Never before has it been so easy to talk with your kids about sexual intimacy! Written by parents and 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 “the talk” into 30 short, effective lessons. And now it’s time to engage your child in vital conversations about healthy and abusive relationships, anatomy, consent, physical responses to sex, the first time, pornography, and much more.
Chock full of helpful, thought-provoking discussion questions and accompanied by an in-depth glossary, 30 Days of Sex Talks give you the tools to start and continue these vital conversations.
Remember that having these talks with your child will establish a pattern of healthy conversations for the future. You know and love your child better than anyone, so you will know which topics to start with and which to save for later. As you move through the discussions, you will feel your confidence grow, your interactions will gain depth and your child will be more receptive to your attention. This will result in a much strengthened relationship.
You need not be an expert in addressing these topics, but you should be the first, best source of information on these vital issues. You can begin with the lessons provided by the book, but feel free to interject your personal thoughts, feelings and cultural beliefs. Your goal is that your child will feel comfortable talking to you about anything as he or she grows into the healthy, knowledgeable person he or she will become.
This book also contains 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!

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.
