Sexual Health Resources
I want to empower you to be the go-to source for sexual health for your children! You can do this. Below are several resources aimed at helping you ponder and plan your hundreds of conversations with your children about sexual health.
It is important to note that not all of the books listed below will be congruent with your value system. Even still, we highly recommend you read many of these books to enter into thoughtful dialogue with your children about God’s design for sex, popular cultural perspectives, and sexual health. While there may be a few pages of the books you disagree with, the books provide important information to help you and your children become fluent in this sexual age.
Establishing early, consistent, and curiosity-filled conversations with your children about all areas of life, including sex, is one of the greatest gifts you will ever give them.
