IN REPLY TO: 5 and 6 year olds talking about "sex" in summer camp.
AUTHOR: lynn2940

I THINK YOU SHOULD SPEAK WITH YOUR DAUGHTER ABOUT THIS. LET HER KNOW THAT SHE IS TO YOUNG TO BE THINKING OR EVEN TALKING ABOUT HAVING SEX WITH SOME BOY. THEN ASK HER TO DEFINE SEX, AND SEE WHAT SHE SAY. BUT MOSTLY, I THINK CHILDREN GET THIS STUFF FROM TV, OR SEEING OR HEARING IT FROM SOMEONE ELSE. I AM HAVING A SIMIULAR PROBLEM WITH MY SEVEN YEAR OLD SON. BUT HE IS NOT TALKING ABOUT SEX, HE IS CURIOUS ABOUT THE GENETIAL AREAS OF HIM AND MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. SO I HAD TO SET HIM STRAIGHT. I TOLD HIM HE HAD AT LEAST 10 MORE YEARS BEFORE HE SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT THIS KIND OF STUFF. AND HE REALLY SHOULD NOT BE THINKING ABOUT IT WITH HIS SISTER. BUT I TOLD MY BOYFRIEND TO TALK TO MY SON BECAUSE HE WAS A MAN AND HE SHOULD KNOW WHAT MY SON IS GOING THROUGH.
