How To Talk To Your Kids About Sex

An Age-Appropriate Sex Education Toolkit

This toolkit is designed as a practical guide for caregivers who want to support healthy, age-appropriate conversations about bodies, boundaries, consent, relationships, and sexuality. Rather than relying on a single “big talk,” this resource encourages ongoing conversations that grow with your child over time.

To make the toolkit easy to navigate, it is organized into sections based on age and developmental themes. Within each section, you’ll find suggested topics, conversation starters, and guidance for responding to common questions. You don’t need to read it from beginning to end: feel free to jump to the sections that feel most relevant to your family right now.

Navigate this guide by hovering over the guide and clicking the arrows that appear at the bottom of the page. You can also click the guide for a fullscreen view. Each underlined section, button, resource or video is a clickable link!
