Giving your child information about sex and sexuality is like throwing coats at a slowly growing coat rack. When you start out the coat rack only has a few hooks. As it grows more and more hooks appear. This is the way your child’s brain, and understanding develop. They ask a question about babies, sexuality, or their body etc. and you give them information (throw a coat). You are not sure the coat will actually hang, but you give them the information anyway.
By giving children accurate information you show them that you are not afraid of the topic at hand. You show them that you can handle it, and that any subject is open to communication. Even if the coat hook they need to retain the information has not formed yet remember that it might tomorrow or the next day, and if you don’t try to give them the coat, some day when they need the information the most they will freeze for last of a proper coat!

Remember that you are amazing and worth loving, keep tackling the tough stuff and remember that it will pay off ten fold in great communication as they grow!
