Hey there! Welcome to Sex Ed Rescue, where I, Cath Hak, review books that help parents with sex education. Today, I want to talk about a Christian book called Where Do Babies Come From by Sally Ann Wright and Honour Heirs.
This book is all about those first conversations with your kids about where babies come from. Now, it’s important to note that it doesn’t dive into the nitty-gritty details of sexual intercourse or how babies are actually made. Instead, it focuses on the basics and is specifically designed for Christian parents. Throughout the book, you’ll find references to God and how He plays a role in creating life.
The book starts off by explaining that moms have eggs inside their bodies, while dads have tiny seeds called sperm. It’s pretty amazing how God made them to come together and create babies that grow inside the mom’s body. However, it’s worth mentioning that the book doesn’t cover topics like IVF or sexual intercourse. So, if you’re a single parent or using a surrogate, this book may not be fully inclusive for your situation. Just something to keep in mind.
As you continue reading, you’ll find information about pregnancy, when the baby will come out, and what it does while it’s inside. It even addresses the question of why babies may look different from their siblings or parents, highlighting the beauty of diversity and how we’re all special in our own unique ways.
Now, when it comes to how the baby comes out, the book takes a conservative approach. It mentions that some babies are born through a hole made by doctors in the mom’s tummy, while others come out through an opening between their legs. However, it doesn’t specifically use the word vagina.
Overall, this book can be a great tool to start conversations with your kids about where babies come from, especially if you’re a Christian parent. It provides a gentle introduction to the topic and encourages a sense of wonder and appreciation for the miracle of life.
I hope this review was helpful to you. If you have any more questions or need further guidance, feel free to reach out. Cheers!
