Mum, what's sex for? Where do babies come from? What's a "sperm"?

Such questions are enough to rattle even the most confident parent. And if you don't answer them, someone else will surely try: schoolmates, social media, or internet pornography.

But providing a thorough, responsible sexual education doesn't have to be a minefield of discomfort and misinformation! The Parents' Guide to Explaining Sex, the latest guide by experienced sex educator Cath Hakanson, is an easy no-nonsense guide on exactly what to say to your kids and, better still, how and when to say it.

Learn how to:

• Broach the subject with even the most reluctant child
• Break sex down into simple, manageable steps to avoid overwhelming your child (or yourself!)
• Answer your child's questions and satisfy their curiosity
• Explain sex however feels most comfortable

The Parents' Guide to Explaining Sex is full of child-friendly images and includes both traditional and inclusive explanations.

So put away the birds and the bees - The Parents' Guide to Explaining Sex is communication done right.
