- Reading
- Read together or preview the sections that matter most to your family. Pause to distinguish factual health information from the book’s ethical perspective, and add context where useful.
- Themes
- Puberty and sexual health: The book describes physical changes in boys and girls and discusses sexual organs and venereal disease. These subjects are presented as part of an informational guide to physical development and sexual health.
- Faith and relationships: The guide discusses dating, sexual ethics and parent relationships from a Christian point of view. The faith perspective is explicit, but the particular values or advice it advances cannot be determined.
- Worth knowing
- It addresses sexual organs, sexual ethics, venereal disease and dating. Consider whether you would like to discuss these subjects alongside the book, particularly its faith-based framing.
