Who hasn’t found himself completely helpless in the face of his son’s questions, ranging from ” how children are made ” has ” why is my penis so hard when I touch it? » ? Yes, sometimes it is not easy to answer these questions. Taboo, embarrassment, discomfort, analysis of one’s relationship with intimacy… There are many reasons that can make us feel uncomfortable when faced with legitimate questions from our heirs.
But luckily Anna Roy, an illustrious midwife who needs no introduction, accompanied by the graphic talent of Mademoiselle Caroline, has just published the perfect book All about lips and willies published by Flammarion Jeunesse.
“All about babbling”, to talk about intimacy without taboos
We will talk here about what sometimes annoys, what often makes us laugh, what we don’t dare talk about, in short what is taboo in our society.
Here’s how it starts All about lips and willies. An introduction that immediately lays the foundations: this book is intended for the little ones – from 6 years old -, to those who have questions about their body, and who need answers to build themselves peacefully.
Knowing your body well from an early age allows future adults to respect themselves and others. Consent, intimacy, real names of reproductive organs and private parts, differences between the female and male sex… Knowing all this allows the child’s healthy development and allows him to feel good about himself and his body.
Anna Roy, author of the book, explains how and why we need to talk to children about intimacy in a different way:
It’s a serious topic, so let’s talk about it in precise words. Children are not ashamed to talk about it. It is often adults who feel most shocked by their questions. The book aims to open dialogue and circulate information.
Finally, for me, as a midwife, it was important to talk about consent and tell babies: your body belongs absolutely and totally to you and no one can touch it without your approval.
In short, a book of public utility, which should be distributed in schools, from CP onwards!
