My 10 year old is asking questions that I just don't know how to answer appropriately. I have searched the net for sex education for children but cannot seem to find any good resources, only news articles etc. Does anyone know of a good resource that I can print off for my son?

Hi Sabrina

This was a tricky one when my daughter was 11. I consulted my local library and they had oodles of information.

Good luck

the best you can do is be open and honest
you will know what your 10 year old can handle
by the questions they ask
I found over the years talking to my kids one on one to them about it was easyer
The truth is always the best......... plus good safe health

Thanks Dee

I am far from a library and without any means to transport, hence wanting to use the internet as my resource.

I would love to use a library in this situation

Thanks Muffy

You see, my son doesn't want to talk to me much, says he is too shy. No matter that I have consoled him to the fact that I understand. It is even worse with his father (who is probably not the best candidate in this instance anyway). He says he would prefer reading material to read in his own time.

But yes, I will always be truthful and base my answers, however few, on good morals and as you say, on being honest and open with him.
