[quote=Anonymous]sex and reproduction -- we talked about everything, all the time. Whenever kids asked, they got the explanation to their questions. If they weren't really ready for that part of the discussion, it just went right over their heads. Used correct terms for body parts including genitals (but "womb" for uterus.) Santa -- we did have Santa in our house, but I never told the kids Santa existed. Didn't tell them to go to bed so Santa could come or be good or Santa wouldn't leave presents. They learned about Santa from TV and nursery school. They asked me if Santa would come to our house and I'd say "Hmmm, I wonder?? Let's see...!" That kind of thing. Presents just showed up on Christmas morning. Kids decided Santa must have left them, but we parents weren't the ones telling them the story was true. So when they got older, and asked if Santa would leave them presents this year, it was a moment of saying, "hmmmmm?" with a wink instead of telling them the truth and that we had been telling them a story all those years!
