How old is he? I believe generally, you watch "the movie" at around eleven or twelve. If you absolutely cannot feel comfortable talking to him about it, I would recommend the book Changing Bodies, Changing Lives. It's very good at addressing all the issues parents don't always feel comfortable or able to talk to with their children (and the issues they'd never dreamed they'd have to).

However...it's always better to have these kinds of talks in person. Giving a book is grand, but there is nothing like having someone to talk to, because there will always be the odd question that kids can't find the answer to anywhere.


let me light up the sky, light it up for you
let me tell you why, i would die for you
When you whisper, you must be absolutely as sincere as when you scream.
9 out of every 10 problems in relationships can be solved by talking. So why are we so damn quiet?
