Why Even "Open" Parents Need Supplemental Sex Education Resources for Their Kids

Apr 14, 2025

As parents, we all want to make sure our kids are informed and ready for the world. We want them to have the knowledge and skills to navigate relationships, bodies, and puberty with confidence. For many parents, this means having open conversations about sex early on. And if you're one of those parents who have been discussing sex with your kids for years, you might feel like you've covered all the important topics. You’ve given them the basics, right?

But here's the thing: Even the most open, well-meaning parents can miss critical pieces of the puzzle when it comes to sex education.

It’s easy to assume that because we’ve had a few conversations, our kids must understand everything they need to know. After all, you’ve talked about the “birds and the bees,” you’ve touched on puberty, and you’ve explained things in your own way. But the truth is, there’s a lot more to it. And even if you’ve been the most open parent, your child may still be missing some key information.

The Shocking Reality: What Your Kids May Not Understand

It’s not uncommon for parents to be surprised when they sit down with our Clarify Sex Education lessons and realize just how much their child didn’t fully understand—or worse, how many things were missed in past conversations.

Here’s why this happens: Sex education isn’t just about talking about the big topics. It’s about breaking down information in ways that make it comprehensive, accurate, and understandable. When we have conversations about sex, we often focus on the parts we’re most comfortable with or what we think is the most urgent (like puberty, pregnancy, or body changes). But there’s so much more to it!

Kids need to know about:

  • Healthy relationships and boundaries

  • Consent and respect

  • Emotional and physical changes

  • Media literacy and understanding the messages they receive from TV, social media, and peers

  • How their bodies work beyond just the basics

You may have talked about these things before, but if the information wasn't comprehensive and clear, there’s a chance your child missed the full picture.

Why It’s So Easy to Miss Key Information

Even with the best intentions, it’s tough to cover all aspects of sex education. Conversations might happen during casual moments, or you might be piecing information together from various sources. Sometimes, we don't even realize when we’ve missed important details. It’s also easy to assume that your child fully understands a concept because they nod along or seem to “get it.”

But in reality, kids often have gaps in their knowledge that aren’t obvious until you sit down and really focus on the details. Many parents are shocked when they see the holes in their child’s understanding once they’ve been through a more structured program.

The Clarify Sex Education program is designed to fill those gaps by providing foundational, science-based information that parents can use as a tool to guide discussions. The lessons help break things down in ways that are accessible, practical, and meaningful for kids, covering everything from puberty to relationships to body image and more.

Why Supplemental Resources Are Crucial

You might think, “I’ve covered the basics—why do I need more resources?” But the truth is, supplemental resources are key to making sure your child has a full understanding of their body, sexuality, and relationships.

By using a structured program like Clarify, you ensure that no important topic is left out. Clarify provides a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to sex education that aligns with your family’s values and allows you to dive deep into topics without missing anything important. It’s not about replacing the conversations you’ve had with your child; it’s about building on them and giving your child the complete picture.

What You Can Expect with Clarify Sex Education

When you use the Clarify Sex Education program, you’ll see just how much more your child can learn. The program is designed with both parents and kids in mind. You’ll receive:

  • Video lessons that cover the essentials—everything from puberty and anatomy to relationships, consent, and emotional health.

  • Science-based information to ensure your child is getting the most up-to-date, accurate knowledge, empowering them to make healthy decisions based on facts, not fear or shame.

And the best part? You’re in control. The program helps guide your discussions, but it’s still entirely up to you how to introduce these topics and align them with your family’s values.
