[quote=Anonymous]Naming body parts correctly starts as an infant, while narrating the day. Toddlers learn to say the correct words while learning to talk and potty training. Preschoolers learn what is appropriate touching, what to do when something feels uncomfortable and when it's appropriate to make yourself feel great (kid reaching into his pants in the store was absolutely not the time or place!). Any child mature enough to read can pick up on of the many educational books on the shelf, and many deal with puberty, pregnancy, etc. If they haven't asked to talk to me about sex, pregnancy and puberty by the beginning of first grade, it's time to talk during each break, a little at a time, so that they have time to process. Teens who grow up in households where no topic is forbidden are more likely to discuss their plans with the adults in their lives rather than sneaking around, and they're also more likely to be careful.[/quote]
