I've been talking to my kids about how a baby comes into the world, how it grows, and how it is produced since they were two. We go over it a couple of times a year, each time adding more detail as they're ready to hear it.

My daughters have asked their father questions about menstruation. The kids have asked questions about conception at the dinner table. Whoever is asked, answers.

We have read books WITH the kids, and given them the books to read through on their own as well.


As progressive and wonderful as you are, you're still an asshole. So work on that because your kids will learn it from you.

The OP asked a question. Your response is obnoxious.


But it made her feel SO GOOD about herself to write that. (And I have a feeling the PP might need that for some reason.)


NP. And it's a badge of honor that your daughters are asking their dad questions about menstruation? Great, you're all gender liberated. But really, if you're getting into any kind of real logistics, better off going to someone who knows the drill.

I think it best if you read the book as a family. Read the book together and be prepared to answer questions. You might also check out some of these resources[/https://bit.ly/2Eb4ThT ] for guidance.

We recently had the discussion with our curious 6.5yo. I got It’s Not the Stork, and read it with her, explaining as we went. She got a very basic lesson on anatomy and sex.

My Mom read this to me when I was about 7 or 8 and I'm going to read it to my daughter when she's that age. There's also a photo showing the differences between male and female if the child is younger and unsure.
