Title says it all really . My Mum adopted the ostrich approach of ignoring it all until school had dealt with it at 13, then sidling up and saying "So you know all about it now, do you - Good" before scarpering quickly. Didn't fill me with confidence exactly, rather a huge feeling of embarassment about the whole topic.
I want to have a slightly more "you can ask me anything" type conversation - but don't know where to start. I'm tempted to start with a few books, Babette Cole etc etc, but didn't want to dump the books, say "Oh good, you've read the books, so now you know all about it" and run - the educated ostrich approach.
DD1 is rising 9, which I appreciate is a bit young, but apparently some girls do start as young as that, and I wanted it all to be very old hat by the time she actually needs the info.
