Dear Resource Center friends:
I received the following question this week: “I have parents asking for recommendations for books to use to talk with their children (second and third graders) about puberty and sexuality. I know of a pretty good secular resource but they are wanting a faith based one. Any ideas??”
I have the out of print PCUSA sexuality curriculum and a book published in 1999 by Abingdon entitled “Before They Ask.” Anyone know of anything newer?
Thank you.
Peace,

When I went looking for human sexuality curriculum awhile back, I got a lot of good reviews of a curriculum that the UCC did called “Our Whole Lives”. They have a component for K-1st grade that comes with a parent guide and there is another component called “Sexuality and our Faith”. This isn’t a book resource per se, but could be helpful for parents as they consider how to talk to their younger children about this. (I believe I got this material writing the UCC directly…it’s less clear to me whether individuals could get it without attending the training.)
