Using 'Just for Boys' and 'Just for Girls' books

I actually bought these last year for my daughter, but I find they are a bit too academic. Honestly, I prefer just talking to her during our evening walks—it feels less like a classroom lesson and more natural. Does anyone have books that are more narrative-based instead of these Q&A styles?

My son is in grade 6 and he was very shy to talk about puberty. I left the 'Just for Boys' book on his study table without saying anything, and two days later, he came to me with a question about his voice changing. Sometimes, giving them the space to read privately is better than forcing a sit-down talk.

That is a great initiative! My suggestion would be to not treat it like a 'big talk'. I usually bring up one topic from the book while we are having dinner or driving to their tuition classes so the pressure is off. It really helps to keep the tone light and casual.

We use these books as a supplement to what our school covers in the biology curriculum. It helps me clarify the specific doubts my kids have after their 'Health and Hygiene' sessions at school. It’s a good reference point to have at home.

I am a bit skeptical about these binary books. Why label them 'boys' and 'girls'? I feel like kids today are much more open-minded, and I would rather buy books that talk about human growth in general. Are there any gender-neutral options that anyone here recommends?
