Do you want to teach your kids about sexuality in a way that aligns with your family’s values and beliefs but don’t know where to start?
Do you wish you had a roadmap for age-appropriate discussions about bodies, boundaries, sexuality and relationships?
Are you worried about how to answer your child’s questions about sex in an age-appropriate way?
Do you want to create a safe space for your child to come to you—not the internet or their peers—for accurate information about sex?
Do you wish you had a supportive space to explore your own beliefs about sexuality before discussing them with your child?
Was sex a taboo topic in your home, and now you want to approach it differently with your own kids—but aren’t sure how to begin?
Talking to your child about sexuality can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. This workshop empowers parents to explore their own sexual values, develop confidence in discussing sexuality with their children, and create a safe, open, and respectful environment for conversations about sexual wellness, pleasure, safety, and healthy relationships.
We are providing three separate 4-hour trainings, each tailored to a specific age group, because the conversations appropriate for an 8-year-old are very different from those for a 16-year-old. Each workshop will follow the same themes and structure and the content will be geared towards the specific age group.
Sexuality is a lifelong journey, and conversations about it should be too. By fostering open, honest, and values-based discussions, you help your child navigate sexual wellness, relationships, boundaries, and self-awareness with confidence and clarity.
This workshop is designed to be inclusive of all genders, sexual orientations, and family structures while remaining broad enough to address the diverse experiences and values that parents bring. Our goal is not to tell you what to believe but to help you explore and articulate your own beliefs about sexuality so that you can communicate them effectively to your child, regardless of their identity or experiences.
We recognize that conversations about sex and relationships can look different across cultures, religions, and personal backgrounds. This space is meant to be respectful and non-judgmental, allowing for open discussion while honoring individual values. While we will touch on universal themes—such as healthy relationships, consent, pleasure, and safety—we encourage you to personalize these discussions in ways that align with your family’s unique perspectives.

Here are some examples of how these conversations could go better with the right tools and approach from your workshop:
Typical Response: “You’re too young to know about that.” or “The stork brings them!”
Better Approach: “Babies grow inside a special place in a parent’s body called the uterus. When they’re ready to be born, they come out through the vagina or sometimes through surgery. Do you want to know more?”
Typical Response: “You better not be thinking about that!” or “That’s not something you need to worry about.”
Better Approach: “I appreciate you telling me that. What are people saying? Let’s talk about what’s true, what’s not, and how to make sure you have accurate information.”
Typical Response: “That’s not something you need to know.” or “Ask someone else.”
Better Approach: “That’s a great question! Being gay means that someone loves or is attracted to people of the same gender. Just like some people are attracted to the opposite gender, others feel differently—and that’s okay.”
Typical Response: “That’s just puberty. Everyone goes through it.”
Better Approach: “I know changes like this can feel new and sometimes confusing. Your body is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. Do you have any questions or things you’re wondering about?”
Typical Response: “Just don’t let anyone touch you.”
Better Approach: “Consent means that both people agree to something. This applies to hugs, sharing toys, or anything involving our bodies. If someone says ‘no’ or seems uncomfortable, we always respect that.”
Typical Response: “You better not be doing that!” or “That’s disgusting—don’t ever talk about it.”
Better Approach: “I appreciate you bringing this up. The internet is full of things that may not reflect real relationships. Let’s talk about what’s healthy, what’s not, and how to protect yourself online.”
Typical Response: Avoiding the topic altogether.
Better Approach: “It’s important to understand that relationships and sexuality should always be about respect, communication, and mutual enjoyment. Do you have any questions about what a healthy relationship looks like?”
By using open, honest, and age-appropriate responses, you can create a safe and ongoing dialogue with your child—so they trust you as their source of information.

You are welcome to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable. This workshop is a supportive space, and participation in discussions is encouraged but never required.
Absolutely! Many parents feel unsure or anxious about talking about sexuality with their children and often it’s because healthy sexuality conversations were avoided, awkward, or overlooked in our own homes growing up. These workshops are designed to help you do it differently with your own children and navigate these conversations with confidence and clarity.
This depends on how many workshops you attend. You are welcome to attend the one that applies to your children’s ages today, attend two, or all three. We are also creating a Facebook group for on-going community support for anyone who attends one of our workshops. Finally, all attendees will receive a workbook with detailed information on appropriate and inappropriate behavior for each age group, developmental stages to expect related to questions about sexuality tailored for each group, more self-exploration exercises, which includes scripts and scenarios, and lots of additional resources including a book list, podcast list, videos, etc. for continuing the conversations with your child.
That’s completely understandable! Many parents feel unsure about these conversations. This workshop is designed to provide guidance, support, and tools to help you navigate these discussions at your own pace in a way that feels natural and aligned with your values.
We will cover age-appropriate discussions, breaking down key topics by developmental stages so you feel confident knowing what and when to talk about different aspects of sexuality, relationships, and safety.
We’ll discuss practical strategies for handling unexpected questions, including ways to respond in the moment, revisit the topic later, and create an ongoing dialogue rather than a one-time conversation.
No, this workshop is not about imposing a particular viewpoint. Instead, it helps you clarify your own values and provides tools to communicate them effectively to your child while fostering respect for different perspectives.
Yes, we will touch on modern challenges like digital safety, media influence, and how to have age-appropriate conversations about topics such as pornography, sexting, and social media.
Many parents didn’t have open discussions about sexuality in their own childhood which is why we created this workshop in the first place. This workshop will provide guidance on how to shift the narrative and create a comfortable, open environment for your child, even if this is new territory for you.
Differing perspectives are common! This workshop can help you navigate those differences, find common ground, and create a shared approach to talking with your child in a way that respects both of your values.
We will discuss how to introduce the concept of pleasure and intimacy in a way that aligns with healthy relationship-building, self-respect, and body autonomy, while keeping discussions age-appropriate.
Yes! We will offer sample scripts, conversation starters, and practical tools to help guide discussions with your child at different ages and stages.
We will provide additional resources through our workbook, a Facebook for community interaction and support, book recommendations, so you can continue growing in your confidence and knowledge beyond the workshop.
