[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am SO glad they are covering these things. I have repeatedly tried to talk to my 5th grader about this stuff, got books from the library… and I’m getting a hard pass at every try. Really glad they’ll be forced to listen at school. :)[/quote]

Why are you getting a hard pass??[/quote]

Apparently you were never 10. Most kids don’t want to talk to their parents about that stuff. And spare me your upcoming sanctimonious “I raised my child to feel comfortable to talk to me about whatever” nonsense we all know is coming. [/quote]

Thank you, PP.

Exactly this.  My 10 yo will talk to me about all kinds of hard stuff and we have a great relationship.  But I bring up the puberty talk and it's like I am force-feeding her moldy spinach.[/quote]

Then maybe what you need to do is ask the kid what they are afraid of talking about and why?  Or find other ways to have these important conversations.  Also maybe its because its “THE puberty talk” instead of a host of conversations over time like any other conversation.[/quote]
