Not sure if I agree with the NEVER too young part. It's not a "prude" sort of thing. I just think at 6, they are not quite old enough to comprehend the entire subject. My daughter, who just turned 10 knows exactly what sex is, how babies are conceived and born, etc. It's more of a parent knowing when their child can fully understand what is being explained. You should always describe it in an age appropriate way, otherwise it doesn't really do much good. My daughter knows that she can ask me questions and/or talk about ANYTHING with me. That is always a good thing!!
