At birth? Lol, come on.

Yeah, what the heck?

When do you start pointing out body parts to your child? Naming them and their functions?

I'm sorry that you have hangups about this but please for the sake of your children do some reading and educate yourself. This will keep them safe and ensure they have healthy relationships with their bodies and sex.

Ok, so you just went though 12 hours of labor and delivery and you are holding your baby for the first time... and then you point between your legs and clearly say VAGINA and then point at dad's crotch and say PENIS? There's no need to do this at birth, in the newborn stage, or even in the infant stage.

Do you always take everything so literally? Have you ever been tested for that?

The point is that there is no too early to talk about bodies and consent. It starts with conversations about what body parts are what, which yes happens very early. I would encourage you to ask yourself why you have a hard time talking about sex and what message that sends to your kids. If you don't talk to them about this someone else will. How will you control that conversation?

Love how people in DC think 25 year olds can't be held responsible for committing violent crimes because their brains are still developing, but six year old brains are mature enough to need to know about "consent, pornography, inappropriate relationships, intimate partner coercion and violence, diseases, contraception."

Yes. This kind of craziness is what is pushing normal, moderate independents like me to put our children into religious private schools. I voted Dem to try to block Trump, but I don’t need or want my kindergartener learning about all of the above and about gender identity disorders and sex changes. It’s normal for kids to want to grow up to be whatever. It’s not normal for parents to listen to an 8 year old when he says he wants to be a girl. I talked to my child about female and male parts along with their proper names, and about good touch and bad touch, I don’t need my child knowing about sex and porn at this time.

Interesting. Please provide bibliographic citations to those papers and that data. I am a scientist. I understand population statistics. I have access to a good university library, so I can get nearly all articles from the refereed literature. Thanks!

Not exactly about sex but definitely a good book about bodies and private parts: "Who Has What?" It briefly mentions that once girls and boys become women and men and are ready and want to be parents, they can make a baby, but doesn't go into too many details.

Consent for 6 year old can be talked about in completely non-traumatic way. In K, a boy in class was kissing everybody just for fun and my son told me about it. This was a great moment for our first talk about consent. We talked about how people's bodies are their own and no one can touch them in any way unless they are okay with it, and it is important to make sure they are okay with it. What this therapist is saying is that you start like this and, as they age, the details change. You obviously don't want to traumatize your children, but it's good to start talking about those things gently, especially if they express interest in any way. It is also okay to say, "hmm, I'm not sure how to explain it to you right now. Let me think about it and we will talk about it later." Then follow up with age appropriate information once you come up with or researcha good way to explain it to 5-6-7-year-old.

Please point where anyone but you mentioned sex changes and gender dysmoprhia.
Consent inappropriate relationships inappropriate touch body parts their functions puberty can all be discussed in the range given to 10
Further re read what the therapist said. She basically said early often continual factual ut most importantly age appropriate.
Ffs you all are obsessed. I literally never think of trans issues until some independent " " brings it up.

My DD has 2 trans friends.
With her best friend happened when they were both around 7.
Me to DD: Larlo has been struggling with being a boy for a while now so is going be whats called a trans girl. She will look like a girl on the outside and what like us to use she/her instead of he/him.
DD: why ?
Me: I’m not really sure but she’s still your friend and we’re going to be kind and everything else will be the same.
They’re teens now and still friends. There’s no agenda, it’s costs nothing to have an open mind and be kind to everyone.
There was no porn or sex discussed as part of the discussion.

What makes you think anyone is talking about sex changes in elem? If you think that’s what is being taught you need to seriously read some of the books.
There is a great book for younger kids called “ My Princess Boy” literally doesnt talk about body parts at all or sex. Just about a boy who gets made fun of because he likes princesses. But he gets the courage to be himself and carries on with what brings him joy.
It’s a really great book about being different. And for kids who are different, they need these books to know they’re ok.

So not this discussion then? And do you also get huffy when then ask about high blood pressure or cancer hx in the patient who is 8 years old? It doesn't apply to the majority of 8 year olds but there is a small percentage who has a history so they ask. Same goes for preferred pronouns.
Also pediatric goes up to 18. May not be applicable to your kid but at what age is it appropriate to ask?
What age will you actually accept that it's a valid question that your child can be asked. Btw kudos to you for having your 8 year old leaned to fill out their own forms. It's good practice.

How could you trust someone who does that? Should find another doctor before he harms your kid.

So not this discussion then? And do you also get huffy when then ask about high blood pressure or cancer hx in the patient who is 8 years old? It doesn't apply to the majority of 8 year olds but there is a small percentage who has a history so they ask. Same goes for preferred pronouns.
Also pediatric goes up to 18. May not be applicable to your kid but at what age is it appropriate to ask?
What age will you actually accept that it's a valid question that your child can be asked. Btw kudos to you for having your 8 year old leaned to fill out their own forms. It's good practice.

There's a time and a place, and elementary school is not it.

Children are interested in their bodies and biology from early on. I read "Amazing you" to my daughter when she was 3 because she had so many questions. We then read "It's so amazing" (a follow up to "It's not a stork") when DC turned 8 and wanted to know more.

Having said that, I had to buy an old (early 2000) edition of "It's so amazing" because the new version dedicated too much time to "sex assigned at birth", "doctors making a guess on baby's gender", etc. I didn't think these recent updates were particularly useful.

In support of the therapist on here - I agree. It doesn't have to be the farfetched example of the PP. But beginning to model consent, even during diaper changes. Relatives demanding hugs and kisses that a child does not want to give. Respecting bodily autonomy. That should all be MODELED and also talked about.

Trust me, it matters. And those of you starting in middle school - you are very late to the game.
