The Talk Most Parents Get Wrong
A 12-minute lesson on the one conversation that shapes how your child sees
love, sexuality, and themselves — for the rest of their life.
If you've been waiting for the “right time” — this is it.
The average age of first pornography exposure is 9. Your kids are forming a worldview about love and their own bodies long before you think they are. This lesson walks you through what to say, when to say it, and the most common mistake faithful parents make — even when their hearts are in exactly the right place.
IN THIS 12-MINUTE LESSON
Why the “one big talk” approach almost always backfires — and what to do instead
The three things every child needs to hear from you before they hear it from anyone else
How to talk about sexuality without shame, fear, or awkwardness — even if your own upbringing was none of those things
The exact words to use when your child asks a question you weren't ready for
ABOUT THIS LESSON
This is a free sample from Restoring the Family.
Restoring the Family is an online formation program we're building at Road to Purity for Catholic parents who want to raise whole, holy children in a broken culture — without shame, without fear, and without leaving the hardest conversations to the world.
The full program covers seven phases — from the foundations of sexuality and healing for parents, to age-appropriate teaching for children, technology and media literacy, spiritual warfare, and an ongoing community of Catholic families walking the same road. It launches in late 2026.
We made this lesson available for free because we want you to see what we're building — and because the average parent is years late to this conversation. We don't want that to be you.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER
FEATURING
Nick Smitley
Catholic husband, father, producer, drummer, and founder of Vermillion Code Productions.
"When the head of the household returns to God, marriages strengthen, families heal, and generational legacies are rewritten."
Before his dramatic return to the faith, Nick built a name inside the Hollywood entertainment scene working as a producer connected to the Playboy Mansion, celebrity culture, and the music industry. His career placed him at the center of the very culture now threatening your family.
A powerful moment of conviction in 2011 changed everything. What followed was not an overnight transformation but a hard-fought return: rebuilding his marriage, reclaiming his role as a father, and surrendering his ambition to Christ.
Today Nick leads a faith-driven production company, works alongside Catholic ministries, and is committed to evangelizing through culture rather than retreating from it. His story is a raw and compelling witness to exactly what this night is about.
"I am grateful to have Road to Purity in my archdiocese. I gladly recommend Road to Purity and its resources."
Most Reverend Samuel J. Aquila, S.T.L. Archbishop Emeritus of Denver
