    It's hard for me to imagine a parent not telling a daughter about menstruation! I mean, I am almost 60 years old and as I said before, my parents were super open.
    Both of my kids asked the questions when they were 5 or 6. I went to the library and got a book that came with an accompanying video. It was hysterical, showing a cartoon version of the parents in the bed, with the bed moving. Not graphic, but to the point. After reading the book with the kids and watching the video (DH watched the video with us, too), they pretty much knew everything. When my oldest was 7, he asked me about abortion. Not to get into a controversial subject, but I was not sure how to explain this. Mind you, he was reading middle school books at this point and was very socially precocious. So, again, I went to the library, got a book that was for middle schoolers, and read a small part of it with him. He asked questions, and I gave short, factual answers. He never asked me again, but I knew he understood.
    The next hard question I got asked was "how old should you be to have sex?" I think he was about 15. As I was thinking of what kind of realistic and not hypocritical answer I should give, he said, "Like when you go to college?" This was pretty much what I was going to say, so I was glad I held my tongue. My job was done!

    Sex ed - my mother handed me a book written by Ann Landers about sex. Didn't know that holding hands was a "gateway action" to intercourse, did you?
