Review

"As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with many children and adolescents who struggle to understand appropriate sexual behavior. Today's media centric culture makes teaching healthy sexual boundaries even more difficult than ever before. This book is a great way to address healthy sexuality, without the fear that many parents have about moralizing. Using this book as a starting point is a comfortable and helpful way to get these important concepts into the conversation with your children. This is an excellent tool for both professionals and parents."--Amazon Customer

"t can be so very difficult for parents to address the various issues around sex, social media and more. The "30 Days of Sex Talks" series provides a helpful checklist that parents can readily follow to completely discuss sex and associated issues with their kids. I love the empowerment this series gives to parents by encouraging them to be the primary deliverers of sex talk messaging. The important notion that these are not "one and done" conversations are supported in this and the other books in this series. The age-appropriate material helps parents address issues kids face... and have questions about. Thank you Dina Alexander and the rest of the editorial team for producing these oh-so-helpful books for parents!!!!" --Ginger Kadlec, Child's World America & Be a Kid's Hero Founder

"Great to have a resource for parents!! Sex education is taught at school is merely the biology side of sex, what about the relationship part, the intimacy and connection aspects of sex. What about the positive and possibly negative consequences? This book has been a great jumping off point for my husband and I to launch into our own conversations that now happen easyily throughout our daily life as questions or thoughts arise. We no longer need the book, it served more as a catalyst to begin. I think if kids find parents comfortable they they will be comfortable returning to ask questions or talk about sexual things but if we are uncomfortable squirmish, they will be that way with us and won't want to repeat the experience. This book helped me find my confidence and talk to my kids in a comfortable way! Thanks!!" --Child Rescue, Australia

About the Author

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.
