Advice: The big "talk"
| Sun, 02-18-2007 - 7:28am |
Okay, I need advice on when people started or will start to have the big "talk" with their kids.
My oldest is going to be 9 next week. I have some friends telling me they already had this talk with their children at this age. She just seems so young to me. She still plays house, school and dolls with her little sister. IMO, telling her about sex is going to take some innocence away from her. But, am I sheltering her too much?
She knows about periods and body hair development. She already has little breats "bumps" (as she likes to call "em).
Agghhh..I really thought I had until she was 12 to have this talk like my mother did.
What is everyone's opinion?

I don't think anyone has said anything of the sort. I think people are disagreeing with your premise that any pre-teen wearing something other than flat shoes (i.e. "heels") is sporting the bimbo look.
From your post:
"But imo flat shoes are a must until around 12yo. I have no interest in the pre-teen bimbo look."
Your post said:
"But imo flat shoes are a must until around 12yo. I have no interest in the pre-teen bimbo look."
If you weren't implying that heels equal the pre-teen bimbo look, then what was the purpose of this combination of sentences. Usually, when someone puts two sentences together they are related in some way.
Again, generally "heels" refer to shoes that are not flat shoes. What definition of flat shoes were you using? Can flat shoes have "heels"? And by "heels," I'm using the colloquial defintion (i.e not flat shoes).
