my 5yo daughter know some things about sex and i don't know where she got from, what should we do?

Answer 1

This is a delicate matter.

First, ask her what she knows about sex. That will tell you where to start as far as any information on how to answer any questions she might have.

Secondly, ask her where she heard the information from.

Since she's five years old, her understanding will be limited, depending on what she has found out. I'm sure she'll have questions. The best you can do is describe things on her level of understanding without getting to elaborate at this young age.

If need be, there are also books for young children that might help. Most are about how a baby is born, but some might be appropriate if you need to use a book. And the book will be on a child's level of understanding.

Answer 2

the thing about it is that children, once exposed to the external environment, come in contact with people of myriad creed and races, therefore, it is impossible to sheild them from the hazards that present themselves.

this can be used as an opportunity to educate your daughter.
the thing about it is that if you don't, then someoe else will- as a matter of fact someone else has- and it might not be done in a way that you would approve of.

use this time to talk to her about the things that she needs to know and do everything in your power to encourage her to keep coming to you with questions.
this attitude will in turn foster a trusting relationship.
you have to be careful not to give her too much information so that she misinterprets what you are trying to say.

also you need to be aware of the fact that children can misunderstand what you ae trying to say very easily, so at all times use right terminology and avoid slangs and bias opinions.

at this age do not be too quick to volunteer information rather just be there to answer them when she asks.

if you find yourself unable to answer a question distract her temporarily but be sure to tell her the day and time u will answer it. this gives you time to find the answer.

most importantly ensure that all her questions are answered correctly because you do not want her thinking tht u do not know what u are talknig about. this will lead to her trying to find out from someone else.

good luck and HAVE FUN.

Answer 3

My first response to this is not a plesant one.
Is it possible that your daughter is being or about to be, or is in contact with some one being sexually abused?

The reason I jump to this situation first, is that it is that abusers will have "educated" their victims as to what they are going to do or are doing.
Talking to her calmly will be your next step. Asking her specific questions as to where she recieved this information. If it was from someone older than her I strongly urge you not to let her alone in this persons presence ever again. Whether it is a friend of yours or a teacher etc etc. Should it be another child or someone from her school etc etc. Contact that childs parents Immediately. Often victims of abuse will attempt to act out or talk about such abuse to others their own age in an attempt to normalize or relieve feelings of guilt.
The above may be something uncomfortable for you to consider, however the alternative is looking back at something that you may have been able to prevent.

Answer 4

I think you should first speak to her pediatrician. He/she will know the next step to take. My concern about you speaking with her first is that she might get confused or scared. The ped might suggest you take her to counseling where the specialize in this type of thing and can come to the truth without causing harm to your little girl. You could ask her (in a very calm, non excited everyday voice), "where did you hear that?" And see what she says. It might be something as simple as having seen a soap opera at the baby sitters.

Answer 5

wow, keep your eyes open wide. a child that age could very well of been molested by a family member.

Answer 6

try monitoring her during her school day and see who she encounters who could be sending this type of information..

Answer 7

Ask her.
