We didn’t want our kids to be surprised by information someone else provided. I’ve always told parents that either you share this important information with your kids, or someone else will.
You don’t have to go it alone, though. There are helpful Christian children’s books available to address the topic of the birds and the bees in your own home, without causing you to cringe or traumatize your kids. Note: I’m using the euphemism so I don’t receive unwanted web traffic from nefarious sources.
I have a list for you of my favorite Christian children’s books on this subject. Check them out!

I had an opportunity to talk to the parenting producer at Focus on the Family about when your children ask where babies come from.
