Sex Education 101

Do you want to find a better way to talk to your child about love, sex and relationships?

Sex education is a very broad topic. It is a lot more than explaining sex (or the facts of life or the birds and bees) to kids. 

It is about giving our kids the skills to make healthy and informed choices about love, sex and relationships. Which means that there are many different conversations to have with your children, regardless of their age.

So here you’ll find lots of information that will help you to naturally talk to your child about sex, all while respecting your family values. 

This page is divided into sections to help you learn what sex education is all about, the different things you may want to talk about, like bodies and body parts, sexual intercourse and other important sex education topics! You’ll also find information about the different ways to talk to your children, as well as lots of sex education books for children on a wide range of different sex-ed topics, and sex education videos for both children and parents. You’ll also find age-specific sex education guides that will point you to all the information that is relevant for your child now!

I believe that you can talk to your child about sex with LESS cringe and MORE confidence, and empower them to make smart sexual decisions.

And I’m here to show you how!
