“The Talk.” It’s one of the most daunting prospects parents face. Communicating the richness of Catholic teaching on sexuality in a faithful and effective way can be an overwhelming responsibility. Does it have to be?

In this thoroughly revised version of Beyond the Birds and the Bees Greg and Lisa Popcak empower you with the tools needed to move well beyond “the Talk” by offering a comprehensive guide to raising sexually whole and holy children. Using the riches of St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, the Popcaks help you safely navigate your children from infancy through the teenage years and beyond.

This book answers the questions parents may have, including:

● What lessons must my children learn at each stage to develop a healthy Christian sexuality?

● How can I have age-appropriate conversations about sensitive issues with my children?

● How can I teach my children what it takes to be a true Catholic man or woman?

● How can I help my children have healthy, Christian dating relationships?

Gives Us Confidence For Tough Questions

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2019

We are Catholic parents of 6 young kids and as our oldest became more aware, we realized we did not have the proper words to speak to them when "tough" questions come up. After coming across and reading this book, we have much more "ammo" at our availabity to answer those!

The Popkaks wrote a wonderful book here which is easy to consume and re-read as needed. They provide the age-appropriate answers we need for every stage we have encountered with our children.

So thankful for having found this book! Recommend it for all parents!

A treasure of a book for raising solid Christian children.

A wounderful and insighteful book for marriage, raising children from young to adulthood. A clear explanation of the "Theology of the body" all around. I wish I'd had this book when I raised my children. They both received this book from me for Father's day, along with " The be-Dad-attudes", also from Greg and Lisa, praying they will use the good advice of both.
I wish somehow it would be mendatory for all young couples before children.

Bad print?

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2021

Did I get a pre-proofread print of this book because I see the rave reviews without anyone commenting on printing issues. I’m only 29 pages in and have already found some big issues. First, on page 4, the sentence is cut off…a blank space follows below and it’s not continued on the next page. (I highlighted it in blue), second on pages 28-29, the sentence is repeated but kind of like paraphrased the second time it’s said (I highlighted them in blue as well) and its in its own paragraph. Did I get bad copy?

Absolutely Amazing!

This book is just wonderful! I am a Catholic mom of 3 small children and I'm just starting to get "those" kinds of questions from my oldest child. I had no idea how to explain all this stuff, and it was very important that my explanations also prepare my children to grow into very moral, healthy, and happy Catholic adults. I bought this book looking for help with that, and boy did I find it! I am SO glad I bought this book and I am very grateful to the author!
Popcak gives an explanation of the meaning of sexuality and marriage that will blow you away! I was literally in tears reading a couple of passages in the beginning of the book on what "healthy Catholic sexuality" really is - I knew this stuff, but he said it in a way that was so beautiful and at the same time so simple to understand. He is really gifted.
I no longer feel afraid of those "well, how does the baby get IN the mommy's tummy if the mommy doesn't have a husband?" kind of questions - I feel this book has given me all the info I need to answer these questions in a way that is sensitive, helpful to my child, and pleasing to God. I am so grateful to Gregory Popcak!
If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would. :)

Great book that I am glad I read while the kids are young. There are many principles about sexuality to teach the kids, and I want to teach them before their peers or the public school does. This book shows a holistic approach based on the Theology of the Body, which helps our children understand God made them for a purpose and their sexuality is not be feared but to be celebrated and respected.

I was so scared to talk to my son about the birds and the bees. This book changed my fear into confidence. As a Catholic parents it’s our duty to explain things and not let our society do it for us.
