[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a child therapist. Those of you saying wait until 10-12...this is a very bad idea. You need to be the person your child hears this information from. 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. [/quote]

At birth?  Lol, come on.[/quote]

Yeah, what the heck?[/quote]

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. [/quote]

There's a really long period between "at birth" and 10 years old. You know, like a period of 10 years. [/quote]

PP said the appropriate time to start talking about this was age 10-12. I'm sorry, I want my kids to know what a vagina is before age 12. You do you boo![/quote]
