What should the mother do if the father talks to the child about it?

Tell them you will explain it to them when they get older

Explain cheerfully and sensibly that sex is something special that happens between two adults who love one another very much, but that it's quite complicated and children don't need to think about it until they're older. Say that adults have special places which fit together a bit like a puzzle, but that there are special rules you need to know first and only your parents can tell you what the rules are. Mainly, re-iterate that it is something for grownups.
And what on earth is the father doing discussing a parent's sex life with a child? That's ridiculous and potentially harmful.

Tell her that sex is personal. Tell her the truth...say that your sex life is not something she needs to know about and that when she's older she will understand. and yes I think a father should talk to his daughter about these things. Fathers play a significant role in a childs life...stay calm, be rational and explain to her what sex is if she wants to know. Better she hears from you rather than at school where the ttalk is bound to be rude, and on top of that false...

Yeah, I would go with the "It's none of your business" answer, because it really isn't any of her business. As for her father talking about it, I would say have a discussion with him because that is very inappropriate behavior to be talking about sex lives with your 7 year old daughter, or any child for that matter.

At 7, her child should not even know she has a sex life? That being said, give short age appropriate responses to the questions.

WOW!!! In this case, I really don't know what to tell you. I mean, are you doing or saying things in front of your child to provoke him or her to ask you this?? What exactly are they asking? I mean, it depends on the types of questions they're asking...I, personally, wouldn't want my kids to turn to school or the streets and learn about sex the wrong way. I would rather it come from me, as the parent, and tell them things about it the way I would want them to know it...I once had a debate with a person I was dating whos 10 yr old son asked about a condom...She came flat out and told him what it was and what it was for...At the time I didn't understand why she did that, but that's when she explained to me that SHE would rather be the one to explain to him than someone else who might inform him incorrectly...Regardless of the age, when a kid asks a question like that, be glad that they come to you first...Don't turn them away b/c if you do, they're gonna seek answers elsewhere...Try to explain the best way you know how...We'd like our kids to remain innocent for as long as possible, but with the ways of society nowadays that's just almost impossible

Tell the child that is private between Mom and Dad, and tell the father that some things are private and should not be shared with young children.

There's too much we don't know here. Are you and the father separated? What the hell is his reasoning? If you and her father are separated is he asking her about your sex life? Really whatever the case you need to try to stop this nut!

You need with your husband to present a united front. Discuss this with your husband and then discuss approprately with your seven year old they dont' need to know all the lurid details at seven unless they have gone thru molestation or they have contact with someone who has no compunction or boundaires about talking about sex.

Good question...I am not a mother yet..but my 8 year old nephew(who is like my son) asked me that question.. I gave him a very general round about answer..depending on how mature your child is for his or her age.... you should base your answer around that...Good luck!!

if you'll just answer her leaving confused, she'll look for answers elsewhere. Explain to her what it is (not exactly what you do) Make sure she's satisfied with the answer. Take her for therapy. If the father talks to her about it, limit conact with him
