how do i tell the facts of life to my son?

Answer 1

try to communicate as much as possible

Answer 2

Be as honest and basic as you can. It all depends on how young he is. They are teaching sex ed in schools from a very early age now, and if you make up answers, he may not come to you for his next question. Also, children do not get embarrassed. It is normally from around 10 upwards where they may find it amusing or too embarrassing to actually listen to what you are saying. The earlier the better, but plain and simple.

Answer 3

depends on how old he is, today they have classes at school called human biology, if your child comes to you with a question then you should tell him what he wants to know, some kids already know the facts of life just by being around other kids, kids do talk about stuff like that, it's just that us parents don't hear it or see it, he will ask when he wants to know something, but education at school is the way to go at this point

Answer 4

well if its ur son, get his dad to do it. same for daughters and mothers. it just works better. depending on his age u will have to decide what's neccesary for him to know. i dunno if books r too good cause when ur talking about life, love, relationships and decisions, its better for the advice to come from the person him of herself. dont just walk up to ur son and dump a load of infromation on him, try slowly talking to him bout casual stuff once in a while, be in between commercial breaks or before he goes to bed, become his friend first, then slowly u can start telling him little things that u think he should know. speak from the heart and if possible, give examples. this will make it easier for him to relate to. just make sure he knows ur doing this cuz ur looking out for him, and ull be fine. hope the advice helped :) gdluck.

Answer 5

Depending on age.
Simple answers at first, nothing overwhelming.
Only answer questions that your child has asked, never give to much information, they will come back for more answers in time.
As they grow older the questions will change and your answers will become detailed
Hope this helps.

Answer 6

when you've got an answer tell me wondering the same about my 10 year old son

Answer 7

I think if you can answer his questions honestly that is enough. Don't overload him with information. If you want him to have some information because you have notice a particular behaviour just say to him... "I've noticed that you ..... Is there anything you would like to know or talk about"

Answer 8

the best way is to get an illustrated book (obviously one for his age group) and talk to him openly about it.

say things like when your ready, if you love some one, always be careful.

My mom always kept it light hearted and always told me if i was too embarrassed about buying protection, then she would leave it in the bathroom and i could use it. But because she made it seem so normal when i was younger i told her that if i was ready to have sex then i was ready to go and buy it.

The point is it's important to let him know that if he wants to talk about any aspect about it then he knows he can come to you and ask for advice.

That way when his older he'll be more responsible and mature about it.

Good Luck.
