But How'd I Get In There In The First Place? by Deborah Roffman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Young children ask questions about sex, sexuality, conception, and birth that can be embarrassing or uncomfortable for parents. With her characteristic good sense and cool head, author Deborah Roffman will put even the most awkward parents at ease, giving them the skills to talk confidently with young children about these important but delicate issues. In this wonderfully reassuring book, readers will learn that the key to talking with children about sex is knowing that their questions fall into three easily recognizable categories. At age three or four, kids are curious about geography (\"Where was I before I was here?\"), and at four or five, about delivery (\"Exactly how did I get out of there?\"). Finally, the six year old's classic stumper-\"But how'd I get in there in the first place?\"-is about cause and effect, not about imminent sexual activity! With the emotional and developmental underpinnings of a child's curiosity understood, parents will find their tongues; with Deborah Roffman's wise, warm and practical advice, they will be well prepared for the inevitable flow of questions in the years to come. | But How'd I Get In There In The First Place? by Deborah Roffman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
