Book Review
A short overview of this book
Help Your Kids With Growing Up by DK is a factual book for tweens and teens that is filled with all the different things that will interest them about puberty, love, sex and relationships.
It provides talking points for parents and discusses a lot of the newer issues that kids face today ie porn, sexting, consent, gender, etc. A great book to have on your shelf as it means that your kids (and you) can turn to it for information and not the internet.
There is another version of this book that is identical on the inside but with a different title – Help Your Kids With Adolescence.
Sexual intercourse is talked about in this book.

Hey there! I’m Cath Hak from Sex Ed Rescue, and I wanted to chat with you about this awesome book I came across. It was published in July-August 2017 by DK, an English company. The book is packed with valuable information about love, sex, and relationships, specifically aimed at growing up. What’s great is that it covers everything from kids to parents, so it’s a valuable resource for everyone.
I love that this book provides the basics without overwhelming you with too much extra information. It’s straightforward and to the point. For example, it dedicates a page or two to topics like alcohol, giving you just enough information to understand the basics. There’s a ton of fantastic content in here that I think everyone should have access to.
One feature I really appreciate is the page with tips and hints. It’s divided into sections like Hints for Teens, Tips for Parents, and Mythbusting. It’s super helpful to have all this background knowledge at your fingertips. Plus, it highlights important alerts, like the dangers of sharing explicit photos of underage individuals, which can have serious legal consequences. It’s crucial information that everyone should be aware of.
Now, let’s talk about the age group this book is suitable for. I’d say it’s perfect for ages 14 and up. While younger kids might find the earlier sections interesting, they might not be as interested in topics like orgasms, intimacy, and virginity just yet. But hey, they can still benefit from learning about things like healthy eating and why they sweat, right?
This book is definitely worth checking out, and the best part is that it covers all the latest issues like pornography and sexting. It’s up to date and relevant. Of course, we can’t predict what future challenges teenagers will face, like the impact of gaming and sex robots, but let’s save that discussion for another time.
By the way, I’m so impressed with this book that I’m planning to buy my own copy, even though my local library ordered it in. It’s a bit pricey, but totally worth it in my opinion.
I hope this review has been helpful. Cheers!
