So… your child just asked about hair “down there”?

You freeze.
You weren’t quite ready for that question.
But here’s the thing: they’re ready. And with the right guide, you can be too.

This isn’t just about hair, hormones, or hygiene – it’s about helping your child feel informed, safe, and supported as their body changes. And about helping you feel calm and confident guiding them through it.

That’s where this puberty talk guide comes in.

What is it?

A warm, practical, shame-free guide to help you talk about puberty – even the tricky bits – in a way that makes sense to you and your child

Created by Cath Hakanson – sex educator, nurse, and mum – this resource walks you through what to say, how to say it, and when to say it.

No lectures. No overwhelm. Just real help for real conversations.

You’ll be able to:

  • Start the puberty talk without the panic
  • Explain body changes and big feelings with confidence
  • Answer tough questions like periods, erections, masturbation, pregnancy, and more
  • Stay connected with your child as they grow
  • Keep your values at the centre of every conversation

“Mum, what’s a wet dream?”

Don’t worry – this guide has you covered.
It includes 100+ common questions and short, ready-to-use answers.
So you can stop Googling and feel prepared on the spot.

What's inside:

Part 1: What you (the parent) need to know

  • What puberty is and how it happens
  • What’s considered early or late
  • What to expect in male and female bodies

Part 2: What your child needs to know

  • Periods, masturbation, ejaculation
  • STIs, pregnancy, sex, consent, attraction
  • Online safety and boundaries

Part 3: How to talk about it

  • Conversation starters
  • Managing embarrassment (theirs and yours)

Suitable for parents of children aged between 6 to 18 years.

When should I buy this guide?

Sooner is better. If puberty’s on your radar, there’s a good chance it’s either already on your child’s mind – or it will be soon. This guide helps you get prepared before the questions or changes catch you off guard. The earlier you feel confident, the easier it’ll be to support your child calmly and clearly when the moment comes.

My child has already started puberty – is it too late to use this guide?

Not at all! Puberty continues well into the teen years, so there are still plenty of changes to come. This guide will help you catch up, start the conversation (even if things have already begun), and support your child through the rest of their journey. Inside, you’ll find tips for getting started if puberty is already underway.

My child isn’t showing signs of puberty – is it too early?

Nope – it’s actually the perfect time to start. Female bodies often begin changing around 7–8, and male bodies around 8–9. If your child is 7 or older, this guide will help you get ahead of the changes so they feel informed, not freaked out.

Will talking about puberty make things more awkward?

Maybe – but in a good way! If your child starts asking more questions, it means they trust you and see you as a safe, reliable source. That’s a huge win 💛

And don’t worry – I’ve got your back. The guide includes 100+ short, simple answers to the most common (and cringiest) questions kids ask.

My child doesn’t want to talk about puberty – will this still help?

Yes! Lots of kids feel shy, squirmy, or just not interested in talking. Inside the guide, you’ll find gentle, practical ideas to help you get the conversation going in a way that feels natural – even if your child is a bit hesitant.

Is this guide inclusive?

Yes. The guide talks about “male bodies” and “female bodies” to describe physical changes – but it doesn’t assume gender identity. It’s designed to support all children and can be adapted to your child’s needs and your family’s values.

Can I use this if my child is neurodivergent?

Yes – many families with autistic or neurodivergent children use this guide. The language is clear and concrete (no confusing metaphors), and the Q&A section is especially helpful for kids who need direct answers.

What if I’m not comfortable talking about sex?

You’re not alone. This guide was made for parents who feel unsure, nervous, or just don’t know where to begin. It gives you the words to use, shows you how to start, and helps you stay calm (even if your child asks something unexpected).

Can I print the guide at home?

Yes! You’ll receive a printable PDF that you can read on any device or print at home. If printing the whole thing feels like too much, you can just print the sections you need.

❓Can I use this with multiple children?

Absolutely. The guide is designed to grow with your family. Whether you’re starting with a younger child or have a tween already deep in the changes, you can use it again and again.

❓Is this a one-time conversation guide?

Nope – puberty is not a one-off talk. This guide helps you start the conversation and keep it going. It’s designed to make you feel confident having many small chats over time (not one big awkward moment).

Still have a question?

Just click the chat button in the bottom corner of your screen and ask away – I’m happy to help 😊

How does the web-based app work?

Once you buy the guide, you’ll get a link to a special website with all the content inside – no downloads needed. You can save it to your phone, tablet, or computer so it’s always easy to find when you need it.

How to save it depends on your device – but it’s usually as simple as tapping the three dots in your browser and choosing “Add to Home Screen” or “Bookmark.”

📱 TIP: Open the link on your phone or tablet, tap the menu (top right corner), and look for “Add to Home Screen.” If you’re not sure how, a quick Google search like "how to save a website to my home screen on [your device]" should do the trick.

What are the bonuses and how do I get them?

When you buy The Parents’ Guide to Puberty before Monday 21 July, you’ll automatically get two free bonuses included with your order:

  1. Puberty Talks Gone Sideways – a short webinar on what to do when the conversation doesn’t go to plan
  2. A personal video reply from Cath to your puberty-related question

No codes, no extra steps – they’ll be included with your digital access.

How do I send in my question for the video reply?

