When did you have the "body changes" talk with your boys?

Jacob will be 10 in a couple of months and I know that I should have the body changes talk with him.
When did you do it and what did you say to them? Would be easier if his dad did it, at least he knows what sort of changes happen, lmao.

hi i am single with five kids aged 19 down to 11, my three boys are the oldest and i alway talked to them in day to day life about things like, start wearing deodorant now as when you get hair under your arms they will smell. and that would trigger off other questions from them. about 8 or 9 is a good age. i think that talking to them daily about things will give them that sense of trust that they can come and discuss other issues with you its all about good communication practices while their still young enough that they dont think that they know everything lol

you will probably have to start earlier than that, girls these days are maturing earlier, I would say about 9 years old+ so maybe four years til you have the talk lol
