I have a 10 year old boy and an 8 year old girl. As a child I had to learn the facts of life from my great grandmother b/c she saw the signs of change in me and couldn't convince my mother to talk to me. So thankfully, she talked to me when I was 8 and I got my first period before my 9th birthday (and before my mother ever approached me with the subject). I don't want it do be like that for my children. I want the facts to come from their father and I. Also, how much to you tell a boy, since they will not have to go through as much as a girl does. And also, take into consideration that we are all under the same roof, therefore at some point my son will see and know the changes happening in his sister.
Serious responses, thoughts, and opinions only please! I am struggling with what, when, and how much to tell them.
Thanks! And God Bless!
