| Its great to hear that everyone is a little , lets say "nervous", approaching this subject with their children!! Ive told my darling soon to be 11 year old, to keep one day next week clear as we have to have a "mummmy-daughter talk".. She said "cool mum, cant wait.. But why cant we do it now"... And I told her because I wasnt ready as I needed to get some information!! I didnt tell her that i needed an alcoholic beverage before hand..(just kidding.... or am I??????)

| I don't have kids, but have had 'the talk' with nieces. One when she was only 5! Each time they said something which instigated 'the talk' and I'd already talked to their mums before this happened to ask if they wantd me to answer stuff when approached as we were close and I just knew 'stuff' would come up. My words of wisdom are not to call genitals silly names (my neighbours girl used to call her vagina her lily until she was about 12!) be direct and honest. The 'no big deal' way I found worked. Someone above had good advice - they will guide you - that is true. Not everyone is ready for everything. There's no need to go the full whack if they have enough information for their age group and maturity. Generally a child will ask further questions when you bring it up and if they don't, chances are they aren't quite ready. Good luck - it's all so natural just keep it light and no non-sense, you'll be fine

Hey Everyone, I forgot I'll have to do this with my girls! They're almost 4 and 5 now, so I have a few years up my sleeve I hope.
(Kimmy, my youngest daughter is autistic... I was hoping I'd have longer before talking to her! haha maybe not huh?!)

| Maybe it is different because I have boys but I never felt concerned about discussing the changes that happen with our bodies and sex with them. I am so glad that they felt comfortable enough to ask me to buy condoms for protection when they were ready (although sadly I think they thought they were ready all to early but hey that is life these days - rather them be protected than not). They have always known and used the correct terms for our bodies - I have never understood why parents call their childs penis a pee pee/wee wee or whatever silly name they make up (the same goes for the vagina, there are some really silly 'names' used for that too). Your daughter is 11 and as someone said earlier, she has probably already learned most of it. But I do agree that the fundamentals of life and the changes our bodies go through at different stages should come from parents (because kids often don't get all the right info from each other)... As her mum, I am sure you will do a great job of chatting to your daughter about what she needs to know - it really is so much better coming from you and just think, whenever she has questions now, she will come to you instead of her friends (to get the right answers) because she will feel safe knowing she can talk to you about anything and everything.

PHEW!! ITS DONE!! I DID IT!! I had "The Talk", with my 10 year old daughter!!! We spent about an hour talking, I then gave her 2 books to look at it in private and a note bad to write down any questions she may have! She was totally fine with it all and even asked me questions etc.. Im sure I was the one doing the blushing.... When my husband come home, my daughter informed him, she knew all about the birds & the bees now and that if he had any questions, she would be more than happy to answer them for him!!!
