Not sure if this is age appropriate for your girls, but people on this sub have recommended C is for consent and I love it.
NTA. He asked and you answered in an age appropriate way.
Book suggestion for anyone interested Who Has What?: All About Girls' Bodies and Boys' Bodies
It doesn’t discuss how babies are made, but similarities and differences between male and female bodies.
I have a board book that's called C is for Consent.
It's a very simple story about a boy at a family gathering and how he doesn't need to hug or kiss anyone if he doesn't want to. I think it's good way to introduce boundaries.
Honestly? Schools. Rapists don't just grow up and start raping people, it's a long, drawn out evolution due to a mixture of social isolation and misguided ideas about sex and how to form healthy relationships. You can head a lot of those things off early by providing a nurturing social environment, and provide counselors to students who may be struggling either socially and/or academically.
You also need to seriously reconsider how we treat boys in general, all the machismo hyper-masculine shit needs a serious reconsideration. There are plenty of other ways to express your masculinity without either putting down or emasculating others in the process, it doesn't have to be a zero sum game for boys. You can all pump each other up together and try to succeed at finding girlfriends by supporting each other and pointing out when you might be doing something toxic, or just plain stupid, the kind of things you'd want your friends to check you on so that you can all grow up and have a chance at finding decent partners.
Most important of all though is starting them young on teaching about consent. There's a great board book for young children on the topic called C is for Consent, I encourage all my friends who are having kids to get a copy since it's an excellent way to implant those values before they're old enough to even think about questioning them, so they get deeply rooted in your kids' psyche.
Here's a link if you're interested. To be clear, consent is not just a sexual thing, and this book actually covers it quite well. Some kids, especially those with autism, will definitely relate to these kinds of boundary limits. After that, comprehensive sexual education (including teaching about healthy masturbation habits) when they are of age. https://smile.amazon.com/C-Consent-Eleanor-Morrison/dp/0999890808

Good luck!
The book baby medical school- vaccines is also awesome, it explains what a vaccine is and does, and why it's important in toddler appropriate language! (Great if you have a why kid)

Yes, you are stating the Law of Conservation of Energy, first proposed by Émilie du Châtelet in 1722:
> In a closed system (i.e. there is no transfer of matter into or out of the system) energy can neither be created nor destroyed (Bold is mine).
What you can see is that you are misquoting the Law when you omit the part about a closed system. Most famously, human bodies are not a closed system.
I think it’s admirable that you know this one Law, but I encourage you to use your curiosity to keep learning. While physics is great, much of biology and human anatomy cannot be answered with Laws from Physics alone.
A great place to start (if you’re not a troll like you’re coming across) is this article here by Traci Mann. It describes how, yes, people can lose weight following a strict diet. But that their bodies do have a natural tendency towards specific weights.
TL: dr Losing weight is more complex than a single Law. I encourage you to open your mind and maybe check out this podcast Maintenance Phase to learn more about the complexities of diet culture.
I don’t do that sort of work but found this book helpful in explaining to my kids what civil engineers can do.
I don't think it's exactly what you're looking for but I love Everywhere Babies. It a cute book and it shows lots of different families, including single parents, grandparents, LGBTQ, etc. My kid is obsessed with it.
I got this book for my classroom and every family-friends’ kids that I know. It’s lovely and kids adore it. It makes a platform to discuss what they might see in the world, and that they’re all cool.
Might I suggest you get and read this book?

(Seriously. It's a bathroom, not a 5 star hotel)
You should have sent her a copy of this literary classic
Everyone Poops is such a great book!
OP, THERE'S YOUR NEXT VALENTINES DAY GIFT

Or you could just save up a big one to rip off when she's around. Preferably not when you're in her office.
If he's going to act like a fucking child, treat him like one.
Buy him a copy of this children's book, "Everyone Poops":

We were gifted the Everywhere Babies board book, and I've appreciated the diversity of ethnicities, caregivers, and parenting strategies depicted.
This was a good purchase for us that goes over all the proper names for things in a very accessable way.
"Can I go to the bathroom?" yields me presenting my 3 min TED Talk about how every living thing can go to the bathroom, including them (I teach Science) and then proudly show off my copy of Everyone Poops.

This is how they learn Muddy Water: Link
I took a shit and wiped my butt this morning too.
The only difference between me and the homeless guy? I have a home.
Everyone Poops. If you don't want to see it, help them get into housing.
We just got Who Has What: all about girls’ bodies and boys’ bodies.
It’s got all body parts, including ovaries and restocked.
I highly recommend Bodies Are Cool by Tyler Feder it’s a great book about body/skin differences. The illustrations are beautiful!
I have a few large, dark birthmarks and was very self conscious as a preteen. My mom would just plainly tell me that everyone has things about their bodies that are different. I used to have a friend that would draw on me and turn them into things like a dragon, cat, tree, etc in high school. Now it’s just this thing about my body and I hardly think about them.
Absolutely! Every time we're invited to a baby shower for they ask for a board book instead of a card, my wife and I always give a copy of C is for Consent.
