God Made Babies: Helping Parents Answer the Baby Question (God Made Me)

Review\Dear Parent or Caregiver,\"Where do babies come from?" You can count on, at some point, being asked this question by your child. Preparing ahead of time can help make conversations more casual, more natural, and consequently, more effective.\Children ask: "Where do babies come from?" because they are curious. Their question is not about sex. They want to know where they came from before they were born. The question is a healthy and normal part of a child's development. Many children around the age of three or four start to notice pregnant women, which then sparks their curiosity and questions. Children can understand that reproduction is a natural part of life, and that God made all living things to reproduce.\This book is not "The Talk" and is not intended to replace your conversations with your child. Rather it is meant to be a resource to help start those conversations. Please don't think that this topic will be a one-time conversation that you never revisit with your child. Your goal is to create an atmosphere that encourages question asking and answering on the part of both you and your child.\This is a wonderful opportunity for you to become their main source for this information. Being open, safe, available, and prepared when they want to talk is very important. This book aims to help you answer their questions in an honest, biblical, and age-appropriate way. As you read this book with your children, you will be able to ground your conversation in how God created his world and how he created them. You will want to keep reminding your children that every baby is a gift from God and that they are God's special gift to you. Enjoy reading and enjoy helping your children understand more about our amazing God and how he makes all things!\Thank you for taking the time to read this book and talk with your child about it.\Best,
Lindsey Holcomb
Justin Holcomb --From the Author\Justin and Lindsey Holcomb tackle the tough question "Where do babies come from?" in a common sense, biblical way.
This common question all too often leaves parents perplexed about what to say and when to say it. When children ask "where do babies come from?," they ask because they are curious about where THEY came from. The question is not about sex.
The Holcombs, along with illustrator Trish Mahoney, help parents start the conversation with their children about reproduction by giving them the basic tools to guide themÑincluding specific biblical content and age-appropriate ways of talking to children at different stages. Instead of leaving this conversation to "experts" or to the culture, they equip parents to answer questions about sex in the right way at the right time.
Drawing from the story of creation and how God made the living world to reproduce, God Made Babies helps children to understand the gift of reproduction in the light of God's goodness and care.
