What would parnets like to see in a childerns book?

Question

I get tired of the same thing over and over.

I would like to know what people want out of childerns book. What they would like them to teach.

Answer 1

we need more (child like) books to help with talking to lil kids about s*x. it seems that kids are getting more curious at a younger age and i know mine have started asking me about babies and so forth. i would like to see a better selection of books on that subject that are informative but tasteful. meaning gives the info without giving too much info.

Answer 2

I second that, there should be more morals taught early on these days. Too many kids are obnoxious because their parents aren't teaching them about love and respect in a real way.

Coping mechanisms for emotions would also be useful.

Answer 3

I agree with the s*x idea, though maybe not quite about the complete "birds and bees" story.  Something simple like Bobby wanted to know where babies came from and went on a quest and looked under a rock and behind a tree, etc., then found out that they come from the love that mommy and daddy have for each other.  Give more or less info based on audience age, and you'll be killing two birds with one stone: letting kids know where babies come from AND making it known that it's when a mommy and daddy (or strong couple, marriage is a good idea though I know good real world examples where they're not and it works) love each other.  Love is something that seems to have been lost these days, and I'm not talking about just lust.  That would really help boost the morality a bit.

Another thing I'd like to see would be more about respect and how to respect others and themselves.  Too many young people have close to zero respect for others and are spoiled beyond belief.  Perhaps more books will help with that.

Also, there seems to be a horrible trend where kids don't have nearly as many books.  Everything is switching over to technology.  I don't agree with it, but if need be, maybe they could push these stories on those interactive video games they create for younger audiences.

Answer 4

i look for educational or social behavior material when buying books for my daughter.
