PARENTING : Talking to your child about sex

During the early grade-school years, children’s natural interest in their own bodies starts to give way — at least some of the time — to an increasingly compelling interest in their social world.

PARENTING : When your child is ready for school

I do not remember how old I was when I joined school because admission was pegged on a pupil’s ability to touch his/her opposite ear with the hand across the head.
