Faced that talk 4 times in my life....And found it a very easy subject to handle...Thought long and hard about any questions my kids had...Deliberated the pro's and con's....Weighed up the whole situation...And came up with a one line answer................

"ASK YOUR MUM".............

She was after all a nurse.....And used to dealing with awkward questions re folks fiddly bits.....

On the advice of a friend, bought a very good book from Waterstones, giving all the basics, suitable for them at around age 9. Asked them to read the book (they were having sex ed at school at the time anyway) and if they had any questions, they should ask me.   They never did - I think between the school and the book, it covered all the bases.

When I was pregnant the midwife gave me a book; very comprehensive (in case I hadn't worked out what had caused it), lots of diagrams and photos, going from conception to post-birth. If I had read it when I was 13 I would have entered a closed Order.

Gave it to my kids and told them to ask me if they had any questions. They didn't, and no teenage pregnancies either!

Answer the question that they ask, not the one you think they should have asked. Keep the information simple and dont go off at a tangent. It will confuse them.

Oh dear.... I feel your pain!!

My youngest came running out the playground on Wednesday to roar from the tops of his lungs "mum... We were talking about men and women's private parts today in school"..... At this point sniffing salts were needed. He is only seven... Then again, as loud as he could he shouted "men have a penis and women are different, they have a fagina"..... His exact words.. Kids....


Hahaha.........does youngest know what mummy does one day a week and what she carries in the boot of her car ?

My mum had to sign a form to confirm I was allowed to take part in the lesson we had on sex ed. When I got home on the day she asked me to explain everything I was taught in the lesson so she could make sure they didn't miss anything. My little brother, aged 6-7 at the time was stood behind the door earwigging the whole time!

When it came to my eldest lad we got a book titled Mummy Laid an Egg.
This explains it in a very humorous way with cartoon drawings.Even tactful (and very funny)drawings including mummy and daddy using a space hopper to spice things up a bit.
The funniest part about that is his space hopper had actually gone missing a few days before so lord only knows what he thought.

There's nowt wrong with using a space hopper. But I do think those that use an airbed are a bit weird.

We had that book (okay, a similar one) for our kids. It explained stuff about bodies, feelings and relationships. I duly left it about at strategic points in their growing-up years and urged our kids to take a look and feel free to come talk to me about anything they wanted to.

They never did come and talk to me. They flipped through it (though some refused to, or at least while I was about), and informed me they already knew that stuff, and I was an embarrassment!

They do get a rather good 'growing up talk' in Year 6. I've had to sit in a few of these and they really are quite informative! All joking apart, our school nurse does ours and she's very good, helps them get over all the embarrassed giggles and embarassment.
