But they're still basically a globule of fat.<BR/><BR/>My family likes them too.<BR/><BR/>2. The later the better; at least wait until after bar mitzvah. But be very well prepared with a speech. My kids always thought that sleeping in proxi9mity with someone would result in becoming pregnant. One son came to me, at the age of 13 or so, and said that he had heard that people do what animals do, and he clearly didn't want to believe it; he was disgusted by the whole idea. I told him that eating is also disgusting; you open your mouth in public, you put food into your mouth and grind it into an unappetizing mush of food and saliva, and you swallow it. Yech. But if you have good manners, and eat in a civilized and calm way, with good manners, then eating is a very dignified and pleasant experience. Same thing with marital relations.<BR/><BR/>3. One other son mostly learned on the job after he got married (and he and his wife and their four children are doing just fine, thank you), and another knew more than me by the time he was ten.Eliezer Eisenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16036989084122930226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000861891157704972.post-28907865640966826332008-03-02T21:04:00.000-08:002008-03-02T21:04:00.000-08:00Yea yea...boys will find out themselvesYea yea...boys will find out themselvesJacob Da Jewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15181930948956094882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000861891157704972.post-56080690098962219502008-03-02T18:51:00.000-08:002008-03-02T18:51:00.000-08:00hints a little at a time...hints a little at a time...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000861891157704972.post-62602937443070696042008-02-14T21:03:00.000-08:002008-02-14T21:03:00.000-08:00hay its so nice to see you backhay its so nice to see you backAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000861891157704972.post-71908964813959224202008-02-13T21:51:00.000-08:002008-02-13T21:51:00.000-08:00My eldest had a great school nurse who spoke to th...My eldest had a great school nurse who spoke to the kids before I was ready, and then somehow everyone seemed to know before I was ready.<BR/>I guess I sound very pathetic.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000861891157704972.post-13309858004870563312008-02-06T16:34:00.000-08:002008-02-06T16:34:00.000-08:00I've given my daughter "The Speech".

But I ended up finding out about the real deal from my friends when i was about 16 anyway. But then it all boils down to the same issue: Would you rather they heard it from you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000861891157704972.post-4095066894777652142008-02-03T18:50:00.000-08:002008-02-03T18:50:00.000-08:00I say they need to know when they get curious, whe...I say they need to know when they get curious, when you know it's going to come up in some other context, or if a teacher is going to introduce the topic. <BR/><BR/>All issues regarding love, sex, intimacy should, imho, be heard first from a parent. If not, your child may learn something you don't approve of. Additionally, if you're not there when they first hear of these things, you won't necessarily know how to counter the questions when they come. <BR/><BR/>My guess is when a child is old enough to ask what really is happening at a bris and how that baby got there...then that's a good time for light talk on the subject. Every child and every parent is different. <BR/><BR/>If a parent is really uncomfortable, there are tons of good books out there. I'm not frum so this may not be ok by your standards but I had a book called, "How Babies are Made" when I was probabally 7 years old. It had great illustrations made of paper dolls and begins with how flowers reproduce, then to chickens, puppies, then humans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000861891157704972.post-89981907434565741172008-02-03T12:07:00.000-08:002008-02-03T12:07:00.000-08:00I think they pick more from the street than they l...I think they pick more from the street than they let on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000861891157704972.post-79125579227441283802008-01-28T13:40:00.000-08:002008-01-28T13:40:00.000-08:0040 sounds about right to me.
