This is a great tool on how to navigate conversations around bodies, consent, and sex. Elizabeth has given me new language and most importantly made me feel affirmed as a parent that I am not alone. Whether you have never talked with the young people in your life about their bodies or you talk all the time, this book will amplify your skills to be a trusted adult for every young person you know.” –Brittany McBride, sex education expert and parent“This is the book you have been waiting for to help you get clarity about how to talk to children about their bodies, boundaries, respect, consent, and emotions. It offers practical guidelines and is written in an open, direct, inclusive, and funny manner. I wish I had had it when my child was young. It is a wonderful resource for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone who cares about children. I will be putting copies on my shelf at work and gifting copies to all the new parents I know!” –Carrie Singh, MS, student affairs, director of Student Affairs at an independent, single-gender pre-K-12 school“With sensitivity and respect, Elizabeth Schroeder shows parents and caregivers an approach to raising young people with a positive understanding of their bodies and healthy boundaries through honest and open communication.
