[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ they should know! Girls have brothers ... eventually boyfriends ... eventually husbands. Of course they should know!![/quote]

They should know about it. I’m just not sure if they need to know about it when they are 9 in 4th grade … 6th grade, maybe.[/quote]

Why? What is wrong with a 10 year old girl knowing that a normal part of physical development in a male during puberty is that he will get an erection? Please tell what the issue is? I’m genuinely curious. [/quote]

For many girls this is the FIRST time they’ll learn about how their own body is changing. I teach 4th and for many girls this is the first they are hearing about how much their body will change in the next few years, menstruation, pads, tampons, etc. For some, it’s actually scary. Their parents have told them little to nothing. Let’s let them process that information without throwing in the opposite gender’s developing body as well… at least for another year. [/quote]

Thank you for being one of the very few sensible, science based adults left in fcps who cares for children and understands child development
