I just tried to make sure that emotions were discussed, sex is not just a physical thing.
The questions only get worse.....she asked me what an orgasm is the other day.....then asked if I had ever had one :shock:

OMG! I just spat my juice everywhere lol. How did you answer that one?? X

My 3 all had sex education at school when they were about 9 ... My DH will never forget the day Tattie asked him how old he was when he had his first wet dream :rofl:

Just say it how it is, because chances are, she has heard from school and knows it already and wants it confirmed...and who knows what version she has heard!!! I am also getting my kids books on puberty THIS year as it can start as early as 8 in girls and 9 in boys. My sister gave her son a really good one. It talks about feelings, puberty, girls, chores...etc. There are some really good ones out there.

I would go with this!

Sex talks don't need to be sexual...I know that sounds dumb, but try talking about it from a more scientific point of view if it helps you to not feel so uncomfortable.

Think of it like bees pollinating plants or something.

I'm 29 and they had told us all about menstruation, sperm and eggs when I was 8. It wasn't a rude or sexy kinda thing, just very plain facts and diagrams.

I teach 10 year olds and just finished their puberty unit. Google "Always Changing program" and they have a video there.
