Overview

"The Renewal of Life; How and When to Tell the Story to the Young" by Margaret Warner Morley is a guidebook written in the early 20th century. The book addresses a critical aspect of education, focusing on how to teach young children about the origins of life, particularly concerning sex and reproduction. It emphasizes the importance of providing clear, accurate information to children as a means to foster a healthy understanding of their own bodies and relationships. The opening of the book sets the stage by highlighting the inadequacies in current educational practices regarding the topic of sex education for children. It discusses the necessity for parents to be proactive in this area, asserting that children should receive comprehensive and compassionate instruction on their sex-nature that aligns with their broader moral upbringing. Morley argues that neglecting this essential education can leave children vulnerable to misinformation, leading to misconceptions that could negatively impact their lives. The text also reflects on the role of various figures, including parents, teachers, and religious leaders, in guiding children toward an informed and healthy perspective on these critical matters.
