He's almost nine. He's asking very very roundabout questions.
I'll leave it up to my husband of course. My own talk at age 8 was traumatic enough. If my father had given it I'd have dropped dead in shame.
But does anyone have any tips that I can pass on to hubby?
I'm thinking it would be best to give him a simple book and let him read it before asking whatever questions he wants to ask.
I remember my mother flooding me with info, and I pretty much shut down completely after a few choice words and didn't hear the rest anyway. My friend and I had to buy a copy of The Joy of Sex in our mid teens to clear things up.
