Not sure if this is really in the right topic, but need advice please! At what age did you explain the facts of life to your DCs and what did you say? Are there any good books to help explain things? My DS1 is 6.5 and although he knows that babies come from mummy's tummy and that other animals like fish, birds and reptiles lay eggs, I don't think he really knows HOW they get to be there in the first place!! I have never tried to hide anything from him, it has just never come up. However, there are quite a few boys in his class with older brothers and sisters who are beginning to make comments that show they are obviously more aware than DS! I'd like to give him the clear facts before any of his friends do!!
