We Went the Book Route

But the big mistake was having me give it to him. He was mortified. So with second son, Dad did it. We also made sure to tell them that anything they wanted to talk about was not off limits, we would not be mad or embarassed, etc.
The book (I think it's called It's Perfectly Normal) it very comprehensive, and they didn't have questions, but at least they got correct information.

Now, DS 15 has a pretty serious girlfriend, so the talks are much more serious. We can be silly about it too, and his most common response is "I KNOW!" But we remind him anyway... hee hee!

DDalmost7 is going to need the period talk soon, even though she has never asked about it. I remember a brief, to the point, answering of commerial-related questions with the boys. Nowhere near enough comprehensive for a girl though...Any advice?
