[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are just getting this in 5th grade? Our school started it in 3rd grade with basic boy/girl busy development info. I think it's good they start it then. Some parents, unfortunately, won't talk about it. I'd hate to be the girl who gets her period at 10 yrs old and nobody has told her what to expect. Sadly, that happens.[/quote] Of course we talk about those things at home. Duh. Most parents do, but in an age appropriate way that is developmentally appropriate for their kid. In fifth grade, many kids are still playing with legos, wanting to believe in Santa Claus, or still wanting to play with their American Girl Dolls. There is nothing wrong with stepping it back on sex ed, such as discussions of STDs, if the child is not ready for it. Quite contrary to what you might want to think, not every fifth or sixth grader is engaging in "shenanigans" including the ones who are curious about things.[/quote]
