At what age is it the best time to explain the act of sex to your child?
Answer:
hmmm, let her find out herself
"The Talk" is being outdated due to the precense of sex in elementary school, they need to explore and find out themselves, or from friends
my dad never gave me the talk, at 13 I bought my 1st rubber, and at 12, my friend told me a million different things about sex
best to start answering her questions NOW. and using the right terms for body parts too.
That is so scary. I would usually say to do to it at all and wait until the child is a teen. Things are so different now. I would not tell her anymore than is necessary. Perhaps just explain that private parts are private and do not let anyone touch. There are a lot of kids out there who have probably seen and heard more than they need to. I had a coworker who stopped her child from visiting a neighbor because the woman watched porn while the kids were playing in the same room. I feel for parents these days.
i swear i just was talkin with my mom about this! well its the younger the better now a days around here there is a play ground known 4 all theses lil kids hangin there performing oral GROSS I KNOW! but it is like age 7- 10 so yeah u should talk to her look online 4 good books read it 1st read it together ! dont be to graphic... try to turn her away 4rm it .what always stopped me were the facts statistics pictures kinda scared straight i guess.. PLEASE WHAT EVER U DO! NEVER TELL HER SEX IS BAD THAT ANY PARTS ARE BAD OR DONT LET ANYONE TOUCH HER U CAN GIVE HER A LIFE LONG COMPLEX! WORD EVERYTHING CAREFULLY!
I can't believe what I am hearing oral sex in the 2ND grade it is time for the police to be brought in. With the way things are now a day's I guess you have to explain the facts of life as soon as your child starts asking you questions about sex, that could be at 6 or 8 or when ever they star asking questions.
I seriuosly worry about where your child goes to school. Go talk to the principal about this Mine have come home asking about sex and I asked them what they thought it was (answer LOVE and kissing. I agreed and left it at that) but oral sex!!! Only answer as much as needed.
10 and up is my idea, think a 6 year old shouldn't know about any of that yet!! That is plain nasty!! I would tell her if she asks about it sometime! She is gonna keep woundering if she ever finds out and you don't tell her.She could ask someone else and they might tell her when you don't want her to know yet!! That's all I can think of. Keep her safe, you already know there are nasty people out there! :-) :-(
You need to listen carefully to what she asks, and only answer what she asks. Be to the point and don't answer any more than she asks.
i agree with jennr and realmomof when i was in school we started learning "health" class as they called it in 4th grade
but then kids these days are doing everything earlier than we did
reading in kindergarten even ( we didnt learn that till 1st grade)
be truthful with her, find out what she has heard or knows,reassure her that she can talk to you about anything. we never told our kids that the stork brought them etc. we gave them the short clean story of how they came to be. we talk to our kids a lot and encourage them to come to us if they ever have any questions
Start explaining it to her when she is in first or second grade. My mom is a kindergarden teacher and if you explain it to them now they might scream it out in the middle of class and make the other parents upset who have not taught their children yet.Explain to her the means of it and the consequences.Right now just tell her to get away from the talk about it and answer the questions that you find most uncomfortable for her to know.
I think that when she asks a question you should answer using the correct terms.only answer whats she asks..then ask her if she wants to know anything else.sometimes she may want more ..sometimes she maybe satisfied with what you have told her.let her guide you..also there are some great books at the library and even at some of the bookstores out there that you could both read together that deal with these issues...my eldest daughter and I read a couple together about puberty
oh my oral in second grade wow
anyways 10+ or the school has movies they usually watch in 4th or 5th grade
im sorry but kindergarden is far to young to learn that stuff
age 8
age dont metter when they ask is when it is the right time for the talk but do it in a way they will understand what you want to get across
tell them as soon as they hear the words.
My GOD! Report the issue to the principal! This is sick and shouldn't be going on. Kids are innocent and shouldn't know about the act of sex until atleast 6th grade. EEw. If you know which kids are involved in this I would report them they are probably being sexually molested at home.
She is old enough to have answers when she is old enough to ask the question. She already has enough information to be curious, and curious children will ask everyone until they are satisfied. The only way you can be sure the info given is accurate, age appropriate, and tasteful is to give it yourself. Don't let her classmates educate her in this.
