My 11 yr old daughter was walking with me in a store and while passing the mens p.j. section she said outloud "oh mom look how cute these say do you want my big bone" The pants had a very cute puppy on them holding a large bone in "the spot". Now while it was too funny to me because of her sweet innocence and her excitement, I'm wandering when do I tell her about what these things mean...How bad would it be for her at school to repeat the big bone joke?

Mommy? How sweet of you to ask this question because you care enough to ask. Actually, odds are, it probably won't happen again. She meant it in a totally innocent way. You know that. That is all that matters. To hell with what any other folks within earshot thought. Let her hold on to her innocence as long as she can. Everything else will be learned too soon as it is. Bless your heart and hers. You know what she meant. that is all that matters.

i don't think she will repeat that at school.what i'm sure of is that she will hear many things about "the subject" from her classmates and friends,because at this age they begin to see things differently.rather you wait for her to grow-up and learn things the way she hears it in school,or you start telling her about relationships,the difference between man and woman,especially on the social part,not sexual.it's better that you ask her tricky questions to see how she answers,so you can tell if she has an interest there.you must be her BEST FRIEND.you must go down on her level sometimes and listen to her carefully.so then she will never see you like a teacher and hide from you.

I don't believe there is any "correct" age--it is all dependent on the childs maturity level and ability to comprehend. My daughter is about to be 5 and I am 41.5 weeks pregnant and while it's been rough deciding how and which questions to answer, we've done a good job at helping her understand. In fact, we feel she is mature enough to be in the delivery room with me and she will be--however, every child is different.

Depends, as a child the innocence is just a child seeing, but if you tell here that its for a specific reason, then she will always look at it like that approch it in a way of being cute, then in her older years shell see it in her own way

It's time to tell her. She will learn these things from her friends so you have to ask yourself do you want her to have all of the facts as you know them or to have the facts her fellow students will give her? You can guide her and have an open relationship in which she feels comfortable talking to you about such things if you take this opportunity. Good luck

Is it ok which you would be able to sleep on your mattress, consume the nutrition from the refrigerator, and characteristic your mom doing all your laundry? you reside in that kin and you need to do your share of the artwork that ought to be performed. Your mom and pa gave up their rights to "do their very own ingredient" as a fashion to develop you and your brother and sister. you will have a life-time of your man or woman once you're sufficiently previous to pass out and help your self. then you definately can do what you want - till then you definately ought to make a contribution to the wellbeing of your loved ones via doing all your share of the artwork.

IF AN ADULT HEARD HER, IT COULD BE PRETTY BAD.
