Start honest, shame-free conversations that your child feels safe coming back to

It happened in the car.
Your 8-year-old looked up from their apple slices and asked,
“But how does the baby get in the tummy?”

Your brain froze. Your mouth opened.
And somehow, you mumbled something about a special hug and changed the subject.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Explaining sex is one of those parenting milestones that no one really prepares you for.

But you can have this conversation without fumbling or freaking out.

Meet the Explaining Sexual Intercourse Crash Course

This gentle, straight-talking video class helps you explain sex to your child (ages 6 to 14) with honesty, clarity, and zero cringe.

Created by long-time sexual health nurse Cath Hakanson, it gives you the tools to teach sex in a way that aligns with your values – whether faith-based, science-first, or somewhere in between.

You’ll walk away with the confidence to:

  • Start the sex talk without awkwardness or oversharing.
  • Use the right words for your child’s age and stage.
  • Answer tricky questions calmly and truthfully.
  • Keep the door open for future conversations about sex, bodies and consent.

Here’s what’s included:

  • A 60-minute video class with step-by-step support
  • 56 page printable guide packed with age-appropriate advice, scripts, and real-life examples
  • A 4-page Sex Ed Conversation Cheatsheet with all the key phrases and talking points for a quick refresh before (or during) the chat
  • A Sex Talk Planner to jot down your opening phrases, preferred explanations, and personal values – so you feel calm and clear before the conversation even begins
  • Tips to help you choose the right timing and language based on your child’s age

Worried about saying the wrong thing?

This course helps you say just enough – in a way your child can understand and feel safe asking more.
It’s not about giving “the talk.”
It’s about starting a relationship where your child learns to come to you for answers – not the internet.

Perfect guide for talking to kids

This helped me so much when talking to my 6 year old who had lots of questions about how "babies get into a belly". This guide gives many different ways to speak about sex depending on your familes views and values. It gives you a way to speak about as many or as few details as you are comfortable with or that you think your kid is ready for. I appreciate how well written and thought out this was. I'll be using it in the future for more open talks with my children.

Great resource for those of us who are overwhelmed

I grew up in a conservative home and my sex education was abstinence-only, catholic school education. I knew I wanted to do better by my kids but didn't know where or how to start. Cath broke it down into step-by-step instructions that eased my need to deep dive into researching the healthiest way to approach the subject of sex. She did all the hard work for me! She provides different prompt recommendation depending on your family's values which I really appreciate. I didn't have any examples of a healthy conversation growing up but Cath gives excellent suggestions to get you started - no matter how much or little you want to share. I ended this course feeling relieved, directed and confident that my kids will have a healthier relationship with sex than I ever did. It is a must have, first step for any adult looking to do better!
