By 12 that ship has sailed, believe me. Sex ed isn't just how babies were made. You need to teach about consent, pornography, inappropriate relationships, intimate partner coercion and violence, diseases, contraception. The list goes on. This isn't a one and done conversation. Talks should start at birth and continue in an age appropriate way forever. Your kids need to see you as someone they can go to with questions every step of the way.

You don't have to believe me but this is what all of the data says leads to the best outcomes.

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.

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.

I went to a pediatric derm the other day and we had to answer question after question on the tablet about sex at birth, preferred pronouns, current gender identity, sex, and so on. My kid is 8 years old.

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.

I'm confused was this at elementary school or at the pediatric dermatology practice

For those actually interested in book recommendations, I recommend Good Pictures Bad Pictures Jr. It’s a safety book that prepares kids in an age appropriate way for what to do if they ever see bad pictures (porn). There is also a version for tweens, so make sure you get the one that is age appropriate for your kiddo.
