How to talk to your 8 yr. old about sex and abuse she asking questions and i was abuse as kid dont want her 2?

Answer 1

You really need to teach her the difference between good and bad touches because it is up to us mothers to protect our babies from the pervs that are in this world. If she knows the difference she can tell you immediatley if someone makes her feel uncomfortable, be measurably truthful with her.

Answer 2

Change the subject or say something else, or tell her to speak up and then ignore her for a little bit until she gets bored. She's only eight, and seriously, she can hear the "where babies come from" story, but she's too young to learn about sex, and sexual abuse. Wait until she's in Grade 5 - Grade 6. If she's not learning Sex Ed at school by that age, start to teach her. I learnt Sex Ed in grade five at my old school. I'm now in Grade Nine. GL...

Answer 3

at 8 years old you don't need to go into full blown details about sex but you can explain the basics like what the parts are called. When it comes to abuse you should tell her that no matter what happens she should come to you and tell you if someone bothers her or apporaches her or touches her. Explain good touches and bad touches and that anything that makes her feel uncomfortable or scared she should tell you. Good luck with that talk. It just sucks that we live in a world where we have to worry about our children's sexual safety.

Answer 4

There is video on this subject called "Strong Kids/Safe Kids" .
I rented it at the local video store when my kids were around 5 years old but It is suitable for kids of all ages.
It explains the differences between good touches and bad touches and also helps kids identify behaviors that are inappropriate between adults and kids. It is done in good taste and its easy for kids to understand. It doesn't scare or confuse. I feel my kids were empowered by it. Henry Winkler "Fonzie" is the spoke person. It is very well done.
You should watch it with them and then discuss it afterward. Worked for me. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

The first thing you need to let your child of 8yrs to know is, tell him or her that sex was created by God and that He also put down the conditions on how the sex should be used.Tell him or her that there are also consequences when sex is illegally used. Talk of the consequences like veniral deseases and AIDS.

Answer 6

i have an eight year old too and i think it is really important to tell her that it is ok to tell an adult no. teach her right from wrong and tell her to say no to an adult that asks her to do something wrong. they say abusers "groom" their victim and get them to think they are part of the decision to be sexual. tell her her parts are private-dont tell her about your abuse until she is much older-like 20 or 25 even.