After purchase, you’ll get an email with simple instructions. You can send your question as a quick message, voice note, or short video – whatever works for you.

Cath will reply with a personal video answer within a few days.

👉 Just make sure to send your question in by Friday 1 August to use this bonus.

What if I don’t know what to ask?

That’s okay! You don’t have to ask anything – the bonus is there if you need it. But even a simple “What do I say when my child rolls their eyes?” is totally valid.

How long is the webinar?

It’s 22 minutes long – short enough to watch in one sitting, but packed with calm, practical tips. You’ll also get a downloadable cheat sheet with quick responses to tricky moments.

Will I still get the bonuses if I buy after 21 July?

No – the bonus offer is only available until Monday 21 July. After that, the webinar and personal Q&A access won’t be included with the guide.

You will not receive a physical product in the mail. Instead, you will receive access to a digital file, which you can print out or view on a screen.

This allows you to make as many copies as you'd like for your own family’s use.

30-day no hassle money back guarantee.

The success of my business depends on the happiness of my customers.

If you don’t feel like you’ve got enough value for the price you paid, I’ll give you your money back. No questions asked.

You have 30-days from the date of your purchase to request your refund.

Insighful and soooo helpful

Insighful and soooo helpful

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.

Thankyou Cath

As a practitioner working in this space, coming across this course for free and being able to share it with parents and staff, was just the cherry on top of visiting Cath's website. Thankyou for your accessible, compassionate and colourful approach!

A very useful course, thank you!

My daughter is 6 years old. Masturbation is a delicate subject and it is not easy to talk about it with friends or family, even with the doctor, because masturbation in young children triggers alarms and they think there may be abuse. So I thank you for this course, so well explained. My mother tongue is not English, but this course explains things clearly, in a simple and practical way, with tips and resources. With this course I understood that masturbation in young children is not so rare, I learnt how to deal with it and I felt understood and relieved knowing that there are more parents worried about this. Again, thank you.

wish i purchased this sooner

after a small incident with my 2 & 4 yr old, I purchased this course to learn how to approach teaching my kids about consent and to better understand what I should actually be concerned about. After this course, I purchased a few books that were recommended and will be having regular discussions with both my kids about body curiosity

Incredibly helpful resource

This is such essential reading, even if you do not think this is an issue for your kids in the moment, because it normalizes behaviors that to the untrained may seem problematic!

Just what I needed!

I was putting off the porn chat as I was worried about how I'd answer any questions! But now I don't have to, as it's in this book!

the reassurance I needed!

I've got a kid who is starting to ask lots of questions. This has been a lifesaver, as it's allowed me to answer their questions. But more importantly, it's shown me how to talk about these things in a way they understand

I love the illustrations

My kids are super curious about where babies come from, so I grabbed this to help me explain. The illustrations at the back are great, as I they helped me to explain. and answer their questions. Thank you!!!!!!!

Great product- non judgemental, friendly delivery

I recently purchased the getting started with sex ed course and was pleasantly surprised to find that instead of doing a big awkward talk like I feared, I’d already been doing a lot of the little conversations about bodies, feelings, consent etc with my kids. I liked how she broke the details into specific age/stages. Highly recommend!

Excellent information

Was very helpfull to oriented my daugther

Love it

What a great resource!

Worrying sexual behaviors

A great break down and understanding of sexual behaviors, both worrisome and age appropriate, by age. A great resource for someone who works with children and teens

Really helpful

Heaps of advice I'd never even thought about, super helpful!

Genitalia Learning Fun

A brilliant resource for students with intellectual disability and autism, who are also non verbal, to learn about parts of their body to keep them healthy and safe.

Great place to start!

Our daughter was very curious and was asking about pictures, this gave us a nice intro and gave her clear specific information appropriate to her age.

Good

Very informative, totally recommend

G.P. thank you for leaving a review and congratulations! As you are the winner of the $50 Amazon Gift Card for leaving a review last month! I have just emailed you!

Amazing info

This information is so valuable to all parents and educators. I wish we kids were born with this in hand. So so good.

Love that this book is electronic and I have access to it anywhere. It helps with conversations that tend to make people uncomfortable. Highly recommend

100% recommend

Reading "explaining sexual intercourse" gave me the piece of mind and back up I needed, reinforcing what I knew and offering precious new knowledge, in order for me to feel more confident and as ready as possible for whenever the time comes for educating my child on the matter.

S.P. thank you for leaving a review and congratulations! As you are the winner of the $50 Amazon Gift Card for leaving a review in July! I have just emailed you!

Worrying Sexual Behaviours

Making it easier!

I absolutely love this. This has helped me talk to my young children about different body parts, it also opens up conversation about body types. Everyone is different and I want my kids to know that! I definitely plan to purchase more in the future to help me as my kids grow.

best accidental help ive ever received

I got Worrying Sexual Behaviors because a friend of mine was having issues with her children and I was doing some research to help her. Not only did this help her maneuver this very tricky situation from start to finish in the most healthy way possible, I learned so much right along with her and am so thankful that this exists. We live in America where information like this is hard to come by. I am so incredibly thankful to have access to all of the material on Sex Ed Shop. My daughters and I are so comfortable discussing anything and everything, I cannot begin to explain how important this is when you are a parent trying to break generational cycles. Thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!
