My sister was saying today how she's dreading telling her daughter (who's 6 months right now) about sex. How would you talk to your kids about sex?

sad but most parents do not bother to talk to their kids about drugs sex or anything controversial~~like religion or bad people Buy a book on the subject of teaching your child the basics of life~~ you don't have to tell her everything at once ~~but it can be an ongoing education my parents never told me anything~~so I had to learn from my peers~~ and guys always tell you the stuff you should not do to girls? women~~maybe girls get the wrong stuff too?

I would find it uncomfortable, but I'd try and be as open and honest as possible about sex. When my child asked me where babies came from, no matter what their age, I would tell them. As they got older, I would go into more detail. Even if the child says they know about things, or have heard it before, I'd insist on telling them anyway, to ensure there was no misinformation.

I will tell them the truth... I will try my hardest not to make it into something shameful, or show that I am embarassed, and I will not lie or sugar coat things. By age 8 I knew the truth of what sex is - what purpose it serves - that will come first. I will tell my child as soon as she asks, or shows and interest. If she never does, because some children don't, I would like to have her know by age 8. I don't know how I will deal with the emotional and physical pleasure side of it yet, that will come a little later unless I am asked about it. I guess I will have to wait and see how I deal with that. The emotional and pysical side of it is not something just to be discussed once... as the child grows up I think it is good to keep the communication open, and perhaps reveal a little more detail and depth. What I tell a 10 year old is going to be different to what I tell a 13 year old.

I'd send them over to see your sister.

I believe you tell them like it is. I don't believe in sugar coating, although I feel a parent needs to say it in a caring manner.

I'm going to tell my kids the truth, but depending on how early the conversation comes up (kids hear things...) limit what they should know. In order to make an informed decision, they need to know as much as possible, while still being apropriate.
-
Not for nothing, but that seems a bit young to talk to a child about sex. I'd wait until they were about 10 or so, unless they asked first.
-
She is right to telling her about sex. but i think 6 year is not apporpriate age to tell her daughter. i think the apporpraite age is 10 year.

It seems that normally kids are getting the class/information in school before you, as a parent, think that they should be getting that information, so that opens the door and starts the conversation. Parents never think their kids should be doing things that they do as early as they do them anyway.

Is she a compulsive worrier? She has mountains to climb before she gets there.
