But I want to challenge you to avoid this temptation of skipping “the talk”with your child. Because if you don’t teach your child about sex, someone else will.

Your child is going to hear about sex eventually. And probably much earlier than you think. But from whom? Only time can tell, but it may be a classmate who hears about sex from her older sister. It could be a television show. It will probably be the internet or social media. It could be their sex ed teacher in middle school.

But no one has a greater influence over your child than you. For the rest of her life, what you say and do will mean more to her than what she sees a friend or coach or mentor say and do. Her attachment to you was formed from birth and that attachment is always there in one form or another.

This is why you must be the one to answer your child’s questions about sex.Because if you don’t, the culture will.

As a pediatrician, I have spoken to hundreds of parents who are afraid to have the talk with their child. What do I say? What do I not say? What words do I use? When are they old enough? What if they have more questions? These are normal questions and concerns every parent has.

To meet this need, I’ve created an online course that includes everything you need to know about having the talk with your child.

How to Talk to Your Kids About Sex is a series of eBooks and videos I created to explain how to have the talk with your child at every age and stage: elementary school, preteen and teen.

While you won’t be explaining the mechanics of sex to your teen or preteen(hopefully you will have done this in your initial talk with your child when he is younger), these ages certainly need have a talk of a different kind about sex: consent, sexually transmitted infections, pressure to have sex by peers and boyfriends and girlfriends, etc.

This course includes…

·     Sample scripts for what to say to your child

·     Charts for the stages of puberty and statistics for STIs

·     Frequently asked questions and their answers

·     A guide for how to tackle tough subjects such as porn, consent, and peer pressure

This course encompasses it all because you will be faced with all of these questions from your child at one point or another.
