How do I talk to my 10 yr old daughter about sex?

Question

We have 2 girls and the older one have never been exposed to the male anatomy. Where do I start?

Answer 1

do not worry. 10 years old girls in these days know more than you about sex. ask her to learn u something.

Answer 2

At 10 years of age, the talk need not contain illustrations. The best thing to do is sit her down and say, "You've probably heard things at school but I want you to have the real story." You also might want to make sure she knows that other parents should be talking to their own kids and not her. Make sure that she understands that sex is great but there are consequences and you can never assume that those consequences won't happen to you no matter how safe you think you're being. Also, ask her to speak with you - and let her know that you know this is a long time coming - when she thinks that she may start having sex. Keep the lines of communication open and let her know that she can talk to you about anything. Good luck.

Answer 3

Lots of good teaching books on the market; get one for her. She might not be ready to learn about sex yet. Is she asking? If she is, then keep it simple. Center the subject around love and babies and MARRIAGE. I admire you for trying to have this discussion with her cause sooner or later some kid at school will be telling her. You might want to start with explaining to her about her monthy period and that only girls have this, not boys...then you can go into the anatomy thing. You can also ask her teacher if they are going to learn anything about his in school anytime soon or suggest that they have a nurse come and talk to the kids about "Health". Good Luke, you're a great mom!

Answer 4

When your daughter starts asking questions, be honest (no matter how embarassing it may be). You can show her diagrams of the human anatomy and explain to her how it works. Explaining an erection might be sensitive, but if she's aware of what goes on, she won't be as curious, and she won't be shocked when the time comes (hopefully not for another ten or fifteen years).

Answer 5

I think you just have to sit down and be very open with her. Go to Barnes and Noble and have someone help you pick out a book that will explain the difference between boys and girls in a way that she can understand and sit down and read it together. I have a boy and a girl that are 18 months a part and are now ages 5 and 3. They still bathe together for now and I have explained to them their differences. I think the younger you start, the better. We are all human, and what better way for your daughter to learn than from conversations with her parents. Let her ask you questions, I think you'd be surprised what she knows already. My parents weren't very open with me, and I plan to be completely diferent with mine. Hope this helps.

With the obvious.. the talk...what sex is.. what the purpose is.. The worst thing you could do would be to scare her away from sex. It might seem like a good idea right now, but it's not the answer. Check out the sites below. There are likely some good tips for you.

Answer 8

dont be afraid to tell her about sex.......my friends told me about sex when i was in the 3rd grade.i always figured my mother would b scared to tell me .just tell your daughter in a way that won't make her get addicted to it as if she wants to have sex to soon.say it like this"sex is something that a man and a woman do when they have true feelings for eachother.it is only right to do this when both of them are ready to.(then you talk about how he puts his penis in the girls vagina and then.......)the male must use a condom when having sex to prevent any diseases and the woman from having a baby,or if they wanna have a baby they wont use the condom but they do have to go to the doctor too see if they are safe to have sex with.alot of times,sex can feel good but not for the wrong reasons.it is def. much better tod o it after your married.never let people pressure you and force you to have sex and never let boys trick you either.be the strong beautiful girl you are and wait for the right man.and think about who you do it with.you only get your virginity once in life............and once its gone...............you never get it back.=-) i hope that helped good luck!

Answer 9

First off, she is not too young to hear about, because more than likely she has heard a little about it at school. You can get a book from the school counselor or from your school's nurse. There is all kinds of information about it at the local library and possibly from your own doctor. They are never too young to hear about it. And you are the perfect person to tell her.

Answer 10

u tell them the truth about it educate them, dont leave out the desease parts either. tell them about what girls have what boys have what can cause pregnancy n diseases, n that they should come to u anytime to ask anything n if they ever feel like they are goin to like boys let u know so u can get them birthcontrol n that they should wait(they neva do so educate n give them protection) is all u can do
