S-E-X Talk - Page 2

I don't know why anyone would be embarrassed about it, but I can see why it will be a hard thing to talk about with your child. I mean, she's six years old!

I can completely understand why Angela would be "sad" about it. Talking about sex is like opening a door and praying to God that with this new-found knowledge they walk through that door when the time is right!

Take my best friend for example. She knew the "mechanics" of how to have sex, was curious about how it felt, and did it at ten years old! Her parents are loving, caring, wonderful Christian people. She was just curious. And that's something she can never take back and she regrets it to this very day! At ten years old, I had NO CLUE what went where is regards to sex. Literally would not have known what to do.

I'm not saying that she shouldn't tell her daughter anything, i'm just saying that I can understand how it can make some people apprehensive... especially at six! But a talk about puberty is much different from a talk about sex. They might go hand in hand, but let's be honest... it's a different conversation LOL!

But Angela I know that you will handle the situation perfectly for your daughter! You're a great mom!

Thank you all so much for your input...

So this is what I decided. She is not asking questions, she just made one statement. I talked to her about the statement, and she did not ask any questions. I am not going to push it any further right now. Thank you i2r2 - I almost stepped on that landmine myself!

I have bought the books, which I will keep until she does begin to ask questions. I will look over the book about how a little girl should take care of her body, decide what parts are appropriate for her, and read/discuss it together. Tonya - that just scared the HELL out of me! Good info. though, gave me something to think about.

At school they have been talking about "good/ bad" touches, she and I talked about it together last night. Where her private parts are, who should touch them and why! How she could stop someone from touching her, or one of her siblings, and that she should NEVER keep a secret from Mama, unless Grandma bought me a present, she should not tell me that.

Thank you all again, you gave me a lot to think about, and luckily I did not rush into it before I got some advise.

the "where did i come from" is a great book! My parents gave that one to me when i was a kid. I don't know really when it appeared but it was a good one which gave the facts of life without being horribly overwhelming.

maybe 7-8ish? something like that i think...

Adreamer's_wfe · 02-13-2007, 08:43 PM

yeah, I got the books in the mail... WOW!!! Complete with pictures and discriptions. Ah, the one that took my breath away THE MOST - which is saying a lot- is the instructions and illustrations for how to use a tampon. It illustrates a little girl sitting on the toilet, smiling, and step by step, inserting a tampon. I am not ready to go there with her yet. YIKES!!

Hey, can I borrow that book when you're done? I've never been able to use one of those things correctly. LOL! I'm teasing about borrowing the book ha! ha!

Adreamer's_wfe · 02-15-2007, 07:11 AM

I would be happy to loan it to you! The smile on her face is REALLY creepy - she looks entirely too happy... never had that much fun myself, maybe I should read it more closely.

Bigsweetie · 02-15-2007, 11:31 AM

Lmao!

geez, i coulda used that... i still don't understand those things

(thank goodness my BCP's wipe out that time of the month! haha)

Adreamer's_wfe · 02-18-2007, 09:04 PM

In this case, ignorance may be bliss... I am telling you, the illustrations are CREEPY!! Did I mention she has pig tails and public hair?! I am not ready to go there with my 7 year old.

The saddest part - she is the oldest of my 4 girls - I get to go through this four times!! God help me.

Kristie · 02-19-2007, 11:13 AM

easy solution....have the oldest girl help you explain it to the youngest girl.. you know how girls talk depending on the ages, it may be easier to get her help in translating between the generations.

just an idea!
