My kids are out of that stage… phew... but me and late hubby educated them about drugs pedophiles, and all kind of bad stuff starting from the age of 3 yrs old, not to stop them from experimenting, but to let them have an educated background instead of just bowing to peer pressure and trying something that someone else says its harmless.
I was always worried about my kids and drugs, from a health perspective, I know for a fact it can cause all kind of reality distortion and induce some psychological disorders.
However other stuff, like porn on the net etc, I wasn't too bothered about, I knew they’ll learn about it sooner or later, so may as well learn from us.
Surprisingly enough it was the sex education i found the hardest to deal with. I wasn't given any when I was growing up. First time I knew what sex was I was doing it, it was all a bit of a surprise. So anyway initially I found it hard answering their questions. I didn't know what to say, how to word things, what was right or wrong, as in would my answers make things worse?
Now I am ok with it, and can even joke around about it.
I have constantly educated them about other stuff, but I see no need to say what exactly it is that mummy smokes, until they ask and they haven't yet.
