SRHEd · Parent & Carer Guidance Series
How to Talk to Your Young Person About Sex
A values-based, practical guide for Muslim parents and carers — free to download.
By Dr. Muti’ah Badru MRCOG · Obstetrician-Gynaecologist and Founder of SRHEd
“Sex education is not shameful — it is, like sex itself, sacred within the right context.”
About this guide
Many of us were never taught how to have these conversations. That discomfort is real — and it is also temporary. Your child’s need for guidance is ongoing.
This free guide gives Muslim parents and carers a practical, faith-aligned framework for talking to children about sex and bodies — at every age, in language your family can trust.
Inside the guide
- An age-by-age framework — from under 7 to 13 and beyond
- Practical phrases you can use in real conversations
- How to talk about the digital world and pornography in a way that goes beyond “this is haram”
- Approaches to avoid — and why silence creates distance, not protection
- A faith-rooted closing du’a for parents carrying this responsibility
If your child is confused about sex, relationships, or their body — who do you want them to turn to? Your goal is not perfection. Your goal is to be approachable, trustworthy, and present.
