We...Such a fantastic weekend and a lovely idea.<br /><br />We're always very honest with the girls and when they've seen me go to the toilet at 'the time of the month' we've had a talk about periods - in a way they can understand.<br /><br />And also in terms of how babies are made we've been open and honest - but in a way they can relate to at their young age. We feel no need to make up stories that the 'stork brought the baby' etc.<br /><br />I had a most memorable weekend away with my father when I was 16. We went walking for the weekend, camping in a field and hiking the countryside. It was after my GCSE's and I was off to college to do my A-levels before Uni. It was such a special father and daughter time and I've never forgotten it.<br /><br />My mother and I often had time together, but to spend a weekend one on one with my father was very precious.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing.Catching the Magichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02439612318034698506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21793903.post-6112268596215199152010-10-06T01:37:36.562+13:002010-10-06T01:37:36.562+13:00what a BRILLIANT idea!

We are and always have been a very open book family...actually I am sure The Rock Star wishes i would close it slightly...lol. Lots of open, honest dialogue. But I love the weekend away idea for hte one on one aspect. Such great memories not only for son, but for dad too. After all, it is all about relationships. Really love this idea PJ, thanks for sharing this.

The reason for the weekend together is a purposeful one but the fact that father and son can take time together like that is the totally wonderful thing.

I was so prepared that none of the body changes or things ahead phased me, almost like i wasn't even interested. haha.<br /><br />ANYWAY.<br /><br />This idea is great, much better, i like that you take them away so that they don't have to feel stink with their siblings or even like a boy might feel stink with his mum sitting there frowning while dad sheepishly hopes he's saying the right stuff.<br /><br />oh and I think i got a book too, it was funny and i liked it as it had cartoons! hahaSarah Gauntletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10681410954759816252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21793903.post-69866057899834127562010-10-05T21:45:36.582+13:002010-10-05T21:45:36.582+13:00Thats a really awesome idea.

What a great way to make your child feel really special too.<br />i recently talked to my eldest about the changes ahead because I didnt want her to find out the 'wrong' information in the school playground. I just introduced it a wee bit, talking about hygiene changes, and what body changes to expect. She had a funny look on her face the whole time and at the end I asked her if she had any questions and she said, yes, can I play on the Wii now? but hopefully Ive opened the door and she feels she can come back to me when she's ready. Will definately consider a weekend away with her though and check out thos resources - brilliant idea!Leoniehttp://www.kiwiatheart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21793903.post-48914873039241863982010-10-05T21:39:32.206+13:002010-10-05T21:39:32.206+13:00I love it - it is many years away for us, yet, but...I love it - it is many years away for us, yet, but I'm going to tuck this wee gem away for when the time comes.
