I thought this book was written so well. It takes a basic "these are the facts" approach. It would be very easy to have your child read on their own. It is written specifically for the 10-15 age group. I felt that the author' approach was very positive and respectful. You can tell he has dealt with this subject and talked to kids this age about this subject. He puts it in an easy way for them to understand, but not like he is talking down to them. We are going to use it and read specifically from it for our "big talk". It takes a gospel centered approach and I loved it. It is a must have, for this subject matter.

We thought we hadn't covered this information with our son and after reading the book realized we've covered it in more detail than we thought. Glad to have such a basic resource though to give to our boys to read on their own after we've discussed it with them. Thanks

This is an great book for the LDS youth. It adheres to LDS standards yet is comprehensive and easy reading. I read it with my 9yr old daughter and it was a good experience. I will read it with my son when he's old enough. It will remain in my library so they can pull it out whenever they have a question but might not want to ask me.

I cannot say enough about this book and how helpful it has been with our two teens. We are just preparing to read it with our twelve year old, but it could be used as early as 10 or 11. (Certainly if they are in a public school setting!) It breaks everything down into easily understood concepts and covers things you might never think about discussing with your child - but should.

If you are squeamish about discussing "birds and bees" with your child - this will absolutely walk you through it and if you are a confident educator and do not mind having the discussion (I fall into this catagory) it helps you present the information in an easily understood format.

I like how it gives you the perspective of how we are created for a glorious purpose and our body is an absolute gift.
