what is the right age to talk about sex to you kids?

Answer 1

Maybe about 9 you need to tell them when their friends are starting to know. But if you tell them to early they might go telling other kids and that would be bad. When I was in school people started knowing in the 4th grade.

Answer 2

When your kids ask you, whatever age that is just tell them the truth. I asked my mom at 3 or 4 where babies came from and she told me. Don't get technical or scientific, just tell them in an appropriate way that you feel they will understand and won't scare them. Sex education or Puberty Education should start younger in my opinion. 9th Grade Health class was a little late for most of the girls in my class. Knowing all the facts (not the stuff on he street) should really happen in 4th or 5th grade. Kids need to know whats going on with their bodies BEFORE it happens, and whats going to come next. Good Luck!

Answer 3

I dont think that there is a 'right' age. I think that you should always talk about sex to your kids and keep it in an open discussion that way they feel more comfortable hearing you talk about it, and it doesnt seem like something that you "hide" talking about. By the time kids are in the 6th grade, they already know the basics. By that time, you should already be having open conversations about safe sex, and abstinence.

Answer 4

Whenever the child is asking questions they need to be answered with answers appropriate for the childs age.
If a 4yr old asks "Where do babies come from",obviously the age of 4 is too young to understand a detailed answer so something like "God put it there" is an appropriate answer.
Now if a 10yr old asks the same question,a more detailed answer might be appropriate and depending on that childs ability to understand more needs to be determined by yourself. . .and if you can give them more details then go for it.
Children are becoming sexually active at earlier ages than they use to and it is very important to give them the education they need as soon as they can emotionally/mentally handle it so that when the topic comes up amongst themselves and their peers they will be able to make infomed decisions.

Answer 5

It depends , they say when they start asking !! If that's the case all preschoolers would know more than they should ,! Talk to them about sex > make sure you answer just enough for there satisfaction, and know more// depending on age and tell the truth ,,, learning from the street can be very unhealthy to say the least !!!!

Answer 6

I belive every child is different and matures at a different rate. I believe it is like 5th or 6th grade where they do the programs for the students about their bodies and sex. Use common sense and good judgement

Answer 7

depends on how emotionally mature they are. My mom told us about sex when I was 6 (my sister was 7). I think you definitely need to talk to them before their friends start talking about it. Better to have the correct info when all the rumors start flying

Answer 8

As soon as they start asking questions or displaying questionable behavior.
Keep the really detailed story for about 10 to 12.

Answer 9

7th grade

Answer 10

any time is good, it depends what you answer.
