When should I start talking to my daughter about sex?

I saw on my local news that you should start talking to your children about sex at the age of 5! That's the age of my daughter!When should I start talking to my daughter about sex?At age 5 she should start to become curious. You don't have to explain the down and dirty details but you should explain the difference between girls and boys.the reasons why its important to explain at a young age is because when she becomes curious and you don't tell her anything she's going to find out on her own and you don't want that. when she gets a little older you explain what exactly those parts of girls and boys do with each other and that only people in love do those things. But don't feel any pressure. If you don't think she is mature enough to understand then do it when she is. You're her parent, you make the decision.When should I start talking to my daughter about sex?
You shouldn't be afraid to talk about sex with your children ever in their lives. If the subject is never avoided, even at very early ages than they won't be so eager to hop in bed with someone as soon as they can... They will just understand that it's part of life. Go ahead and talk with her about it... sooner the better.

Hope I've helped.When should I start talking to my daughter about sex?when she's about 5-7 years old
heck NO! i would never do that she is just going to talk about it around other kidsWhen should I start talking to my daughter about sex?No!! No!! You don't talk to your 5 year old about the act of sex, you can start talking to them about the differences of boys and girls. You can start off by talking about the differences between mommy and daddy. As she gets older you build on these conversations with age appropriate examples. You need to have your daughter prepared and have a healthy understanding of sex. After all you do want her to be able to come to you with questions or problems when she gets older. In order for this to happen communication needs to begin at an early age. Only you know your child and what she is capable of understanding. Never let a local news station direct your parenting. (I'm sure you already knew all this but just needed some assurance)



Good LuckWhen should I start talking to my daughter about sex?
when she is about 12
Only talk to her about good and bad touches meaning strangers should not touch her in any way,but only you and the doctor should in a appropriate way. Don't talk about sex until she start asking questions.When should I start talking to my daughter about sex?
with my 2 girls they were about 12 years old .younger they dont understand...
Immediatly, It's important, not only to you but to her as well. Don't hide it. It could damage her for life. be discrete when mensioning S.T.D's
I think it should be an ongoing discussion. My daughter is two and we've already introduced it. Before you flip out let me explain. We have discussed inappropriate touching and kissing. Also we explain certain things on TV when she happens to see them that only mommies and daddies do that. As she gets older the conversations will mature obviously. I was abused as a child and even after that no one explained anything to me. You don't need to sit your daughter down and brake out a condom but I have seen children as young as two doing things they shouldn't because no one explains things to them. Even just going to the park opens a huge window to all kinds of PDA that may confuse her. I hope that helps you.
It gets harder and harder to address the issue of sex with your child as they get older. My suggestion is to talk about it from toddler age. There are many more things to discuss besides describing the actual act. My daughter is 5 and I've already explained inappropriate touching and the importance of respecting our bodies. We've addressed the "special hug" married people do when they want to express their love to one another. As she gets older we'll introduce other things like single parenthood, alternative lifestyles, etc...

Just like with drugs, alcohol and smoking, you have to be the one to provide the correct information. If you do it early it won't be so akward later. If you child grows up hearing these topics all the time, there will be no shame or apprenhension when it comes time for those questions. You'll both be comfortable and already have a stage set for open parent-child discussions.
