At what age is a good age to...?
Answer:
I'm probabily going to get a lot of "thumbs down" thingys, but I think now is a good time, take a look throughout the questions on here, you see 11 and 12 year old girls asking how to tell their moms that they are pregnant!
I think that when they're about that age, the school would send you a consent form so they can discuss the issues of puberty and sex with your children. That kind of takes a lot of stress off of your mind. When I was in 5th-8th grade, they did that each year.
Perhaps you should wait until spring to see what happens. If not, have the talk then.
you should start talking about it when they start puberty
When they reached through high school, b/c that's when things began to change. Look at me. I'm already 16 and i'm in high school already talking about it.
Now would be Ok just don't get to graphic just yet. Wait till about 14 or so.
ASAP It is never to early to discuss safe sex with your kids.
I would start talking about it now with them. You wouldn't believe how much kids know about this stuff already now-a-days. My brother is 15, and I cannot BELIEVE 1/2 the stuff he says to me about kids in his grade and friends. You want to get the right information out to your kids, not by what all their little friends are going to tell them. Good luck!
you might be surprised to see sometimes that they know about it already.
That's a tough question, especially when they are that young. You might want to bring up man/woman relations little by little just to at least see how much they already know. Then you can appropriately adjust to how much or how little you want to explain to them. Or just sit back and look for signs that they are actually showing a genuine interest in girls.
You definately should talk to them now. You should have talked to them sooner, but it's better late than never. They need to know how to be safe and what to expect. Kids are growing up way too fast and you need to keep up with them... So go for and good luck.
I started the "talk" with my son, when he started asking questions. I didn't get into much detail then (he was 7), but at 15 now, we talk about all kinds of stuff! It's amazing what they hear from their friends and such and how wrong it is!
Ever child is different. You need to talk to your kids on a regular basses to find out if they are already thinking about it. Some times simple asking them if they are hearing about sex at school it the best approach. If they are it is time to start talking to them about it.
I would say start the talks @ 12. There's no doubt going to be kids older that them inlfuencing/ talking about it, so good info should come from you.
Right, now is a good age to start. I talked to my boy about sex when he was 10 years old. Now, a days you seriously have to because they are starting in the 6th grade and girls are developing faster and boys are noticing more.
Now, is the best time,, before its to late. Better taught at home, than friends.
yes the best time to start talking to them only when they show some interest on that..if you find they are being interested slowly..i feel you can surely go up and talk to them..or..you can be good friends to them..right from the time when they are 10 -11 because..they start growing all the curiosity towards all that you know..if you get close enough to them n win on their trust they will be finding you very dependable and will depend to ask all their queries..so you can start talking to them freely enough..
I feel you definetely should try win on their trust..you care for them you keep yourself aware of all they do n like doing...and you can advice them on that...if they find..mama papa are caring n they always feel about n care about what we like n do..they would obviously come looking for u..n that way u can get close to them..n even be there in every need of theirs..
so
Best of Luck
cheers
Always talk 2 them about it and make sure thier really listening but then again you should wait so they can really understand the consequences
When you're watching TV and you see people kissing is a good time to start the conversation. Just say something like "wow, they must really know each other well because we don't kiss anyone unless we know them really well." Kind of go on from there talking about what you feel comfortable with. Remember that you have 2 ears maybe your boys have something they want to say. Listen listen listen.
Don't have "The Talk." That's intimidating and uncomfortable, no matter what age your kids are. But, do bring it up--just don't make it into a HUGE deal, as they will tune out. Age 11 or 12 is a good age to mention it once in awhile. I knew MANY kids in middle school who lost their virginities at age 12. (Sick, I know.) 10 is a bit young.
This is what my mom told my brother: Don't have sex unless you are 100% okay with having the girl be the mother of your children and 100% okay with having her in your life forever.
i think about 12...or even now. anymore junior high kids are getting more sexually active...
i think their ready
Those are perfect ages.
you should get there dad to talk to them (if have) if not you should when there 12 or 13 or now if you are scared they might do it early
