I am mostly guided by DS as to what he is interested in knowing. He knows how babies come out (both vaginally and c/section). He has seen animals mating (but hasn't yet twigged what humans may do). He understands periods and knows what tampons are, and what tampon bins are for, and he knows the proper names for the body parts. So that is about what we are up to. He is 5. I am guessing he will ask more when he is interested in more and I will just try and answer honestly.
Gigi I think you've had some great advice! I try to answer with simple facts and then ask if there are any more questions. We try to reinforce that the girls ask us too if there is anything else. DD1 is very inquisitive and rarely lets things slide without a barrage of further questioning. I am trying really hard not to let my hang ups spread too as we never talked about any of this. She then likes to share with everyone else lol. That is where is gets interesting....... Good luck, just remember you want to encourage trust and open communication with Bilby! xxxx
