Cindy is honest and open and advises us parents to be the same with our kids - clear communication means we maintain an honest dialogue when they want information but also when they are uncomfortable with something that they have seen or been shown
MakeLoveNotPorn Academy is an aggregator hub for the best of the world's sex education content all in one place, searchable by age appropriateness. It will launch before the end of 2025 and will help parents all over the world.

Families navigating serious childhood illness often say they feel invisible. While there is some excellent parenting and mental health content available, much of it doesn't quite fit the realities of hospital admissions, medical uncertainty, repeated procedures, or the unique challenges of supporting well siblings. It can be an incredibly isolating experience. Dr. Katherine Nunn (aka @drkatherinewrites) is a Senior NHS Clinical Psychologist, Co-Director of Clinical Psychology Collective, and the parent of a child with congenital heart disease. Her clinical and lived experience has led Katherine to develop a particular interest in the psychological impact of serious childhood illness on the whole family, especially the often-overlooked experiences of parents and well siblings.
