This is a wonderful book written in a very approachable manner for parents about sex education.

We have 6.5 and 10.5 year-old girls and have always approached discussing their bodies and how babies are created in a very open manner. However, I find that as my girls get older, their questions become more complex and there is more of an opportunity to discuss the values that my husband and I feel go hand in hand with the subject matter. This book allows you, as a parent, to guide how you want to incorporate your values while still giving your children accurate information.

It's definitely for parents of children of all ages, as the author believes that there shouldn't be one "big talk" but rather many little tidbits educating a child throughout their life. The book points out teachable moments and provides a list of age-appropriate resources for children.

I've found that I've become more awkward in discussing sex as my children get older, and this book helped me to find a more comfortable approach again. The author provides different scenarios so that no topic seems to tough to discuss. I work counseling families and will definitely be recommending this.
