Written by parents and reviewed by professionals, 30 Days of Sex Talks makes it simple for you and your child to talk about sex in the context in which it belongs; as part of a healthy relationship that also includes joy, laughter and the full range of emotion that defines human intimacy.
We’ve broken down “the talk” into 30 uncomplicated “chats” to make it simple for you to engage in these critical conversations with your young child. Starting with My Body Belongs to Me, and moving into other protective information such as I have Instincts that Keep Me Safe, and Boundaries.
We have also included dialogues on important topics such as affection, anatomy, respecting others, predators, romantic love, and online dangers. Using the numerous questions, conversation starters, and in-depth glossary we have provided, you can launch these essential talks with your child and interject your personal thoughts, feelings and cultural beliefs.
The 30 Days Books also contain downloadable, bonus content. Included with this book is a code that will allow you to download topic cards which can be printed and placed in strategic locations, such as a mirror, refrigerator or in your pocket, to remind you and your child to start talking!
Even from an early age (as soon as your child can use a cell phone or tablet), your child can easily come across messages from media or online sources that are incomplete, misleading or even dangerous. This is why it is vital for you to establish yourself as the first, best source of information for your child when it comes to topics relating to intimacy. You know and love your child better than anyone, so you will know which topics to start with and which to save for later.
Try out the “Look Inside” section to see how simple and effective these talks can be for you and your family. And be sure to check out the other guides from Educate and Empower Kids, How to Talk to Your Kids About Pornography and 30 Days of Sex Talks for Ages 8-11 and 12+.

Comprised of parents and professionals, the mission of Educate and Empower Kids (EEK) is to encourage youth to develop a healthy sexuality through education, empowerment, communication and love. As a nonprofit 501(c)(3), EEK works across the country to provide essential resources for parents and educators to teach children and teenagers about the dangers of online pornography and simple, straight forward solutions for talking about its opposite: healthy sexual intimacy. EEK believes that online pornography consumption among children and teens is reaching epidemic proportions and is one of the most perilous public health issues of our time. With children being exposed at younger and younger ages, porn addiction rates are sky-rocketing, body image and self esteem among both genders continues to plummet and rape culture thrives. In an effort to combat these issues, EEK has written 30 Days of Sex Talks, created valuable online content (educateempowerkids.org), and currently performs in-school and community presentations for children and parents. It is our goal that parents, therapists, community leaders and the general public come to understand and work together to contain the deleterious effects of an entire generation who receives its sexual education from online pornography.
