my daughter is nine years old…and a lot of kids in her school are more educated than she is with boys and such,,,Ive kept her as innocent as I could for as long as I can…but she is starting to get boy crazy and I know she is learning a lot at school…I dont think its like about the birds and the bees…I think its more just like what boys have that girls dont…but my husband and I are worried cause I know kids are different today then they were 10, 15 , 20 years ago….now keep in mind that my daughter is mature for her age….but when do you sit a child down and have the birds and the bees talk?
what age? or how mature mentally should they be??

When I went to school they had the talk when we were like in 6th grade and in 7th grade they had someone come in and talk about birth control and that was in 2003. But I already knew about most of this stuff when I was about 9 or 10 so you might want to talk to her about this in the near furture.

It really does depend on how mature they are…my mom gave me the talk when I was about to turn 11.

My mom gave me “the talk” when I was eight or nine right when I started or had the breast buds. I knew some of what it was not most though. You know your daughter though, if she is mentally, and physically ready then give it to her. If she is at the iffy stage were your not sure just maybe tell her about periods and save the rest for when ehes ready in your head.
If you think shes ready as of today the no better time then the present….
hope I helped!
Best of luck!

Just tell her. It can’t hurt anything.

Honestly with your situation If I was to put myself in your place I would give her the talk now. That is the best thing other then her maybe hearing it from someone else then coming to you when everything is confusing to her. It to me just depends ont he child as to when to give them the talk. Just make sure to include little things about it not the full blown thing and explain to her you know that she does need to wait, but your the parent explain it as you think your child could understand it. I hope this is a great help to you. Good Luck very much i know this is a hard part of being a parent. Good luck!!

Now! Quick!
Knowledge is power. When you teach her all about boys and girls, ect. you’re empowering her. You’re not telling her to go out and experiment.
Ignorance is vulnerability. If she’s ignorant, she’s so vulnerable to kids who know more.
She will be proud when she hears some kids talking and they obviously don’t know what they’re talking about.
She’ll say, my mom told me. . . . and the other girls will wish their mom had.
Who do you want her to learn it from?

Well, my mother told me about sex when I was maybe 6…I learned about birth control and condoms from TV and my friends…and I learned about puberty when I was about 8, because I was an early bloomer (though I didn’t get my period until i was 11, and I think that’s normal).

I think she is way too young,so for now just leave it as it is.
However one day you will have to explain to her how things are and etc about boys.In my opinion 12 is a great age to have the talk,but that’s just my opinion.
Good luck

You could probably tell her now. I knew basically nothing about boys, sex, or puberty until I was probably 11. (I’m serious)
My mom never gave me “the talk”. I learned everything on my own or from websites like beinggirl.com. I’m 13 almost 14 now. But talk to her and if she’s not comfortable talking about such things with you have her go to sites like beinggirl.com and others.

I’ve never had the talk from my parents, believe it or not, and i’m graduating from high school next year. And i know everything i need to know… I guess the talk isn’t very necessary unless you dont think your kid will be able to figure things out on their own lol..

my mom told me when i was 7 and she was pregnant with my lil bro but i think now would be a good time if u think she is mature and ready u wouldn’t want her to start doing stupid stuff cuz she think it is “ok”

If I were you (and you’re ready to do this because it’ll be harder on you than her), I’d talk to her now. She’s going through puberty and expiriencing all of these changes and it would be a huge help to her if she knows now that she can come to her mom about sex, boys, and puberty. If you don’t talk to her soon, she’ll probably hear myths from her piers, which will freak her out about everything. I’m 14 and never had “the talk” with my mom. A girl down the street told me about it. My mother and I both regret her not telling me. Also, school won’t educate her on it. The have abstainance programs that just say sex is bad. Your daughter needs you to tell her about these things. Trust me that the sex talk is an important one for mothers and daughters to have.
