At age 6-8 years old, be prepared to answer more mature questions about reproduction. You may get lots of questions about what certain words mean that could surprise you. Don't forget to be mindful of your tone and facial expressions when this happens. Stay cool, calm, and collected. As children become more independent, reinforce the importance of open communication in your family. Practice this by having family rules around device use and sacred times when it is family time. You could have game nights and have quality time at meals and in the car to discuss your day. You'll want to begin to explain puberty and what body changes to expect. You can begin by reading a book together or using everyday teachable moments to get the conversations started. Always remember to promote a healthy body image. This means modeling this yourself. Be mindful of the language you use on a daily basis. Your children are watching you.
