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?

okay, so it works in YOUR experience, therefore it must work for everyone. Because you say muscular active girls have light periods, it must be true.
Well, my body sure didn't listen to you when I was a teen. I had very little body fat. i was very active. And I had very heavy periods. There's no way I could have been comfortable in my cheerleading with a pad. No freakin' way.
Good rule.
With this particular subject ... all of the main parties involved (dj, debbie and I) had stopped. I thought it was over. Then people come in (mountainmama) and start it up again. then it died again. and now, just this weekend, someone else started it all over again.
So dj can hardly be blamed for making it go on and on and on (you didn't say that, but another posted implied she should just drop it ... when she had).
You're probably right, but then I wouldn't have been saying what I actually think about this subject.
Maybe you don't agree that there are pre-teens afoot sometimes who could be described as having the bimbo look, or the bimbo-in-training look, in part because of their footwear. But that's okay.
I hear you. I swear I need a bib some days.
