Good luck! I would rather have my girls hear all this from me and not from kids at school.Emily Callhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923531244611545077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180089555936782840.post-80537696548929245782010-03-24T22:00:05.669-07:002010-03-24T22:00:05.669-07:00Haha, I remember the first time I heard anything a...Haha, I remember the first time I heard anything about that sort of thing. I was about Jonah's age and my friend told me that to make a baby the Mom and Dad had to get in bed together....... NAKED!!! I honestly did not believe her. I didn't have any other idea on how that all happened, I just knew there was no way it could be true! I don't remember ever wondering or asking any questions before or after that.John and Maren Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02794910678175800833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180089555936782840.post-25354331864305365012010-03-24T21:53:25.898-07:002010-03-24T21:53:25.898-07:00And see, I think 8 is too late to be finding out a...And see, I think 8 is too late to be finding out about this stuff. I'm acutely aware of how much information comes from peers, and I want to be sure the information he's getting is the *right* information -- not some skewed Hollywood version of sex or sexuality. I think at this point in a child's life, the dialogue should be open, but somewhat clinical. There's plenty of time to get into the emotion behind it later. My problem is that in my eyes, he's still the little baby that gave me my first stretch mark (TMI?). I look around at what the world has to offer these days and I want to get all mama-bear on him and keep him safe and innocent forever and ever. Of course that goes against my ultimate role as a parent, but its still the desire of heart. He's very young, very immature for his age. Smart as a whip, but young. And I wish he'd stay that way forever. Both of them. <br /><br />But yes, it should be Tyler that gets into male specifics. I'll probably have my ear up against the door just to make sure he's getting all the info I think he needs to be happy, confident, and appropriately informed...Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259139217532963781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180089555936782840.post-33466410465053550452010-03-24T20:53:43.857-07:002010-03-24T20:53:43.857-07:00I say let the dad explain the things that pertain ...I say let the dad explain the things that pertain to being a male. As for age, Mormons feel that a person is accountable starting at age 8, so why not then? If questions occur before then, they should be answered openly and honestly, though to what level and depth should be determined by you and your husband. If a child senses that you are uncomfortable with the subject matter, then they will think there is something wrong/bad/inappropriate, which is not the case. It is a sensitive subject because it is such a personal part of who we are individually.Jason Hosfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06049814966732568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180089555936782840.post-70976239972748162322010-03-24T20:46:42.198-07:002010-03-24T20:46:42.198-07:00LOL oh gosh, i'm not looking forward to this. ...LOL oh gosh, i'm not looking forward to this. on the other hand, my boys are still convinced i, too, have a penis, no matter how many times i insist i have a vagina. and i only stuttered a little bit when henry finally asked me what a vagina looked like.Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08977963955208219099noreply@blogger.com
