Questions parents ask
Honest answers about the book and how to use it at home.
What ages is Kom ons gesels for?
Kom ons gesels is written for parents of young children — roughly ages 3 to 12. The 26 conversations start simple and grow with your child, so you can return to the book as they get older.
Is the book Bible-based?
Yes. Kom ons gesels is a Christian resource grounded in a biblical view of identity — that every child is made and loved by God. It helps parents speak about hard topics from a place of faith, not fear.
How do the 26 conversations work?
Each of the 26 conversations is a short, guided prompt you read and talk through with your child. They move gently from identity and belonging to body safety, gender, the first conversations about sex, and how to handle safe and unsafe pictures (pornography).
What language is the book in?
The book is in Afrikaans. It was written for Afrikaans-speaking families in South Africa, though the themes — identity, safety and faith — speak to any home.
What does it cost and how do I get it?
Kom ons gesels is R 180 and ships within South Africa. You can order it directly from this site — add it to your cart and check out securely.
Does it cover body safety and online safety?
Yes. The conversations include body safety (which parts are private and who may touch them) and how to talk about safe and unsafe pictures, giving children the words to tell you if something feels wrong.
