[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We started fairly early with the Robie Harris series of books. They progressively get more detailed and older-age appropriate. We started with Its Not the Stork at about age 9. Then, It's so Amazing at about age 11 and It's perfectly normal at age 12. I highly recommend the book series and reading it with your kid. You can explain things and see if they have questions.[/quote]

These are the books we used. I read the book one-on-one with my kid and then answered any questions they may have had. Then they could re-read it (or not) as they choose. Over time they would come back to me with questions or observations. I love that they know they can ask me questions, no matter how silly or “gross” and that I’ll tell them the truth.

I did not want to wait until they asked about sex. I wanted them to have age appropriate but correct information about their body before they got incorrect information elsewhere. And even with the correct information, they come back to me with some crazy ideas! [/quote]
