Basics. We got more detailed as they grew older, and now they know everything. We talk about it freely, nothing's off limits, not even jokes (within some limits of course). I told them when they start noticing the physical changes of puberty, tell me and we'll go have a big party because it's something they should look forward to and be proud of, not be scared or ashamed of.
