 S-E-X Talk
Our seven year old told DH yesterday morning that she knew what
S-E-X was and that it is bad. He of course, said nothing and told me that night while I was cleaning up dinner.
I got online, read all the advice, and ordered four books from Amazon on the subjuct, one was about how little girls should take care of their bodies. Once the books come, we are going to read the books as family and then let her keep the books so she can look at them whenever she needs (she is a first grader with a third grade reading level, so she will be able to read them herself.)
I talked to her last night - asked what she knew, which was nothing, and talked to her. I explained that sex is a body process, that adults do it, it is not bad, but it is private, like going to the bathroom. I told her about the books and that we would talk about it more when the books came.
Yes, we did just have a baby, which seems like a good time to start the talk, but at the time she did not ask how the baby got there - just how the baby got out. Since I was having a C-section, I just told her the DR. was going to cut open my tummy and take her out - which seemed enough for her.
So, for those of you that have been down this path - any advice? |
