Hmm...I would say to wait some more. My daughter is turning 6 in a couple of months and I can't imagine having that conversation with her. BUT, someone earlier mentioned that when she starts asking questions that it might be a good time. Well, my daughter in the past year has asked me A LOT of questions which I had trouble answering from how do babies get into the tummies, how do they get out, why me and dad always have to sleep together, about marriage, do you have babies right away etc etc....I can go on and on! No clue where all of this came from...I guess she sees things on TV, in life, family stuff, school, friends and gets curious. But even though she's asked me all this stuff I still don't think it's time to go into detail. I still give the silly answers but I don't think I would feel comfortable her knowing this stuff already. I think it might gross her out knowing how babies get delivered and how they get conceived. I think I would traumatize her if I told her that her daddy puts his penis into mommys vagina. LOL She already thinks her little brother's penis is gross, I can just imagine what she would think if I told her what sex was all about. Something I definitely think she does not need to know about yet. I have no clue when to start either...I guess that will come with time. I do remember when I was in grade 5 though that we has sex education at school so I was like 10. She might learn this stuff earlier than I'd like due to friends, and when she does I hope she feels comfortable enough coming to me with it. Something tells me she won't though. I try and talk to her a lot right now and explain things to her so I hope we can keep this kind of relationship going. =)

It's best to talk about it when she's ready. You'll know she's ready because she will start asking questions like "Where do babies come from?" or "Why do married people sleep in the same bed?". Wait for her to be curious, then answer truthfully.
Believe it or not a great resource is the Cartoon Book of Sex. Buy a copy and keep it on hand for when your daughter starts asking.

It may be a good time to talk to her if she is asking a lot of questions about where babies come from. Also, you might want to make sure she is able to communicate with you honestly in the fiuture concerning sex. It may be a good time to talk about sex abuse as well. She needs to know the subject is not taboo.

Why would you want to take here innocents away from her? Kid's don't need to hear about sex until they are in puberty! I would say around 13 or so now days. Let her be a little girl kids grow up faster then they need to already.

Unfortunately there is no guide on how early is too early. If your daughter is asking questions then it is best to talk to her about them, ie you do not want her scared if she sees you and daddy/mommy. Of course the intimate details can wait but she is bound to be curious. Don't beat yourself up over it no one really knows the exact age to let a child know. Just be up front and prepared for all her questions. Try to be honest too, lying can back fire.

6 is way to young to know about sex. My son is 9 and we still haven't spoken to him about sex.
You should explain about her body and how special it is and that it's private for her and that other people shouldn't be aloud to touch or ask to see her special places. This is important obviously so you can protect her against predators but you shouldn't be explaining sex to her.
Wait for her. She'll come to you when she's curious.
Sheesh.... You took my breath away with this question.

Sorry i feel that at that age it is a bit to young to talk to her about sex. Maybe a talk about strangers would suit her better... Remind yourself at what age did your parents tell you about the birds and the bees ? i feel at the age of 12 - 14 yrs would be the right time

Yes there are some things that need to be talked about. She needs to know the difference between boys and girls and she needs to know safty and to tell you if anyone ever touches her. But as for as knowing the actual sexual process, I think it she is much to young to know at this point. Secound grade at most.

NO WAY! She is still a very young innocent child. Wait till she matures, BUT let her know that nobody should ever touch her private body parts and to let her know that she can always talk to mommy if anyone ever does.
