Get Our First Box!
How can you talk to your kids about sex in a way that doesn’t make them roll their eyes… or feel worse than when your own parents had “The Talk” with you?
You know how important it is to talk to your kid(s) about sex, bodies, consent, and more — because they’re already experiencing changes and building new relationships. But you need a little help to make sure you’re sharing information in the most age-appropriate, least “cringe” way possible.
That’s where our monthly Talk Toolbox sex ed subscription comes in.
Each month, our talkers get:
An age-appropriate book that helps introduce that month’s topic
A puzzle, game, or other learning activity you can do as a family!
Stickers or toys related to the topic of the month
… and more!
Sex ed for 8- to 10-year-olds isn’t for the faint of heart
Let's be honest:
Your child’s sex education at this age is going to be a little more advanced than talking about body parts or describing where babies come from.
With smartphones and tablets readily accessible, our kids are encountering sexually explicit materials, themes, and conversations at a very young age. It’s not a matter of if they’ll see porn — but when.
That’s why sex education for 8- to 10-year-olds is so vital. We want our children to have an understanding of their bodies, the reproductive process, and what real relationships look like.
Research shows that early exposure to pornography can have a detrimental effect on our children’s development. These range from unrealistic expectations of sex and relationships to a disregard for consent, an increase in sexually risky behaviors, and more.
The solution isn’t trying to block your child’s access to pornography (good luck with that). The solution is providing education that helps them process what they’re seeing, and creating a space where they can ask questions and share their experiences without shame.
a parent. Plus, you may not even have answers to half their questions. No, I don’t know where period blood comes from!???! Our sex ed was lacking, but theirs doesn’t have to be.
The important thing is that you create space to hold a conversation — and that you remain open to that conversation as it evolves day by day, week by week, month by month. That’s why we created our 8- to 10-year-old sex ed subscription box, to help cater to the realities of these conversations.
We also want to ensure you cover the real challenges that today’s kids face so your family can have open, honest conversations.
These conversations start earlier than you’d expect — and it’s easy to feel a little blindsided as

Trust in The Talk Toolbox
Here at The Talk Toolbox, we trust in science. We believe that even the most “stigmatized” and emotional conversations about sex, reproduction, identity, bodies, and relationships can be supported with non-biased, researched information.
All books, games, activities, and resources included in our boxes are vetted by our expert sex educator. We seek out resources that are not funded by political or religious institutions that support abstinence or “sexual risk prevention” curriculum.
Basically, we’re taking the B.S. out of sex ed. No more whispered terms for genitals, no more “We’ll talk about that when you’re older.” It’s time to be straight with our kids, in a science-based, developmentally appropriate way. That’s what our subscriptions do.
