[quote=Anonymous]I have a 7 year old and almost 12 year old. I answer questions openly as they come up and the older daughter is really into animals and documentaries so mating had actually opened the door to other discussions.

With my 7 year old I haven’t said too much yet because I don’t trust her not to tell everyone else what she’s learned - and think that should be up to families to decide - but I will get her books soon. I’d just been thinking it was about time. When she has asked me how babies are made so far it’s “there is something from the man, called sperm, and the woman, called an egg, and they grow to make a baby.” Her follow up question was how her friend, who has two moms, grew her friend. And I said “your friend grew from an egg and sperm but I don’t know the details of which egg or where the sperm came from”. I’ve also talked to her about periods in a vague way when she asked what my tampons were for, whereas the almost 12 year old had known details for a few years. [/quote]
