About the Author
When Amy Lang became a parent she assumed she would be amazing at the sex talks because she had been a sexual health educator for over 16 years. She was not. At all. Surprised by her discomfort she began to seek out the best ways to talk with kids about this important part of life. While researching this topic she realized she could combine her love of sexual health and master's degree in adult education and help other parents tackle this important part of parenting. In 2006 she started her company Birds & Bees & Kids. With her lively, engaging and down-to-earth style she helps parents become their kid's go-to birds and bees source. Amy's books, Birds & Bees Solutions Center and podcast, Just Say This, show parents the sex talks don't need to be an ordeal and can become a fun and rewarding part of parenting. She also provides childhood sexual development and sexual abuse prevention training for early childhood and youth serving organizations, such as the US Air Force Youth and Family services and Boys & Girls clubs. Amy is still married to her first husband and they are getting the hang of parenting their recently launched man-child. She lives in Seattle WA and you can learn more about her work at BirdsAndBeesAndKids.com or BBKpros.com
