Hey there! I’m Cath Hak, and welcome to Sex Ed Rescue, the YouTube channel where I review books and chat about sex education. I also have a website where I help parents have better conversations with their kids about sex. Today, I want to talk about a fantastic book called Dealing With Our New Baby by Jane Lacey.

Now, this book is perfect for school-aged kids, not the little ones. It’s all about babies and the changes they bring into our lives. It doesn’t go into the nitty-gritty of how babies are made, but it focuses on the important stuff – the changes that happen when a new baby arrives.

What sets this book apart is that it doesn’t just tell a simple story about a new baby. It dives into the fears and doubts that children may have when this big change happens. For example, one of the characters in the book is worried about having to share a room and how things might change. But guess what? The book shows that it’s totally okay to have these concerns and that talking to Mom about them can make a big difference.

It also covers what happens during pregnancy, like where the baby grows and how it grows. And it addresses common worries, like being jealous of the baby or finding it hard to live with them. The book even touches on more complex situations, like when parents split up and have a baby with a new partner. It helps kids understand that their love and place in the family will always be there, even with these changes.

I love books because they make conversations so much easier, and this one is no exception. If you’re looking for a book that talks about babies, pregnancy, and all the changes that come with them, without diving into the sex part, then this is the perfect choice. It’s a great tool to help you have those important conversations with your kids.

I hope this review has been helpful. Cheers!
