Truscifi Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Is there a book like the one mentioned in the other thread but for boys? Just with basic "what to expect" and hygiene info? Ds just turned 9, and while he isn't there yet I think it would be a good idea to start preparing him now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I tried to talk to ds12 (almost 13) the other day and he said, 'oh please God, no.' LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinE Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I used the Boy's Body Book. I found the information was just enough for Ds when he was nine. After he finished the book, we also had a general discussion about changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebastianCat Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 We (meaning DH) has gone over this book with our 10-year-old DS. It's written in the same style as the girls' book from American Girl. When I bought it and gave it to DH, he really liked it - he even said he wished he had something just like it when he was this age. He said it would have answered a LOT of questions about issues that his parents never talked to him about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmamaz Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I used this book for both of my boys - my older one might have been 11, but his questions were CONSTANT. This book slowed the questions down a LOT. My 9 yo read it as part of his big bin of science books this year. He didnt want to talk about anything at all, but read it cover to cover and mentioned one or two things (like one night I was tucking him in and he said "I sure hope I dont ever have any wet dreams" . . .lol ok . . . ) Its aimed at preteens, very basic.

Truscifi Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 I wonder if my library has any of those. Off to search.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Mousie Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 DS has What's Going On Down There? I pre-read it, but that was probably 2-3 years ago, so I don't remember many specifics at the moment. I do recall noticing that it had good information, not a bunch of euphemisms.
