I dreaded this day..Never been nervous about anything more than this..whew..Have been planning(thinking really) on this for a few years! 2 Things that made it difficult to open the topic was 1) The correct time for his age 2) I didn't have the experience with my Dad
So For all prospective dad-gearing-up-for-this-speech,here goes..First find out if the school has done any talking about ,videos etc..Depending on the school this usually starts around the 4th grade..Then start by observing if your son is ready for it..Some visual clues included Vinay turning away from the TV when couples are kissing ..closing his eyes and making a UGHHH !!
Second talking about relationships from school,like asking/talking about girls, girlfriends/boyfriend type things, girls whom he talks about(hates usually)
I didn't choose the day to sit him down..but the situation arose when he was squirming about a female hygenic product and was getting that confused with an adult diaper..Voila.. got my opening to intervene..as "some" knowledge is dangerous..
Nags Basically slipped out of the room..not for his sake..but she was too shy and coy about the "Talk".
The 15 minute ended with Vinay admitting "Can I go sleep now..I have been grossed out enough for 1 day"
