"Impressively informative and 'real world practical' in scope, organization and presentation, "Read Me: A Parental Primer for "The Talk" is an ideal, effective, and thoroughly 'user friendly' instruction guide and manual for parent-child discussions about sex and human relationships appropriate to every age of childhood."
Midwest Book Review
August 2019
"“... Dr. Lanae presents a path for parents to follow her sage advice, resulting in smarter, healthier and sexually (and emotionally) sophisticated adults from homes that thrive in sexual openness, accurate information and holistic wellness. <...> I highly recommend this book as a necessary ingredient for raising happy, healthy children of all ages.”"

"The author challenges readers to think about sex and relationships from multiple perspectives and is thoughtful in sharing anecdotes, research and specific suggestions. This really is a "train-the-trainer" approach and I'm certain that it will help parents at all stages reframe the way we approach "the talk". Sex can be an awkward topic and this text can help to increase your knowledge, comfort and confidence when it comes to talking (and listening) to your kids. "

"As a Clinical Sexologist I am always in search of current materials to help parents, therapists and teachers develop a broader vocabulary for discussing our bodies, desires, relationships, intimacy and sex with kids of all ages. Having an honest and trusted adult who they can get up to date and non biased information from is critical. I love how Dr. St. John emphasizes this is always best if the parent can provide that for their children while developing a safe place to get their most difficult questions answered without judgment or shame. Dr. St. John provides a clear, step by step and age appropriate path for these conversations. [...]"
