at what age do you think you should talk to your children about the facts of life and how much should you tell them?

My daughter is 2 and fortunately hasn't had any questions about it yet.
I probably would start telling her about it the second pregnancy becomes an issue.


myLot reputation of 91/100. srhelmer (5595)  6 years ago

Oops, I didn't mean issue. I meant possibility.


myLot reputation of 98/100. grump0ne (656)  6 years ago

possibility...plans for more? thanks for response

i am not sure. My 5 year old wanted to know where babies came from so I told him the truth. He didn't believe me so we told him the stork brought them and he believed that.

Probaly 15 16


myLot reputation of 98/100. grump0ne (656)  6 years ago

But by than they have probably been around discussions about it and could be getting false info. from people. I think it should be earlier.like maybe 10-12 age range.

Well i think it is better to be early than to be late
Dont be too ardent towards talking about such things in a small age
start with an intermediate one


myLot reputation of 98/100. grump0ne (656)  6 years ago

yes, if your late you could be tooo late. and they have already learned somethings the hard way..thanks for response.

It is getting younger and younger, that's for sure! I would say around 9 years old is a good age. Depending on the area in which you live, it could be younger or older. Of course, you need to word the discussion at an age-appropriate level. Certain details, of course, can be left out for the younger kids.


myLot reputation of 98/100. grump0ne (656)  6 years ago

thats what i say...around 10 I think they are old enough to understand what you are telling them. much younger than that they will probably look at you and say huh....thanks for reply.

It isn't the big deal that some people tend to make it. We treat it like everything else, discussing it as it comes up.

Knowing how precoscious (sp?) my son is, it will most likely come up round first grade.

When your daughter comes home with a bun in the oven you need to explain to her that condoms are not just for pulling over your head and blowing up, then give her the address of the nearest welfare office.

My daughter is not gonna come home with a bun in the oven..she is well educated about the subject..thanks for reply

I'd say the 10-12 age. Before that they're too young to get it. After that... their friends have already told them. And you make think that their friends have "inaccurate" information but you'd be suprised. The younger generation is very internet savvy and know a lot more or their age than generations past.
