[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 9 year old has not asked. When she does, I'll have the talk with her. If she hears from her friends, I am ok with that too. She'll figure out the truth eventually. I was 10 when I learned about sex from friends and in school. My parents never had the talk with me. It hasn't impacted me, I figured things out soon enough. I may be a prude, but I think it is inappropriate for a 5 or 6 year old to know about sex unless they have been misinfor med by someone and you need to clear it up. My 6 year old niece explained sex to me and it was just weird. Do you talk about oral sex, gay sex etc too?[/quote]

The point is that they will get informed by someone- wouldn't you prefer that someone to be you? What you are really saying is that you'd rather someone else tell her because you find it uncomfortable to talk about. This is one of those times where it's really best to put your own comfort aside and do what is best for your kid. Learning about sex from their parent is far better than hearing about if from someone's older sibling. [/quote]
