This is a very thorough explanation, but uses easy to understand terms and helps "translate" what the puberty process is and what to expect. It was super helpful for my husband to understand the process of puberty for our female daughter.
We used this in combination with several other puberty/development books and if I had the funds to buy just one, this would be it.
This resource helped me feel better about my daughter's behavior. Thank you!
I feel so much more prepared with resources when teaching my kids about their bodies and body parts. The level of material and how is it presented is very accessible for different ages. This guide was exactly what I was looking for.
Great information and specially, great explanation, thanks for walking with us in every step
This helped me so much when talking to my 6 year old who had lots of questions about how "babies get into a belly". This guide gives many different ways to speak about sex depending on your familes views and values. It gives you a way to speak about as many or as few details as you are comfortable with or that you think your kid is ready for. I appreciate how well written and thought out this was. I'll be using it in the future for more open talks with my children.
As a practitioner working in this space, coming across this course for free and being able to share it with parents and staff, was just the cherry on top of visiting Cath's website. Thankyou for your accessible, compassionate and colourful approach!
My daughter is 6 years old. Masturbation is a delicate subject and it is not easy to talk about it with friends or family, even with the doctor, because masturbation in young children triggers alarms and they think there may be abuse. So I thank you for this course, so well explained. My mother tongue is not English, but this course explains things clearly, in a simple and practical way, with tips and resources. With this course I understood that masturbation in young children is not so rare, I learnt how to deal with it and I felt understood and relieved knowing that there are more parents worried about this. Again, thank you.
after a small incident with my 2 & 4 yr old, I purchased this course to learn how to approach teaching my kids about consent and to better understand what I should actually be concerned about. After this course, I purchased a few books that were recommended and will be having regular discussions with both my kids about body curiosity
This is such essential reading, even if you do not think this is an issue for your kids in the moment, because it normalizes behaviors that to the untrained may seem problematic!
I was putting off the porn chat as I was worried about how I'd answer any questions! But now I don't have to, as it's in this book!
I've got a kid who is starting to ask lots of questions. This has been a lifesaver, as it's allowed me to answer their questions. But more importantly, it's shown me how to talk about these things in a way they understand
My kids are super curious about where babies come from, so I grabbed this to help me explain. The illustrations at the back are great, as I they helped me to explain. and answer their questions. Thank you!!!!!!!
I recently purchased the getting started with sex ed course and was pleasantly surprised to find that instead of doing a big awkward talk like I feared, I’d already been doing a lot of the little conversations about bodies, feelings, consent etc with my kids. I liked how she broke the details into specific age/stages. Highly recommend!
Was very helpfull to oriented my daugther
A great break down and understanding of sexual behaviors, both worrisome and age appropriate, by age. A great resource for someone who works with children and teens
Heaps of advice I'd never even thought about, super helpful!
A brilliant resource for students with intellectual disability and autism, who are also non verbal, to learn about parts of their body to keep them healthy and safe.
Our daughter was very curious and was asking about pictures, this gave us a nice intro and gave her clear specific information appropriate to her age.
Very informative, totally recommend
G.P. thank you for leaving a review and congratulations! As you are the winner of the $50 Amazon Gift Card for leaving a review last month! I have just emailed you!
This information is so valuable to all parents and educators. I wish we kids were born with this in hand. So so good.
Love that this book is electronic and I have access to it anywhere. It helps with conversations that tend to make people uncomfortable. Highly recommend
