Kids are knowing and doing things so much faster than my generation.

I have a son is almost who was already asking me why girls look different from boys. I started telling him as broadly and none ivasive as possible. Lord, no answer was good enough for him to walk away. It was going to come down to the point where I was going to have to draw a the mechanics of S ex on a marker board. Now he is almost 7. I read a disturbing post about a girl not to much older than Tristan having Oral with a 11 year old boy. I was shocked. I talked to my Mom who is a Jr. High School teacher and she confirmed that kids are doing adult like things at a very early age. How and When do I talk to my kid straight out?

I would think 'always' would be a good start.

well, just pay attention to what is on TV...commercials and all, are very suggestive. All a child would have to do is be exposed to these messages and then when they get to school -

that is why so many people home school, I think, to try to slow things down a bit and some control over the input.

I remember during the whole Monica Lewinski thing parents were really upset because of what was being discussed on the news, during so-called family viewing time.

Yep. Start being honest and open from day one. He does not need to know positions, but when you avoid questions, they go elsewhere, or get pregnant, or get someone pregnant.

P.S. Why does my ISP say I'm from Ohio?
I want to hang my head in Wisconsin.
Any suggestions?

"Lay my head" not hang.

Cool, I like the one where it looks like the boy is picking his nose. LOL! My Mom gave me this covers all book with journal entries in it at age 10. I passed it down to my two younger sisters. I wish I could find it.
