[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 286226, member: 7371"] I talked a lot with the boys about puberty & sex from a very early age. easy child always had lots of questions and was very open to discussion. difficult child always felt a little uncomfortable, but here's my trick: we would talk in the car. That seemed to work with him because he didn't have to make eye contact with me. :winking: We all talked about the movies they saw in school (which I always previewed on parent nights), and they laughed to hear that those films have [I]always[/I] been awful. I provided the moral context that the public schools don't -- the lessons were pretty much all about the biology. I'm glad we started our discussions early, because both boys are a little more reluctant to talk about those things as they get older. Even so, they'll still talk because it's not a new topic for us.
