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?

My kids are tiny and usually wear shoes through at least two rounds of the relevant season. Three years was longer than usual for her, but only by about a year. As I wrote in another post, ds is wearing the same winter boots for the third year in a row.
"On top of that the tromp through the woods and feilds constantly in the summer. "
Dd while climb up anything and tromp through anything she can. We live 2 minutes walk from a larger nature preserve :-).
