Have you spoken to your child about the birds and the bees yet? At what age do you think appropriate to talk about such matters? Or will you leave it up to the school to educate your child? What are your thoughts on this matter.

I had that talk when my kids were abot 8 and 10.There is a book called "where do babies come from" it's easy for the kids to understand.Of course there were a feww giggles and ewwwww Mum!!but they understood and know if they have any questions I will do my best to answer them.

hi ausnik, I have spoken to my son (now 12) about the basics, feel thats the right thing to do a parent, but unfortunately there are alot of parents who ignore this topic altogther making it a taboo subject.

That's true,and these days the kids need to be more aware.There are so many diseases they need to know about.You can't be too careful!
