Reddit reviews Amazing You!: Getting Smart About Your Private Parts

Probably because they gave the name and author in the title! :)

Amazing You!: Getting Smart About Your Private Parts https://www.amazon.com/dp/0142410586/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_c3k3Db9G5SY4Q

I read mine Human Body Theater (Amazon link). It goes over the functions of all the organs in the body. In my experience, knowing that all the organs do something different and unique made it really easy to explain what the uterus, vagina, penis, testicles all do without any issue. It's for older kids, but my kid got basic info out of it at 3 years old, and found it entertaining.

I also got her the book How You Were Born (Amazon link) which has photos of a baby in utero, and shows the various stages of gestation. It glosses over how the baby got in there, but it's a good start.

Lastly, this book The Amazing You! Getting Smart About Your Private Parts (Amazon Link) has diagrams and goes over all the functions of what each set of genitalia does. It's great for your preschool age kids.

We have this book and my 4yo loves it. Loves that she has 'egg parts'.


However my husband told her that sometimes babies come out through a cut in the belly (because that's not in the book) and she freaked the hell out and cried for 20 minutes about how she never wants to have babies. And she loves babies to the point where she's said she wants to be a baby doctor.
She's in a funny super anti-pain phase right now. She had the same reaction to me telling her that getting her ears pierced would hurt, but has since gotten over being afraid of that.

Seems like this one has great reviews http://www.amazon.com/Amazing-You-Getting-Smart-Private/product-reviews/0142410586/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

It might be time to get Amazing You to talk about body parts and which ones are private.

I could not convince my son (now six, but this went down when he was four) that girls had something called a vagina and did not pee out of their very long bums! Since he has a little sister, he has asked how babies get out (and was totally grossed out) but not how they actually get in, although he does know that a man and a woman make a baby together.

Anyway, as much as I want to be that parent who has no problem discussing this stuff with my kids, neither me nor my husband are particularly comfortable with it, and so books have become my friend. I like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Amazing-You-Getting-Smart-Private/dp/0142410586, because it explains why male and female bodies are different, but does not get into the whole intercourse thing. I am pregnant with number three and expecting some more questions, and so I plan on getting a few books that explain intercourse.

Also, I have found this book really helpful in working my way through sexual development and simply being more comfortable with what is happening and what is going to happen. I highly recommend it!

Sorry I can't make pretty links.

Someone else here recommended amazing you - getting smart about your private parts to me and my 4 year old liked it.

It gets into basic sex ed for preschoolers which may help explain why they are private. Anatomically correct names, sperm and eggs = baby, but not any actual "sex" part of the sex ed. But it explains the private part functions and how they will change as kids grow, etc... its written with 3 - 5 year old kids in mind.

Curious boys. There are some great books out there for kids his age.

There are good books for his age, and if you can't wait for those to arrive, you can tell him what breasts are for (in mammals in general too!).

This is the book we used, but there are probably newer ones on the market now --

Edit: forgot to say that I discussed sexual reproducation with my kid in the context of animal mating in general. That's where babies come from (and also mammal versus non-mammal differences).

Just got this book for my kids (9, 6 and 2) and really like it!
