Sex education doesn’t have to be one big, awkward conversation

Maybe your child has asked a question you weren’t expecting. Perhaps puberty is approaching, or you’re wondering whether there’s something you should already be talking about.

That’s where my free sex education newsletter comes in.

Twice a week, I’ll share practical advice to help you work out what your child needs to know, find the words to explain it and keep the conversations going as they grow.

When you sign up, you’ll also get my free age-by-age sex education guides, so you can see which topics are becoming relevant for your child.

What you’ll find in your inbox:

  • What to talk about and when – work out which conversations matter now and which can wait.
  • Words you can actually use – examples of what to say when your child asks a question or something unexpected happens.
  • Help with the tricky topics – bodies, puberty, consent, relationships, porn, sex and online safety.
  • Advice that fits your child – ways to adapt explanations to their understanding, communication and learning needs, including autism and ADHD.
  • Room for your family values – accurate information you can explain alongside your family’s beliefs and values.

You don’t need to cover everything at once. Small conversations count, and I’ll help you work out what to say next.

ALL AGES
Get your free age-by-age guides, plus one email every Sunday covering family sex ed across childhood and adolescence.

Hi, I’m Cath!

I’m Cath Hakanson, a family sex educator, sexual health nurse, sexologist, author and founder of Sex Ed Rescue.

I’ve spent over 30 years working in sexual health, and I’m also an autistic ADHDer and mum of two neurodivergent kids.

So I know that even when you understand the facts, finding the right words to explain them to your own child can be surprisingly difficult.

That’s why I share practical, straightforward advice that helps you have these conversations in ways that work for your child and your family.
