Thanks for explaining that more thoroughly Hoobley

I agree with you Hoobley... In fact that was pretty much what I was going to say.

We've already got a 'reproduction education' book for Jazz, aimed at very young kids. And one about relationships, all flavours, and good (loving) and bad (violent) relationships. It has to all be age appropriate obviously, but I think the educationshould start when kids ask.

When DD's sexual self awakes i'd rather her education in that area was complete, not 3 years off beginning! It's like trying to teach them the green cross code when they're already standing in the middle of the road at rush hour!

100% agree. thats a great way to put it!

I personally tinkg 5-6 is a little young but it depends on what they are teaching at that age kwim?

For me I think it should start in year 5 in Pimary school.. We have started talking to our 9 yr about things.. and he has a couple books.. He and his friends talk about all sorts of things so it was time to set the record straight..
