I have found that the biggest thing is being open and honest. Sometimes kids might want a simple answer to a simple question, other times they might want more information. I have been very matter of fact with the girls, no sillyness, no embarrassment...and they really are pretty great with it all. Some times we have had to expand and correct information that has been given to them by their friends, its amazing the sorts of stories that float around. I got no information at all from my mum, so i vowed to always try and be more approachable to my kids, i think its one of the greatest gifts we can give them.
