“Don’t call your children ‘gochu’ or ‘jjijji’, but give them accurate information!”
A Parenting Sex Education Guide from a Son's Mom and Daughter's Dad's Doctor

In the 80s and 90s, sex education usually started in schools in the upper elementary grades.
For children younger than that, information about sex is often explained indirectly or with vague words and actions.
Most parents raising young children today have difficulty educating their children about sex because they received sex education in this kind of atmosphere in the past.
At this time, children may see adults being uncomfortable talking about sex and may think of sex as a 'bad thing', 'shameful thing', or 'something that should not be talked about normally'.
Therefore, it is important for parents to convey information about sex to their children naturally, accurately, and as it is.


To help parents who are having difficulties with sex education, male and female child psychiatrists joined forces to create a sex education picture book.
These are Dr. Park So-young, who appears on the YouTube channel “Our Neighborhood Children’s Hospital, Our Children,” and Dr. Jo Seong-woo, who appears on “Cookdocs.”


This book contains fairy tales and sex education guides written by two doctors themselves.
The first part of the book uses fairy tales and pictures to convey sex education information at a level suitable for children.
The back contains a sex education guide for parents to provide the right educational direction.
Furthermore, it provides model answers to frequently asked questions from children, helping new parents provide smooth sex education.
In particular, since the two doctors are a mother raising a son and a father raising a daughter, they kindly introduce ways to wisely deal with embarrassing questions about sex from children of the opposite sex.


“Enough with the 2% insufficient preschool sex education books!”
A smart picture book that covers all the essentials of early childhood sex education.

Core topics of early childhood sex education include biological information about our bodies, pregnancy and childbirth, human rights, and boundary education.
Most of the books on early childhood sex education published so far only cover one or two of the above topics.
As a result, parents feel that there is a lack of information on sex education and look for other sex education books to provide more information to their children.
"You Need to Know From Age 3! My Body, Your Body" is a picture book that addresses the shortcomings of existing books, richly covering three key topics.


The protagonist, Noah, meets the egg fairy Joy and the sperm fairy Pookie, and they examine the male and female bodies, and come to understand how their bodies are different from other people's bodies.
Also, through the image of your younger sibling in your mother's womb, you can resolve the primal curiosity about how you came into the world.
In the episode with parents, we built on the information previously learned to make them aware that they should respect and care for each other's bodies and human rights, which naturally led to the core topics of early childhood sex education.
Therefore, this book is a welcome gift for children and parents who are just beginning to learn about early childhood sex education, and it will also be a solid early childhood sex education book that provides sufficient educational effects with just one volume.


“Mom, there’s my little brother in my stomach!”
A time to reflect on the value of life and family

To know myself well, I must first resolve the primal question of how I was born.
And to answer that question, we need to understand the existence of mom and dad, and further, the concept of 'family'.

In the fairy tale, the protagonist Noah gets a glimpse of the process of new life beginning through his younger sibling in his mother's womb, and through his father's story, he learns that 'a child's body gradually grows and transforms into an adult's body.'
As young readers examine this process, they will understand that all children in this world, including themselves, have gone through this difficult process to come into the world, and that for that reason, they are all precious beings.


If you are the first child to have a sibling, you may want to talk to your parents about the stress and concerns that come with having a sibling.
Noah hates his younger brother in his mother's womb very much.
In the meantime
It's because I feel like all of my mother's love, which I used to have exclusively, has been taken away by my younger sibling who hasn't even been born yet.
Through this Noah, young readers and parents can talk about the stress and worries that their firstborn child feels, and it can also serve as an opportunity to comfort the firstborn child's heart.


Through "You Need to Know From Age 3! My Body, Your Body," I hope children will have a precious time learning about their bodies and reflecting not only on the mystery of life but also on the importance of family.
