7 books that will help parents in the difficult conversation
1. "I was born", Mrs. Janusz, Mervi Lindman
Age: 4-6 years.
Kateryna Janusz is a Swedish writer and journalist, who for more than twenty years specializiruetsya on the issues of sexual education and family relations. She is raising five children, whose questions at the time often put her in a deadlock. It is for them primarily meant the book "How I was born".
Twenty three million two hundred seventy thousand seventy one
According to the text, the sons and daughter of the writer was concerned about not only physiological but philosophical character: not without reason the story of conception and pregnancy is preceded by a lengthy discourse on who the person could be before he came into this world, a brave knight or a skydiver.
Kateryna Janusz raises and important issue of parental responsibility: although the father was not carrying the baby, he has no fewer new commitments than the mother. The writer does not avoid the topic of foster children and artificial insemination. Illustrations of Finnish artist Mervi Lindman sometimes seem ludicrous and naive, but certainly will not confuse anyone with unnecessary frankness.
2. "Where are the children?", Doris Rubel
Age: 4-7 years.
German novelist Doris Rubel managed to strike a balance between delicacy and frankness. The book "Where do babies come from?"designed primarily for parents who wait for addition in your family and want to explain to the older child how it happened that soon he will have a brother or sister.
The book is a play on the situation, provoking the emergence of "awkward" questions: boy accidentally finds his parents for having sex or looking at a photo album and cannot believe that once sat in mom's belly.
The solid part of the material on pregnancy and the first months of a baby's life: what does an ultrasound machine, than the child is in the womb and what to do immediately after birth. In this little reader gets a few lessons of etiquette — for example, learns that the parent bedroom is not to enter without knocking, especially if the door to it closed. The illustration is equipped with dozens of moving parts: opening a special window, you can see what part of the abdominal cavity is a fetus on the first weeks of pregnancy, or to know what is the inner structure of men and women.
3. "Where did I come from?"Peter Mail
Age: 7-10 years.

Ninety two million eight hundred fifty two thousand eight hundred two
From this book several generations of Englishmen learned about what man and woman do under a patchwork talalom. She became one of the best manifestations of British conservatism: the author was in the framework of decency, but refrained from moralizing.
Illustrator Arthur Robins portrayed typical parents unvarnished: father bald head and a beer belly, mom — problems with excess weight. To avoid complaints Peter Mail failed: the fighters for equality have accused him that the book was too "masculine", and women's role in sexual relations were clearly understated.
Russian readers will probably be surprised by the fact that, if it was told as a child about the stork and cabbage, many British kids believe that if they were found in a hospital or got in a bar together with a beer. And some even say they came in the house thanks to the cat that drags in the street all in a row.

Pernilla Stalfelt talking to kids in their language and use the concepts that they perceive is much easier than biological terms. The majority of parents perceived "the Book of love" is critical: the difference of mentalities.
