"Muuuum... how are babies made?"

You knew this day would come… but not mid-grocery shop while juggling bananas and a fussy toddler.

And now you're stuck.
Do you keep it simple? Mention eggs and sperm? Say something or brush it off?

You want to get it right — but you don’t want to overdo it either.
You want to protect your child’s innocence — but also prepare them for the world they’re growing up in.

That’s exactly why I created The Parents’ Guide to Explaining Sex — your step-by-step shortcut to answering these questions calmly, clearly, and in a way that feels right for your family.

 The gentle, age-appropriate sex ed guide you’ve been looking for 

This 85-page illustrated PDF (plus mobile web app) walks you through five simple steps for explaining sex – so your child gets just the right amount of information, at just the right time.

 Created by sex educator and parent Cath Hakanson, this guide takes the stress, second-guessing, and awkward blushing out of the conversation.

 You'll discover how to: 

  • Feel confident answering questions like “how are babies made?” and “did you do that to make me?”
  • Share accurate, values-aligned information without giving too much, too soon
  • Lay the foundation for open, shame-free communication that lasts a lifetime

 What’s inside: 

  • 85-page downloadable PDF (yours to print or keep forever)
  • Mobile-friendly web app – open it on your phone or tablet anytime, no downloads needed
  • The 5 phases of explaining sex, tailored to age and curiosity
  • 10 key things to know before you start
  • 20+ ideas for everyday conversations
  • Child-friendly illustrations (fertilisation, pregnancy, diverse baby-making)
  • Prompts, scripts, and reflection space to prepare your answers

 Worried it’s too soon? Or too late? 

This guide is designed for kids aged 3–14, but it’s never too late to get the basics right. You don’t need to cover everything at once – just start where your child is at.

The 5-step approach helps you ease in, revisit later, and share information gradually as their curiosity grows.

And if you’re not sure whether your child is ready, that’s where the bonuses come in…

 🚀 BONUS 1: The Sex-Talk 3-Day Sprint + Live Q&A Call 

You’ve got the guide — now let’s make sure you actually use it.

The 3-Day Sprint is a supportive email-based bootcamp that helps you:

  • Day 1: Work out what to say (using the guide)
  • Day 2: Decide how to start the conversation naturally
  • Day 3: Learn what to do if it doesn’t go as planned

Then you’ll be invited to a Live Q&A Call, where I’ll personally answer your questions and help you navigate anything that still feels tricky.

It’s your built-in accountability and encouragement — so the “sex talk” actually happens, not someday, but this weekend.

 ✨ BONUS 2: Sex Talk Readiness Quiz (web-based app) 

Not sure if your child is ready to learn about sex? This quick interactive quiz walks you through five key signs to help you find out.

You'll get instant feedback, tailored guidance, and next-step suggestions based on your child’s developmental stage – so you can feel confident you're not saying too much (or too little).

Perfect for getting clear on when to talk and what to say.

 Not sure if it’ll match your values? 

No worries. The guide includes flexible language options you can adapt to your beliefs and comfort level.
Many faith-based, conservative, and homeschooling families use it confidently.

 Imagine the difference… 

Instead of freezing when your child asks, you take a calm breath and answer simply.
No panic. No fumbling. No blushing.

Your child gets clarity and reassurance — and you get the quiet confidence of knowing you’ve done it right.

Because the “sex talk” isn’t one big conversation you can mess up. It’s a series of small, loving moments — and this guide helps you start the very first one.

Suitable for parents of children aged between 3 to 14 years.

❓Do I need to read the readiness guide first?
No, but it helps! The printable, Is My Child Ready to Learn About Sex?, is a quick tool to help you gauge what your child might already know and what they’re ready to learn next. It’s especially useful if you’re unsure where to start or how much detail to include.

❓Do I need both guides?
They work beautifully together. The readiness guide helps you decide what to say, and the main Parents’ Guide to Explaining Sex helps you say it.

❓Can I use this if we have religious or faith-based values?
Absolutely. Both guides include flexible language you can adapt to your beliefs and comfort level. Many faith-based, conservative, and homeschooling families use them with confidence.

❓Do I have to show my child the pictures?
Not at all. The illustrations are optional — they’re there to help if you want visual support. You can choose which images to show (or skip) based on your child’s age and comfort level.

❓Is this a one-time talk or something ongoing?
It’s a conversation starter, not a one-off talk. The guide helps you begin early and then revisit the topic naturally as your child grows.

❓Will this fit our family values?
Yes. The guide gives you the facts in simple, child-friendly language — and leaves space for you to add your own values and beliefs. You stay in control of what’s shared and how it’s explained. It’s used confidently by parents of many faiths, including Catholic, LDS, and Muslim families.

❓Is it inclusive?
Yes. All my resources are written to include every type of family. Each guide includes two sets of scripts — one using traditional language (man and woman), and one using inclusive language (person with a penis, person with a vulva). They’re suitable for same-sex parents, transgender parents, blended families, and anyone who wants their child to grow up understanding that families and bodies come in many forms.
❓Is it neurodivergent-friendly?

Yes. I’m AuDHD myself (and parent neurodivergent kids), so everything I create is written in a clear, direct, and literal way — no confusing metaphors or vague phrasing. The language is straightforward and easy to follow, which makes it especially helpful for neurodivergent parents and children who prefer facts over fluff.

❓How does the web-based app work?
When you buy the guide, you’ll get a link to a special website with all the content inside — no downloads needed. You can open it on your phone, tablet, or computer, and even save it to your home screen for quick access.

📱 Tip: On most devices, just tap the browser menu and choose “Add to Home Screen” or “Bookmark.”

Still got questions?
Click the Chat button (bottom right of your screen) and I’ll help you out!

Do I have to do the Sprint to use the Guide?
Not at all. The Sprint is just an optional bonus – a little extra support to help you actually have the conversation. You can read and use The Parents’ Guide to Explaining Sex on its own, or follow along with the Sprint if you’re ready to get the talk done by the weekend.

What exactly happens during the Sprint?
Each day, you’ll get a short email with one simple, doable task – designed to help you move from reading to doing.

  • Day 1 (Thurs 30 Oct): Choose your opener and set a warm tone
  • Day 2 (Fri 31 Oct): Plan what you’ll say and how you’ll say it
  • Day 3 (Sat 1 Nov): Lock in a time and have the conversation (with a quick pep talk from me!)

You’ll also get email support, gentle reminders, and a printable worksheet to help you plan and stay on track.

What if I miss a day?
No stress – you can catch up anytime. The Sprint is flexible, so you can move at your own pace. All the emails and printables will still be there when you’re ready.

How much time does it take each day?
Just 15 minutes a day. The goal is to make this as simple and manageable as possible – even if life’s a bit hectic.

What support do I get after the Sprint?
You’ll get:

  • A Sunday reassurance email, in case the conversation didn’t go as planned
  • A Monday check-in to help you keep the momentum going
  • A live Q&A call with Cath to answer your questions
  • A 1-week follow-up email to help you keep the door open for future chats

Do I need to finish the Guide before the Sprint starts?
Nope. You can skim through the main steps first, or follow along with the Sprint and use the guide as your reference each day. I’ll tell you exactly which sections to focus on.

How long is this 3-Day Sprint available?
It’s a limited-time bonus! Once this offer period ends, the Sprint and Live Q&A Call won’t be included – so if you want the extra support, now’s the perfect time to grab it.

You’ll receive an instant-access PDF after purchase with links to:

  • Download The Parents’ Guide to Explaining Sex
  • Open the web-based app (for easy reading on any device)
  • Access your bonus printable (Is My Child Ready to Learn About Sex?)
