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?

Im not on board with a 7 year old wearing makeup either. I think puberty is the appropriate time to allow that to start.
But I dont think JCA's mom was some kind of wacko for giving her daughter a little blush at 7.
Hmm. Good question.
I guess if you cared to have someone show her the "right" way to do it and to discuss colors and the shape of her face and all that...you could bring her to Sephora or a deparment store or something along those lines.
I think its important for a girl (who wants to wear makeup) to learn the way to make it work for her.
I agree, I have always looked younger than my age and I don't wear makeup...my mother is the same.

I dont even know how to respond to this exactly.
I guess I think the person you described might be attractive just the way they are. But Id probably still think they'd look a little better with some mascara.
A sensitive to another culture, I see.
