The Birds and The Bees

Our goal is not to teach our children about how to make a baby, but how a baby develops!

As our children grow, they are going to hear 

about “the birds and the bees” from other kids, and the information 

they get on the playground can be confusing or inaccurate. We want 

them to learn the natural, biological basics at home first.

One approach to teaching the mechanics of reproduction without 

discomfort is to literally study the birds and the bees. By watching 

how animals mate, birth, and raise their young in nature, families can 

talk through the biological process as a science lesson about survival 

and family, rather than as a single hushed conversation.
