Today my 6 year old came home from school talking about a discussion she had with some of her peers...... it was about who they were going to have sex with!!!! Holy crap!! When asked what that meant she said that it was "strip naked, get into bed and kiss" so she has been given some info..... but from WHERE??? I was totally gob-smacked!!! She said she kept saying no, which was good.
I told her she had done the right thing by telling me, and having no secrets (apparantly it was meant to be a secret), and that no one should see her naked, and that it was an inappropriate thing for children to talk about.
I thought i still had a few years before I was going to have to discuss this with my daughter!!! What is this world coming too!!!! What are other kids learning at home? or watching on tv???
advice please
Nothing's new Barbie, even back when I was a 6year old, kids were that informed, all I can say is you had a very sheltered childhood.
Don't give the poor kid hang ups about sex, it's not evil it's natural.
Kids are very inquisitive, if adults seem to be making a secret or a big deal out of something, that makes it all the more interesting.
About 2 months ago I went to daycare to pick up my sons. When I got there, I was pulled aside by one of the teachers who told me that my oldest son (5) and his friend (also 5) had to be separated and both be put into timeout because they were "exposing themselves" and basically "measuring/comparing" their dinkles. I was a tad upset by this (to say the least) especially with all the talk recently about young kids being accused of sexual assault at daycare centres and in primary schools.
When we got home my husband spoke to my son and told him that what he was doing was wrong and he could get into very big trouble for doing things like that.
And now, Just recently, my youngest (2), has started to try and put his "doodle" on us whenever he gets out of the shower. As funny as it is (because he runs around the house holding himself and yelling out "doodle") we are trying to stop this kind of behaviour.
Unfortunately Barbie, I am guessing this is all just part of growing up. And these days anyway, kids seem to be growing up too fast.
My only advice to you would be to just let your daughter know that she can talk to you (like you seem to already be doing) and just instill strong morals in her.
Good Luck..... this is the kind of thing that makes me glad I have two boys.
I think i got "the talk" in yr 2 or 3. So thats 6,7 or 8yrs old about. It must be a weird conversation for a parent to have. But i guess its probably better than them finding out off the tv, or off some friend of theirs, and getting it all confused about whats right/wrong etc.
Sounds like kids being kids to me.
I found my dad's Playboy stash when I was about 7 and HOLEY SMOKES!!!
I'm normal.
SPeaking of normal/not normal anybody watching this show on SBS about women who fall in love with objects? Objects like bridges or fences or trucks and amusement park rides. I am watching a woman passionately kiss a fence in her bedroom. Serious. There's another married to the berlin wall.
That is weird (and amusing).
Not Sure DP....... I just grabbed my kids and got them hme pretty quickly. (I was a bit embarrassed by the whole thing)
I think however, my Husband asked (to try and cheer my son up because he was getting really upset)
Sheesh Barbie - that is a bit of a worry. Not because of the curiosity or even the low age but more the competitive and sneaky angle that one of the peers has created. Geez 6 is young though. 
No doubt the kid(s) that have fostered this behaviour are the 'alpha' kids and most likely have older siblings so have been exposed to a fair bit more of this stuff so far. Pretty hard to avoid (or find the source) these sort of things.
Best bet is to get the nipper into kiting so they don't think about anything else 
evil panda my uncle gave me his entire stash to burn when i was 12 apparently I'm not normal because that nostalgia trip makes me want to see hair understand now kids are born adult ?? have no attention span teach ,them talk to them straight & explain will its a funny adult joke they are not up for that yet then show them a coin trick & i bet that's what they will be bursting to show there friends the next day
when you get to 6 years of age, you start thinking that you didn't come from a cabbage and have to find out where you must come from..
Yeah I watched a bit of that to, I thought it was a comedy at first as it was so serious, the large women who fell in love with the show machine, a large mechanical swinging beast in Germany that swings people into the air, got me, she explained it was its shape, its sound, and its beauty that had her hooked, she also remarked how she wanted to expereinces its "juices" which she proceded to do while licking a weeping grease nipple and smearing the grease over her face and body. She climaxed. While this was being filmed her friend, (another objectionist sexual) had found a fence that she fancied and proceeded to hump it. Strange stuff.
What's not to love?
Their objects of affection always stand to attention, never leave them, never bring home other objects, self lubricate, etc etc..
Nah... that's just some whickidy whakedy sh!t there my good man!?
Like to see the lady attempt to get her fence/partner onto the work crissy party river cruise though!! Could be handy for the limbo though?
Bl00dy SBS always show these engrossing (and some times gross) docos after nighty night time. They are mostly fascinating and just when you are ready for the land of nod, they grab you - then 2 hrs later you are educated in the (bizarre) ways of the world but ultimately 2 hrs short of kip! Grrr...[}:)]
