Ds1 is nearly 4.5 and I think the time has come to start to talk to him about the less pleasant side of life - good and bad touching, when to tell, stranger danger etc. Probably should have started already but I really hate the idea that we need to do this (but of course we do).
My questions are- where do I start, what should I cover (don't want to freak him out or scare him badly - he thinks the world is a great and exciting place and I want to keep it that way)? Also, do I sit him down for a serious talk, or drip feed the information, or a bit of both?
If anyone has done this and can give any ideas I would be really grateful.
