diagrams of anatomy and information about both male and female body changes. There are also links to videos you can watch that go more in depth on specific topics (ex. the journey sperm take to reach the egg) if you choose.

We really wanted a book biblically based to talk to our kids about sex. This covered all areas whilst taking us through different verses and allowing open ended questions with them. They were very receptive to it. Really happy with this boom. Would highly recommend.

I love the layout of the book..it helps with this very important discussion with children..The pictures are very clear and well annotated

Bought this book for my 11 and 7 year old. More appropriate for 11 year old as they begin Sex Education in School at that age. I found it so helpful and in line with my Christian beliefs.It gave me confidence to teach my children about Sex God's way.

Fulfils a valuable role. Enables the parent to overcome hesitation about broaching this subject, (which id due to its widespread misrepresentation). Plenty of thoughtful analysis in Intro; clear explanations within each sub-topic.

Easy to use with our 9 and 10 year old sons. We've only worked through the first few sections so far but will do more as the boys get older.
