Hi Cath….what a great article. I am an 81 year old grampy with 3 teenage female grandchildren….17 to 15 years of age. Here in North America, our sex ed programs are dismal.We are slightly better off than our friends south of us, BUT ,way behind the europeans. In my discussion with my grand daughters and their parents , it is obvious that the very basics are covered, but the nitty gritty is still taboo. What a shame, The link below is to a wonderful Norwegian series. There are 8 modules and links to others. In my mind, this is the best sex ed I have ever heard about. The Dutch have an almost as good series as well. If only we had had this kind of info and open mindness back in the 50’s ! Imagine showing a penis or a vulva, and horror of horrors, a clitoris. Hell, we didn’t know what it was much less where it was.
Too much info….don’t think so. If a mom and dad could sit with their kid and watch, and discuss, we would have fewer messed up kids……and adults. Just a thought. I really enjoy this web site. Congratulations…..David G

I have a 10 year old boy and have not touched that subject, but I know that I have to do that anytime soon. My son seems to not have interest/know about sex as he still plays with his toys What I would like to know is who should be a better fit to do this talk, mom or dad, or both?

Thanks Cath for the great article! My 6yo daughter has started asking questions and I was absolutely unprepared and lost for answers … my first reaction was panick and asked mum if she still had a copy of ‘where did I come from’ ??
Finding this article has helped me regroup and know I can talk with facts and confidence to help her understand. I’ve joined your list too ?

Nice article. Quick comment. The article states that fertility begins when girls start having their periods. But, in fact, we know that a girl can get pregnant before her first period, since the egg drops before the period begins. I’ve always thought that to be a pretty important detail.
