I really am enjoying Jessica getting older; she can do more, and we can enjoy things together that we couldn't before--playing games, reading chapter books... I've even been thinking that it's about time to start teaching her how to play Mormon Rummy--a family tradition! ;-)
However, I'm not quite sure I'm ready for all the "questions" she has been starting to ask. That part of getting older is coming all too quickly for me, and I guess I'd better get prepared for "the talk." I'd rather she talk to me and ask me the questions than for her to talk to some kid at school or some other random person. So far, I have tried to answer the immediate question in the simplest way possible, without having to go into too much detail, but I have to be careful not to put her off too much.
I don't remember ever even having "the talk" with either of my parents. I don't remember even asking those questions. I only remember the school presentations we had, and my mom came to those. I guess she talked with me about them some after, but not until then from what I recall. I think that was about 4th grade and 6th grade they showed us something. Here they do something in 5th grade, which I hope they give parents an opportunity to view ahead of time and choose whether to have their child present or not. Jessica is almost 8, almost done with 2nd grade. I don't think she's going to wait until 5th grade to have "the talk," since she already seems to have so many questions. Of course, my current pregnancy is obviously stirring up some of her curiosity. Aauughh! She's just growing up too fast!
So for those of you reading this, when have you had "the talk" with your daughters? Or when did your mom "talk" to you? EEK!

Te he. Good luck with that. I haven't reached that point with my boys, but know it will be coming soon. I am always thinking about how to go about it.
Hum, don't have much advice, but will be glad you are going first so you can give us all your tips.
There are lots of things that can spur on kids' curiosity about things. We don't have any TV reception, but our kids watch lots of movies. Even G-rated movies now seem to have something thrown into them that could make a kid curious. And I'm sure she hears stuff at school. She also had a pregnant teacher last year AND a pregnant teacher this year, so you know kids talk about stuff. I know last year kids were because she talked to me about some things they said, and I had to explain a little bit then to correct misinformation.
We try hard to teach our children what's right, but it is difficult when the world makes wrong things seem so normal and okay. And as for "the talk," I wonder how much she is really mature enough to hear--how much can she understand or handle. I answered a question of hers last night--to a point, then said we'd talk more later. After, I explained to her that when mommy and daddy talk to her about these kinds of things, that she is not to talk to other kids at school about it because it is up to their parents to talk to them and because she may not tell them quite right. Also, if any kids say anything to her, that she should talk to us about it because they might not be telling her right either. I don't want her going to the wrong sources, ya know?! I sure hope she can understand and respect that.
Aauughh, my baby's growing up! ;-)
LOL! Thanks, Sharon! ;-)
I set the age of eight to give them the basics. That seems to be the age where they start getting curious and unfortunately will get misinformation from peers and other places. They really don't need to know more than the basics at that age. It is imperative to teach them how sacred and special it is. They definitely need a different picture painted of it than the world does.
Then I kind of "check" in with them throughout the years to see if they have questions or misconceptions about it all. It is so important that they feel comfortable talking about it with you. It is such a hush, hush thing that when something is wrong, they will not know how to talk about it.
I don't know, that is my 2 cents, but I have seen the ugly of it; the consequences of not being aware and teaching them the right way and I just want to protect them from that!
Good luck!
no need for the talk just let me get her knickers off and show her, I LOVE 8 yr old p-ss-, it feels amazing their tight, slim, sexy little body bucking and shaking as you eat her p--sy, rub your d--k up and down the bald, puffy slit then gently push in and take her cherry, after the first time they want it all the time
