    About this ebook

    Joanna Cole's Asking About Sex & Growing Up is the perfect book to provide answers to preteens' questions about sex. Writing especially for kids ages 8-12, the author uses a question-and-answer format to offer straightforward information on a wide variety of subjects related to sex and puberty.

    Information about sex is everywhere. But what kids learn from TV, movies, the internet, and friends is not always a healthy or accurate view of sexuality.

    Now revised and updated with current facts, Asking About Sex & Growing Up is a safe, honest, friendly resource to share with preteens. The book is appropriate for both boys and girls. With the approachable, nonjudgmental Q&A format, this is a book that a preteen can read on his or her own. It's also likely to open up healthy, positive conversations with parents and caregivers.

      Joanna Cole provides concise factual information on sex and relationships that will be informative to ten to twelve year old children. Especially interesting is the inclusion of masturbation and homosexuality--chapters that seem safe and conservative to me, but that will probably generate controversy among the religious right.
