[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all those wondering how to explain it - do you explain what each vaccine your child gets is? Do you talk about diphtheria, pertussis, meningitis, etc.? Or does your child simply accept those as the routine vaccines you get at the doctor? If the later (which I think is the case for most kids), why do parents suddenly feel the need to talk about this one at more length? This feels like adult angst put into kids. (At least if you vaccinate at the recommended younger ages - maybe older teens are different…they certainly have a lot more say in what they do/don’t receive, or at least should.)[/quote]

I didn't explain because we get all vaccines and kids don't care why.

I don't read them the HIPAA privacy forms either.

Sex ed talk is separate.  Started in elementary years.  Boils down to "always use 2 bc methods until ready to be a parent"  and "anybody could have an STD".

Kids are welcome to ask whatever they want, read the brochure or whatever, but they just want to get the shot over with.[/quote]
