The best sex education books for 5 year olds

cath hakanson and sex education books for 5 year olds

If you have a 5 year old who is starting to ask a lot of questions, then you will want to have a look at this list of sex education books for 5 year olds.

Some 5 year olds can ask a lot of questions. Some of the questions will be easy to answer. Others? Not so easy! Especially when they are about where babies come from or how babies are made.

You will find a mixture of different books to satisfy your child’s natural curiosity,  in this list of sex education books for 5 year olds.  You’ll find books that will help you with naming the private parts of the body, staying safe online, where babies come from, pregnancy, diversity, families, body safety, pornography and sex education in general. Books that are all age-appropriate, a pleasure to read and perfect for starting conversations about the birds and bees or the facts of life.

If you’re looking for a book for a different age child, then have a look at my lists of age-specific sex education books for kids. If you find this list overwhelming, have a look at my favourite sex education for kids, as these are the books I am always recommending to parents.

You’ll find more information about sex education in my Sex Education 101 page. And if you’re a little unsure about what to talk about, then have a look at my age-specific guide to sex education.

Let’s get started!
