Jessica Biel has already started teaching her two-year-old son Silas about the birds and the bees.
The actress, who is married to Justin Timberlake, revealed she has begun the sex education lessons to help the toddler understand and be comfortable with his own body.
'I have a two-and-a-half-year-old [and] we're starting [sexual education] now,' the 35-year-old said at the 2018 MAKERS Conference in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
'We're using technical terms ... we shower together, and [we say], 'This is what I've got. This is what you've got.'
'We just talk about it. I know it's really young, but I really believe that if you start this early, there's no shame.'
Despite his young age, The Sinner actress confessed that it's never too early to start teaching about having 'respect' for yourself and other people.
'I don't want to tell him, 'Keep your private parts' and this and that,' she added.

'It's a beautiful thing. You have it and mine is different and it's cool, man. We have to respect ourselves and respect each other. So I believe it starts really young'.
And Jessica credits her own sex education for helping her to feel more 'confident' in the bedroom with husband Justin.
She said: '[I'm] still learning too, [but] it's just made everything better because I feel more confident to just tell the truth.
'I feel confident to say, 'You know what? I'm not feeling it,' or, 'This doesn't feel good' or, 'I like this' And I think that takes a long time.'
Meanwhile, Justin recently shared that he and Jessica are working on Silas' manners.
'That's a big deal in our house,' he said at a press conference ahead of his Super Bowl half time performance last week. 'My main objective is he become a great person.'
