Growing Up God’s Way for
Boys and Girls are wonderful resources written by two pediatricians, Dr. Chris
Richards and Dr. Liz Jones. They wrote the books in order to guide parents in
having the challenging “talk” with their children. The books are meant for their
parents and their child to read together. The book has helpful illustrations to
assist in teaching children about what is happening to their bodies during puberty
and the graphics are friendly to early teenagers. The boy’s book is geared
towards preteens aged ten to fourteen years old. The girl’s book is geared
towards ages nine to thirteen. The book also covered critical topics such as marriage
and preparing for the future. Both of these books are almost the same in
content with a few sections being different depended upon the gender.
Let me first begin by saying,
I’m not in the target audience and I’m not married and I don’t have kids yet. I
read this book because I want to learn everything I can about children and raising
them to be the man or woman God has created them to be and I know my kids will
eventually grow up to be mature adults following Christ.
I would recommend these magnificent
kid friendly books to every single parents who have early teenagers. I believe
the authors did a prodigious job in helping kids not to fear growing up and I
liked how the book reinforced to the children that they aren’t alone in the
changes that their bodies are going through and that they can talk to their
parents if they have any questions. I especially liked how they included
scripture in describing marriage was between a man and a woman and how their
marriage is strong enough to handle a new life entering this world and this is
something that should be celebrated. I also loved how they shared verses on love
in the Bible and the importance of being united as husband and wife. I believe
that the book did its purpose in guiding parents in reading and discussing what
is happening to their bodies, how pregnancy occurs, and the prominence of sanctity
of marriage. I also plan on rereading these books with my future wife (whoever
she is) and reading the books with our kids. If you’re a parent of an early
teenager, you especially need to take a look at these remarkable books for your
children.
