My son is 1 and my daughter is still brewing so idk, but I will never lie or downplay any of the questions. I do want to have them knowing by like 8-9, especially my daughter because girls can get their periods around 8. Although most be older, the fact it can happen early, I need her to know early lol
From birth
My daughter started getting curious about different things one day She was 9 I just sat her down and explained where babies came from/ how they are formed, she was really grossed out but i was glad to get it over with 😂
My son is nearly 5, for a couple of years we’ve been answering questions and giving high level info about relationships, reproduction etc. He understands (or at least I think he does) that eggs live in a mummy’s tummy and grow into a baby, then either come out through the vagina (or by c-section since that’s how he was born). We’ve talked about different types of families as well.
I have a 14yr old a 12yr old and a 7yr old, i’ve always been open an honest about everything so when they saw my tampons explained why and what for in an age appropriate manner, when I was pregnant with my youngest the others were 8/7 so talked about sex and how someone becomes pregnant, just had the same chat with my 7yr old now as i’m pregnant again. If they have questions I answer honestly I don’t try and go into loads of detail unless they are old enough and it’s appropriate. I also gave the older two books about “what is happening to me” at age appropriate times, eldest started her periods at 10 and luckily had already had that big chat with her at 8 due to me being pregnant so she wasn’t surprised, upset or shocked.
