Moms Talk Q&A: Explaining the Birds and the Bees
How do you explain the facts of life to your kids?

It's no doubt an embarassing conversation but it's a necessary one: Explaining sex and sexuality to your children.
There's so much to consider in this day and age with raised awareness of sexually-transmitted diseases, increased acceptance of gays and lesbians and popular shows like "16 and Pregnant" that glamorize teenage pregnancy.
How do you explain it all? Do you give your 5-year-old and 12-year-old different "talks"? Do you let school and/or your religion handle it?
