Children who are comfortable identifying and understanding their "private" body parts are FAR less likely to be sexually abused...pedophiles like kids who are afraid to talk...
Children who are comfortable understanding their sexuality are FAR less likely to experience teen pregnancy and STD's...with education comes enlightenment...
The problem most parents have approaching sensitive topics is that they provide more information than the child wants. If your child asks "Where do babies come from???" parents tend to start a one hour lecture. If you answer simply, such as "from a mother's womb" and leave it at that, your child will either be satisfied and walk away, or will ask another question, which you can then answer just as simply.
Always answer truthfully, always answer directly, and always use correct terminology. If you do not know an answer, admit it, and let your child know you will find out, so that you can both learn. Your child will appreciate your honesty, and will learn as much from your matter-of-fact attitude as from the material presented!
Protect your children from being victims...educate!

pending on the age... yes it will be a bit akward and difficult. Children are more knowledgable than you think they are and its wise to talk to them now before its too late and something suprising happens. I sat down with my son and drew pictures about where babies came from he asked. I told him when a man and a woman loves each other they express their love through love making otherwise known as sex. Tell them that it can be a beautiful and wonderful thing when they choose the right partner and WAIT until the time is right. Dont make it sound shameful. Make sure you discuss the dangers and issues wth catching certain diseases that can be caught with sex... keep it basic like hiv and aids and sexually transmitted diseases. and tell them what can happen if they have sex with someone who has it and dont even know it. Teach about condoms and dont be afraid to draw pics.. Really. Then My husband talked to him alone as well and went over it again to make sure he understood. you will definately have their attention. Its better for them to know than to not to know. Granted you may feel akward at first but when he or she ask questions you will become comfortable. Trust me. Good luck!!

do not be. sensitive issues are what matters the most, and the sooner they grasp it, the better their outlook on it will be. say sex, you can't just say that babies came from stroks and droped on the stoop. please. take it one at a time, start with pictures to help you explain. when you were young then your teenage years, explain the changes you went thru, then alas when you were an adult and what your body could do. it is better to do it this way, than have them looking at pictures thru magazines or the internet which are probably full of malice and offensive words. trust me. my mom this this, without the pictures though. lol.
and about death too. tell them that their pet fish died because its vital organs do not function anymore and its heart stopped beating already. do not tell them about fish heaven where they get to rest. this heaven may be the truth but who knows that? so we better stick to the things that we can explain now, not the time we've went thru death and knew what is was and if theres anything more to it than we knew .............if we ever will.

Don't be afraid...just open up and tell your experience if you can or what your beliefs are. This makes you vulnerable and the child can see that you are a person also and not just a parent. Remember, If you don't ,,,, someone at school or a friend will.

This is where your job kicks in, you are a parent, obviously if these situations arise they need to be dealt with, so remember that you ARE the parent and these are all things your child would be better off hearing and learning from you.

Thats humorous and elementary, merely say " whats up I heard you 2 guffawing blah balh blah final nighttime " and depart it at that. she would be able to think of aboutit and comprehend you have been wakeful. If it makes you uncomfortable then the subsequent time your listening to them fool around, attempt to fart or make a fart noise. no longer something is extra distracting then a fart. which will lead them to ponder whether you're wakeful or burst out guffawing or merely as uncomfortable as you're. the two way a superb fart will remedy your problems :)

My mother was sensative as well. She never talked to me about sex and when I was 13 I became a dad.
