What would be useful for your family right now?
Choose the situation that fits best. Each page gives you practical words to use, age-appropriate guidance, and one or more TALK Tools that can help.
You do not need a perfect speech. Start with the conversation in front of you.
Select the topic that is closest to the question, situation, or conversation in front of you.
For unexpected exposure, continued looking, returning to content, or repeated patterns.
For receiving, requesting, sending, sharing, pressure, threats, or AI-generated intimate images.
For questions about body parts, puberty, development, privacy, body changes, and where babies come from.
For questions about gender, identity, pronouns, expression, or something your child noticed or heard.
For liking someone, dating, affection, physical boundaries, or questions about healthy relationships.
For unwanted touch, hugs or kisses, consent, personal boundaries, and respecting someone else’s boundary.
For when you do not know how to start, your child will not talk, you are afraid of saying the wrong thing, or you are unsure which TALK Tool to use.
Ask Granny.
Tell Granny what happened, how old your child is, and what would be useful for your family right now. Granny can help identify the situation and route you to the most useful Talk First Family® resource.
Families do not need perfect conversations or immediate answers. A short, calm exchange can keep the door open for the next conversation.
Relationship Before Content. Connection Before Correction. Curiosity Before Conclusion. Influence Over Control.
Pause ✶ — Something caught your attention. Notice it. Do nothing yet.
Then use one or more TALK Tools, in any order: 👀 Take a Look, ❓ Ask if It’s Okay, 💬 Learn Your Why, and 👉 Know What to Do.
