We started with the basics around this age, then added any details as question arose. We tried to make it more scientific when they were younger, but added the emotional connections as they aged. My kids are older, and still ask questions, most still make me uncomfortable, but they deserve an accurate answer. I would prefer they be able to ask us than get possibly wrong information from their friends.

Please don't start talking to your 10 years old about puberty, I have no doughty you will find out when the time is right. Just enjoy the time now while you have him as 10 years old.
