Do you struggle to talk to your kids about s-e-x?
- You want to be the one to educate them about puberty and sex, but you aren’t sure what to say, how to say it or how much information to give.
- When your kids ask questions you feel embarrassed and uncomfortable (Or when you try to talk to them, THEY feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.)
- You want your kids to feel comfortable coming to you with questions and concerns.
- You have a good relationship with your kids and want that to continue through adolescence.
- You are worried that if you wait too long to have "The Talk", you'll miss your window of opportunity.
The truth is, there is a window of opportunity to talk to kids about sex.
Are your child’s feet catching up to yours?
Is your child between the ages of 9-13?
Can you SMELL puberty coming down the hallway?
If so, it is time to have “The Talk”.
Today’s kids are bombarded with sexual content from the media, friends, music lyrics, Youtube videos and more. Now, more than ever, kids need their parents to help them understand the confusing messages they are getting around sexuality, growing up and intimacy.
After taking our Time for The Talk online class you will have….
- Covered the basics of everything your 9-13 year old needs to know.
- Demonstrated to your child that you are willing and able to talk about sex related topics.
- Learned how to speak the truth in a relaxed, fun way (even if you feel embarrassed).
- Formed a deeper bond with your child.
- Experienced being a student with your child and learning the same things together.
- Opened-up the lines of communication and created an ongoing dialogue.
- Crossed "The Talk” off your list of things to do!
TIME FOR THE TALK
is a 4-week online comprehensive sex education program that you complete at home with your child.
Our program includes:
- 4 interactive zoom calls with Torie to answer questions and teach sensitive topics to parents and kids.
- 4 interactive videos for parents to watch with their kids at home.
- 4 Q & A videos of us answering the most frequently asked questions by kids ages 9-13
- PDF Fun Sheets that include activities for you to complete with your child.
- Email access for parents during the class for any unexpected questions that come up.
Each week focuses on a certain topic:
What you will NOT find with Time for The Talk are fear tactics, religion, judgement, or right/wrong. So much research has been done on how fear tactics don’t work and yet so many places still use them.
Our program is right for you if….
- You know that it’s important to make time for “The Talk” but you haven’t gotten around to it yet.
- You covered the basics with your kids but realize there is new stuff they are being exposed to and you want to make sure you are covering it all.
- You want to be able to fit your own values into a sex education program.
- You prefer an honest, open, fact-based approach (no threats or fear here).
- You want to build and maintain a strong bond with your son or daughter that can last a lifetime.
- You want to empower your child to make healthy decisions for their future
- You like our “knowledge is power” philosophy and relaxed style and think our approach would be a good fit with your family.
This program may not be right for you if…
- You believe in fear-based tactics when it comes to talking about sex and other teen issues. (Despite the mountains of evidence that they don’t work, these programs are still being taught, but not by us.)
- Your child has not been exposed to tv, popular music, magazines or the internet. This program is designed to prepare modern kids for a world including texting, YouTube and social media.
- You already have a strong sex education philosophy and have no problem sharing conversations and information with your children, and they are receptive to it.

IS IT TIME FOR THE TALK?
Got Questions? We Got Answers!
Yes. Time for the Talk is a hybrid model with 4 LIVE Zoom calls during the month with Torie, and 4 videos with fun sheets to complete at home with your parent.
The video classes take anywhere from 20-40 minutes to complete. The Zoom calls when we gather together will last one hour. Please expect to be on camera and have a quiet and private place to participate.
This is a very normal response. We created this program because kids aren’t usually excited to talk with their parents about sex and their changing bodies. From our experience, after the first class or two, students typically become much more comfortable and look forward to spending this one-on-one time with you. Even if they never come around to ENJOYING the topic, at least you will show them that you are open to talking about it and knowledgeable.
This Hybrid Class costs $297.
We believe that this is one of the best investments you can make in your child’s future. By opening the lines of communication, you will teach your child that they can come to you, even when the topic is uncomfortable. As they enter their teen years, they will know that you are there for them. This is priceless.
No. We do discuss abstinence and how it is the only 100% effective way to prevent pregnancy. However, we also mention birth control as a means for preventing pregnancy. All of this information is presented in an age-appropriate manner. Kids ages 9-13 are usually in the “OMG this is so gross! I’m never doing that! stage” so we tell the facts of life, while still meeting them where they are.
No. Time for the Talk is created for you to insert your value system into our program. We provide the facts and opportunity for you to add, and discover, your values throughout the classes.
As parents, it’s unlikely that we will ever feel ready for the teen years. However, you can ease your worries by working on educating your child and becoming comfortable talking together about all of these topics. You can do this and we will help you every step of the way.
