i had a stake pres that told me once that by the 8th birthday there should be an open dialog on the subject. my 7 yr old came home not that long ago asking questions about sex due to things he heard from friends at school so we were kinda thrown into it. but i had been thinking a lot about it and knew where i wanted to start and how i wanted to approach it. i'm giving it in relevant pieces. i talked to the other parents of the kids involved and i was the only one not freaking out about the whole thing. think it through very well ahead of time and you will be prepared for anything. then go with it. i'm one that believes you should keep that open dialog with kids on that subject cause i can promise you the world will and i want my voice to be one they consider when making decisions. oh and i am one that believes boys should know about the development of girls and girls about boys. it's sad when you hear of men getting married and don't know exactly what a menstrual cycle is.
