Try a free one day sample of Growing Up with God Level 1!
Growing Up with God is written as a personal journal for your kids. It is available in three different levels and each level comes in both a boys and girls version to make it as specific as possible so as to not expose kids to something they are not ready for. Though it is designed to be read independently by your child, you can use this however you want. Each digital level comes with the level and book of your choice (boy or girl version) plus a teaching companion in digital format for you. This will give you an overview of what your students are learning as well as their reflection questions and the conversation prompts they have. Students are prompted each day to come to you with questions to help facilitate an open-ended line of communication and a pattern that will hopefully follow them all throughout their lives.
Level 1 is designed for students who are in prepuberty or ready for just a brief introduction of what to expect as their bodies change in the years to come. It does not go into the details of intercourse nor does it show any pictures of the opposite sex---keeping focused on personal growth and development. Though it is designed to be read by your students independently as a journal with reflection questions to help them process, it can also be read to your kids if they struggle with reading.
As you'll see from the first lesson, I do not mince words in the unit, and I don't play in a gray area. We use biblical definitions and one firm biblical truth for who we are and our original design. The book leaves ample room for discussion with you as the parent each day and is a launching pad for you and your student. There is both a boys and a girls version available, though you will only see one sample lesson here. Some lessons are nearly identical (such as this first one), while others vary greatly, depending on the content.
