jmmom: I love the concept of soundbites. I think with my son that’s the way to go - and not just in the area of sex talks. You know how boys mature at such different rates from each other? We all knew the kid in 7th grade already shaving with a voice so low he could be on radio. Well, mine is at the complete opposite end. At 15, he is only just now starting to go through puberty (and wouldn’t he love to know that a whole internet world knows that fact!!) but he is already 6’ tall and over 200 pounds. So far he is incredibly uninterested in girls and so I’m not too worried about having a lot of talks - although I’ve had many and his older sister has certainly weighed in and speaks pretty bluntly to him about sex.

But as he changes in the next several years he’s going to need to hear some pretty important messages. And soundbites are definitely the way to go with him, given his mom attention span.
