I was wonder if all you great momma's had some good book titles I might find at the library to help me explain their changing bodies and sex in an appropriate way.

I used a book called "Where did I come from?" by Peter Mayle. It's designed for children about age 8, so the pitures, which are cartoons, maybe a little bit juvienile for your 11 year old. However,the information is very straightforward and tells a person what they need to know. Good luck.

Check out Focus on the Family for book ideas. Ask your husband about the boys/young mans intentions. Be careful I would not leave them alone ever and better in groups. Have your daughter invite him to come over for dinner or lunch and do things with others.

Hi S.,

Someoned just recommended to me "It's So Amazing" and "It's Perfectly Normal" both on Amazon. I have not gotten them yet. I do not know if they are in the library.

Good luck.

I was just at Barnes & Noble about 1 hour ago, and I was looking at books like this!

There are, a few "boy" books on this subject as well a basic grooming and hygiene and whatnot, and how the body changes etc., and about shaving, hair growth etc.
It looked cool- BUT I forgot the book title! Sorry!
BUT, here is a link for Barnes & Noble, and these are the books I saw in the store:

I just did a search on "boy growing up books", and this is what turned up at the store.

All the best,
Susan
