Ummm...my only advice is don't wait until your child is a junior in high school as mine did...they were a bit late! 10 I think is a good age.

I think it is something that should begin fairly early but providing more info appropriate to their age group. My mom was a nurse and pretty matter of fact with us. I never remember a specific talk but more of a running dialog. I think that was really great. That way it is not something strange or forbidden and scary, which can lead to acting out. imo Hope this helps.

i think i will start around school age. (6) kids know way too much nowadays.

Well, I learned at 4 1/2 because my little brother was about to be born and my mom bought me a silly but honest and helpful book called Where Did I Come From. She probably read it to me, and then I read it myself when I learned how, and I am pretty sure I was knowledgable about the act by first grade.

I never had to have an embarrassing talk about it with my mom or dad. As kids age, it only gets more embarassing to discuss with parents, so I am glad my mom informed me early.
