My mom bought me a book when I was 5 called the Human Body, which had very detailed drawings of the entire human body and all of its organ systems, as well as lengthy explanations as to the body's functions. Obviously, this included the reproductive system.
Notably, the book left one key piece of information. Sure, it showed how the sperm fertilized the egg and formed a zygote and so on, but it did not mention just how the sperm got to the egg. So that part I had to ask Mom about.
My 13-year-old babysitter wanted to take me to her health class and show me off in front of the kids because evidently I knew a lot more than her peers, even at 5.
I know when it comes time to raise my own children, I'm certainly not going to shy away from the topic.
