Six Things to Say When Discussing the Birds and the Bees With Your Kids [VIDEO]

It's one of the most awkward conversations you'll ever have with your kids which is why we're here to help.

Oddly enough, I didn't take the advice I'm about to give you. Why didn't I think to Google ways to have "the talk" with my son? This is pretty embarrassing to admit, but I took the Eugene Levy approach (from American Pie) to have the talk with my son; it's probably not even safe to share the things I said because when I get uncomfortable I say the stupidest things.

You would think that being a young mom would make it easier to have that conversation with your kids, but nope. My parents never talked to me about sex; everything I knew I learned from TV, movies and my friend's experiences. Which is probably why I avoided having the talk with my son in the first place.

I stayed in denial about my son having sex for a pretty long time and then one day I was cleaning out his car and found an empty box of condoms. I called my husband and asked him what we should do; both of us were clueless but we knew we had to confront him.

Don't be like me and my husband. We managed to get through our chat about the birds and the bees but had we used these six things to say during "the talk" from Men's Health Magazine, it might have been a lot easier.

I love these lines, very straight forward, too the point and not too over the top embarrassing. It's language your child can understand and appreciate.

This was me.

Have you had the talk about the birds and the bees with your child? Any tips or pointers you'd like to add?
