Guest guest Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hi everyone this is way off topic. I need some personal advise. My daughter just turned 12, I have been told by a few of mothers all with children way younger mine, that I need to be talking to her about mechanics of having sex. Any words of wisdom?

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 She's probably heard things from other sources already...I would want to try to find out what she knows first to correct any misinformation. I love the books by Robie . " It's Not the Stork " is for younger kids. Haven't checked out " It's So Amazing " but that's his book for 7 and up. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Plus, with a mom who works with pregnant and new moms, I bet she has picked up a lot from you! Which is good, because what she absorbs from you will come in the context of your own moral code.My kids (7 & 11) have know the mechanics of sex since preschool, but I've clued them in to the other aspects of it only as they have asked or it has come up naturally. Which it does pretty regularly.Lynn in MO She's probably heard things from other sources already...I would want to try to find out what she knows first to correct any misinformation.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 She and her brother watched me give birth. So they know how babies get out they just don't know how they get in. They know what periods are and why women have them. I just don't even know where to begin this conversation with them. But I bet they know more than I think they do. I'm going to check out those books. Thanks, Elaine Sent from my, very fine line between " hobby " and " mental illness " , iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 This book is great; it relates the sperm fertilizing the egg to plants and animals. Not so much about the actual mechanics, though. http://www.amazon.com/How-Babies-Made--Schepp/dp/0316042277/ref=sr_1_1?ie=\ UTF8 & qid=1323791796 & sr=8-1 This book deals with the fact that we do feel embarrassed as parents, and brings out the myths surrounding where babies " come from, " without getting too technical http://www.amazon.com/Where-Did-Come-Nonsense-Illustrations/dp/071811275X/ref=sr\ _1_4?s=books & ie=UTF8 & qid=1323791954 & sr=1-4 Nadja Catano, M.A., IBCLC > > I like this book a lot: > > http://www.amazon.com/Talk-What-Your-Kids-About/dp/158333310X > > Ana > > Ana Estorino Uribasterra, BA, MFA, IBCLC > www.lovingstartlactationservices.com > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
