How can I get information to bring up the subject of human sexually with by 10 yr. son.?
Answer:
A couple of really good books, "What's Going On Down There?" and "A Child is Born" might help provide some good answers.
Take a look at them and if you feel it's appropriate, just give them to your son so he can explore the books on his own. Let him know you can answer any questions he might have. This way, there's no pressure and embarrassment is kept at a minimum but he'll still get good information.
U nasty mom kids arent supposed to know bout that till at least their 11
First, he'll probably have some questions for you when he's ready.
Second, isn't 5th grade the year the kids get the big "sex talk" (boys in one room, girls in the other) where they talk about periods and stuff??
I would make sure that you talk about love and relationships, and respect... not just the physical part of it. Keep it casual, like when you're in the car going somewhere and have a finite amount of time (15-20 minutes) that provides and easy way to end the conversation (arriving at your destination) and also a way for you not to have to make eye contact with him in case he gets embarassed easily.
There are LOTS of books on this subject... check your library first...
I'm sure you mean "sexuality," rather than "sexually," but wow does that make a difference in this case! :)
I encourage you to be honest, open, and direct with your son. Boys are practical thinkers, in general, so it's important not to sugarcoat the fact that there are real dangers or to deemphasize the connection sex makes between committed adults.
Avoid corny nicknames for things, and assume that he will share whatever you say with his friends, so be prepared for his friends' parents to question you, if you're not honest and careful.
Not that much different, except that boys are much less complicated than girls. Ideally, you do this in bits and pieces all through childhood, not all at once (and usually when it's too late).
It would help to know what part of human sexuality is "becoming a problem." The libraries are full of books these days to help parents with teaching their kids about sex, complete with pictures, so you should check there for starters.
Ten year olds still have a readiness filter in place that either blocks out what they're not ready to hear or makes them very upset if you try to force it on them. Go slow and watch his comfort level. Some kids are mature enough to handle it all at that age, and some can only handle a little bit (babies come from mommy's tummy, for example).
Personally, I'd start by asking what he knows (or thinks he knows) already, and correct any misunderstandings and ask him if he has any questions. It's OK not to give him the whole story now and just encourage him to come to you as questions come up, with the assurance that no subject is taboo or too personal (and mean it!).
Probably the biggest issue between mothers and sons is masturbation, since it's so embarrassing for the boy and mothers tend to want to discourage it. If he already masturbates and you know about it, you can break the ice by assuring him it's OK, natural, nearly all boys do it, it won't hurt him, etc.
Good luck.
EDIT: Of course if the issue of human sexuality you're dealing with is homosexuality, then forget all of the mechanics and what goes where and why. It's enough to say that some people are attracted to others of their sex, but most like the opposite sex. It isn't any more complicated than that.
he is too young wait until he is 12. he might start telling friends
