What’s all this talk about sex?

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Yes, even at 5 or 6, your little one may be inquiring about his/her privates. It’s important to be honest at this age without giving away more information than is being asked. Don’t over answer the question … just answer the question(s). They’ll ask more when they’re ready!

Also, be sure to instill with your child that the only one allowed to touch their privates are the doctor and the parent. No one else! 

Talk to your pediatrician if unsure how to approach these subjects with your kids…but please don’t refuse to answer because you can’t be sure who they’ll turn to next!
