Best approach?

    Looking for advice from experienced parents regarding teaching a nine year old girl about periods, sex, etc. I've been putting it off for so long now, but got a few books from the library and am going to tackle it tomorrow!

    I'm wondering if I should leave her to read the books on her own and chat to her afterwards, or read it with her? What did you do? Sorry if I sound daft, I'm just really unsure of the best approach.

    I think you are taking the right approach, let her read the books first and then discuss every thing putting your own take on it,that's what I did.

    I'm so glad I finally did this. I don't know why I was so worried. She read the book. Thought it was quite funny and asked only two questions! Phew!
