As children grow, so do their questions.
The years between 7 and 9 are often filled with curiosity about bodies, friendships, growing up, fairness, belonging, and how the world works. Children become increasingly aware of differences between people, begin hearing new ideas from friends and media, and often ask deeper questions about identity, relationships, and what it means to be a boy or a girl.
Made in His Image: Ages 7–9 is a practical, biblically grounded guide designed to help parents navigate these important conversations with confidence and wisdom. Written specifically for families of primary-aged children, this book provides age-appropriate guidance on body awareness, self-worth, friendships, personal safety, gender, growing up, and God's design for people and relationships.
Combining child development knowledge, practical parenting strategies, real-life examples, conversation starters, and biblical encouragement, this resource helps parents answer questions honestly while strengthening trust and connection with their child. Rather than waiting until the teenage years, it encourages families to build strong foundations now so future conversations can happen naturally and confidently.
In a culture filled with competing messages about identity and self-worth, children need trusted adults who can help them understand who they are, how valuable they are, and why every person deserves dignity and respect.
This is more than a parenting book. It's a guide to helping children develop confidence, character, and a strong understanding of their identity as people made in the image of God.
