Honesty is the best policy (in my humble opinion). Kids will ask when they are ready and they will let you know when you are telling too much. I tend to be very open so when I start blabbing too much I've noticed the kids change the subject and I take that as a cue to be quiet and wait til the next opportunity. Oh and the car is a very common place for these kind of conversations to happen. You've got to take them when you can get them. It's so much easier when your kid brings up the subject. They are much more open to listening. Good luck! Keep up the good mommy work. You are doing a fabulous job. I think you did just great. Honesty is the best policy (in my humble opinion).

When it came up, I told Sean that God made the boys "parts" to be on the outside and the girl's to be on the inside. He stopped what he was doing and said in disbelief, "Are you KIDDING me?!" I decided I'd rather give him little bits of information all along and hopes that it eventually adds up than be faced with THE BIG TALK. We are starting to have these conversations at our house.

Lord knows I never talked about that stuff. I don't even remember any of you kids asking, to be truthful, and I'm so glad because talk about scarring! In my day we didn't discuss those things. I'm so glad things have changed. Were you glad you had to focus on driving and not look her in the face? :-0 Keep up the good work. Doodle is an awesome girl and you guys are doing a great job.

She asked such insightful questions. The way you told it to me it was obvious she was considering the information you gave her and was trying to comprehend the subject. She is such a bright child! Had it not been for the fact that I saw her delivered, I would think she was adopted. You are an awesome mommy and a wonderful wife. Love you lots! We'll talk to her more about this subject before the school gets anywhere close to her. I don't want the school teaching my child about this subject. Lord knows they've already failed on all the others. I think you did a great job explaining it and I’m very thankful that it wasn’t me having the conversation with her!
