Big Little Talks

Big Little Talks was written to make “the talk” with your kids easier. *

In the TED Radio Hour episode How Should We Talk To Our Kids About Sex?, author Peggy Orenstein mentions a survey that reported positive outcomes for girls that were spoken to candidly from an early age about healthy sexuality. After listening to this episode, Michael Gene was inspired to write a book that would make it easier for parents to have these talks with their kids.

Topics include our bodies, pleasure, consent, safety, and relationships. Additional content includes a pre-sex checklist, three must-knows before having sex, the secret to great sexual experiences, and word definitions.

Many young people engage in sexual behavior before their brains have fully developed and they understand the risks. Having made mistakes as a teen, Gene know how challenging it can be to always make the right decisions. By giving your kids accurate information, you can help them navigate the complexities of becoming sexually active and enjoy the healthy relationships they deserve.
