I just struggle with the appropriate age...not because they shouldn't know what they are, but because I'm afraid they will repeat them at school and get in trouble. So many things get kids in trouble that they really have to watch what they do and say. I don't want to use a word that is fine at home and gets them repremanded elsewhere. It's hard to know the right things to do when it comes to our kids. I guess we just need to follow our hearts and know that we are doing our best.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04181413166713933585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5692747981439301845.post-52040170940063871862009-10-04T03:06:42.263-04:002009-10-04T03:06:42.263-04:00Mark and I did our best to talk honestly with our ...Mark and I did our best to talk honestly with our boys - although at times we were really challenged when the hard questions came our way.<br /><br />I would like to give advice, as a mom. Make sure to talk in 'real terms' (we called them the red faced words) when you have a come back for your kid's crazy - throw you for a loop questions.<br /><br />Speaking from experience, rather than say bottom, when you mean vagina...just say the real word. Rarely have I found a 'red faced' word cause a stir from a child's innocent question. It's actually really being more straight forward with your kids too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01785476174076392927noreply@blogger.com
