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 agree...when i hear about separations like that,it makes me cringe,too. then i get over it and consider the source. :)
p.s. i do gotta share a funny,though..a couple weeks ago my dds had a sleep over. their friend lives in an apartment. probably lower ses than us,no big deal. i heard them playing upstairs and friend tells my dd she's rich. surface crap,apparently. dd,innocently enough,responds with a what does rich mean? that conversation didn't go far at all!!
No. Do you? If so, why?

Do you mind if your children are friends with with people one or two class rungs higher than you are?
