Answer 1

I was told in second grade. This might be far too young for some kids, but I've always been more mature than most kids my age, simply saying. The reason for the conversation was that I had heard some kids at school talking about their older cousin of 11 wanting to have sex with another girl his age. None of us had any clue what sex was, so I went home and asked my mom. She told my dad, and thus our talk about puberty and what sex was occurred.
These days, kids are hearing things younger and younger and are going to learn whether or not you teach them. Schools also usually begin with puberty talks in fifth grade, at least my school did.
When my parents first talked to me about puberty, they told be the basics of changes in the body, and the differences in changes between boys and girls. They also told me what sex was, and gave me the GENERAL BASICS and no more. They gave me the medical of tab a in slot b, but nothing more than a baby is then born.
If I were you, I would ask your kids individually if they have any questions about their bodies. Then, branch off into the topics of puberty etc. Don't just jump into it though, try and find something that could kick off your conversation.

Best of wishes, and good luck!

Answer 2

I'm a girl. My mom gave me the puberty talk when I was 13. Just about two weeks before I got my period. She's very overprotective and thought that I would never find out about things until she tells me. (I'm homeschooled...but I mean, I have friends and we do talk!) So yeah, I pretty much knew about *everything* when I was 11, almost 12. I would say, have the talk when they're 10 or 11. That way they will get the real answers from you and not from some kid at school.

Answer 3

I would tell the child once it hit puberty.
Get on the net and do research and print out stuff. Be honest with your child about about everything. About sex and the consiquences that come with it such as pregnancy and stds. Tell them about the changes that are going to happen now and that there entering a special time in there life and growing to younge adults. Answers any questions that they have and be straight forward and honest cuz if they find out at school it may not be right. And just talk to them.

Answer 4

It was 11 for my daughter. I thought I had till about age 13, but she developed early, so I had to tell her about it well before I thought I would. I also purchased two books for her titled:
The Body Book - It's a God Thing
and
The Beauty Book - It's a God Thing
written by Nancy Rue.
The books cover everything in an appropriate manner. Those books have been lifesavers!

My son is 18 now and I'm a single mom.His dad died so I had to do it myself.If they have a father then he should do it.If not then I'll tell u how I did it. I did it alittle at a time. If he saw something on t.v I would tell what was going on.I said making love alot.I didn't tell him what they did until he was 13 and curious.Then I got him a book with pictures. I explain to him with the right words not pee pee or booty. I did it in away that gave him imformation but didn't embarass him.So between me and his friends he seem to learn. I was never embarassed telling him things and that made him more comfortable in coming to me with questions. As for girls..Geee I wish u all the luck. I would keep her lock in her room until she was 20.hahahahaha Good luck
