I don't remember having "the talk" with my parents. Sex Ed in my school was in the 6th grade if I remember right. I do remember my dad telling me a few times to wait until I was married before having sex. I wasn't a member of the Church then, so I wasn't really taught why I should wait or why staying chaste is so important. Now that I have learned those things, that is what I want to emphasize the most. It's a good idea to prepare how you will discuss the physical parts of sex or conception, but don't write a script. Keep it conversational and natural. That way the discussion isn't (any more) awkward for you or your child.
