My 10 yr old DS is quite a young 10 and has never really asked many questions and I have sort of been waiting for him to take the lead if I am honest! So far he has not mentioned anything that has been said in the playground, gets a bit embarrassed if anyone teases about having a friend who is a girl (which I always say is silly, it's lovely to have friends who are both boys and girls etc) However I would rather he hears factual information from us when he is ready, rather than half truths from others. I have bought a lovely book (one of those 'what's happening to me?' types) but it still seems a bit grown up for him, especially given that he has not asked yet. I have always said if there is anything he wants to ask there is no need to be worried etc so is it ok to leave it for a while longer and be led by him? Or am I just being a bit cowardly?!
