Every child is different. My daughter matured emotionally very young. She is 10 now, almost 11 and she knows more than the middle school children I teach. I am a health teacher, and my daughter asks alot of questions giving me the opportunity to teach her many things. She already is aware of STD's, oral sex (80% of middle schoolers are doing this), teen pregnancy issues, and of course the basics of reproduction. I wanted her to hear the correct information from me, before she learned the wrong info at school. Worse yet, I didn't want her to learn from experience like i did. When a child asks questions, answer them as honestly as you can with what is still age appropriate so they understand. Then build on it from there. My daugher asked her first sex question at 6, so I have been building for the last 4 years.

relationship?? as in surely going and doing stuff? call me previous formed yet my husband and that i desperate our daughter isn't relationship til she's sixteen. era. i think like that's an outstanding mature age to start up the completed relationship component. i'm confident this answer isn't gonna be the well known. 12 or 13 for me is whilst the guy comes over and hangs out w/ my daughter and that they communicate on the telephone or they bypass someplace chaperoned. i don't consider letting little ones start up entering into severe circumstances at a youthful age. so a techniques as telling your mom? I dunno... relies upon on how open minded she is? you're able to say you have a chum who's a boy and want him to loaf around w/ you on the abode? or if she's way cool approximately it, then in basic terms tell her you have a b/f. OR have him meet your mom first, see how she likes him and then tell her. yet do not hide it at the back of her returned cuz then she might make you wait til your older.

I have a 14 yr old DD and I have had the conversation with her since she was 10. I just felt preparation was best for her. I spoke with her about tampons, pads and seeing the gyn. She is confident now that when she gets her AF she can come talk to me, and actually she is anticipating her AF arrival.
So I would say "open the lines of communications"...Mother Daughter bonds are great if you can help them along.

my daugher is only 21 months old, but I'll be telling her before I know it. I think it's important to have these talks early. My oldest is nearly 8 now, and he knows the basics of human antatomy, and reproduction. I do NOT want him hearing these things at school, from a kid that has an older brother! I want him to have the facts, the truth, and I want it to come from me and his father. I'm sure that my daughter will be informed about a woman's cycle around 6 or so. I want her to know, before someone else tells her!

My mother told me really early on. I can rember being a pre schooler and reading the book, Where did I come from. It may have been early but her point was that she wanted me to know and understand what was going to happen to me, before it happened. I waited until my boys were 8 to discuss puberty and the sex talk came at 10. Keeping in mind that an 11 year old girl at one of our local schools was pregnent.

It is good to tell girls what to expect well before it happens. I have a niece who was 10 years old when she got her period. I talked to her and her younger sister together about it, and bought them both a supply of pads and tampons to keep "just in case" - before either of them got their period. I think you want to wait until they are old enough to understand, but not so long that it has already happened. It can be scary, if you don't know that it is coming or what to expect. The result for me was two girls who were prepared, feel like they can talk to me about anything, and a sister who was grateful she didn't have to have the conversation :) Good luck!

Well, I have three girls and we started with just the basics when they were 5 & 3 and I was pregnant with #3. We had little talks now and again as they walked in on me in the bathroom (no privacy in a household full of women!) I always keep it simple, honest and as "non-gross" as possible. When my oldest had her first peroid it was "no big deal" for her. I am sure it will be the same for the next two.

I knew about it by the time I was 8. We learned it in school and then my mom told me the basics, and I got it and understood. Tell them as early as possible when you think they will understand it and grasp it. "Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed." I got my period at 9. You need to let them know ASAP. Girls should have knowledge.
