What this book is about
This book is a game-changer for parents of little ones. While most sex ed books target the primary school years and up, Sex Ed for the Stroller Set: How to Have Honest Conversations With Young Children is focused on the early years – babies through to age six. And that’s what makes it so special.
Rather than focusing only on sex, it covers all the foundational conversations that fall under the umbrella of sexuality education. These are the things we often forget about – like how we talk about bodies, gender, consent, and personal safety.
Inside, you’ll find:
- An introduction to sexuality education (and why it’s more than just “the sex talk”)
- Support for developing your own comfort and self-awareness as a parent
- How to share your values around relationships and sex
- Clear guidance on anatomy and reproduction
- Inclusive content on gender identity and sexual orientation
- Practical strategies to prevent child sexual abuse
- Age-by-age guidance from baby to age 6
- Tips for handling tricky questions on the spot
This isn’t a flip-through book for your child – it’s a resource to build your confidence as a parent. If you’ve ever felt unsure about when or how to start these conversations, Sex Ed for the Stroll will give you the clarity and support you need to begin early – and do it well.
I hope you find this book review helpful!
Happy talking!
