M-shell - 2009-09-06 10:43 AM My son had "family life" class in 5th grade. Now in 7th. So, that helped get the conversation going because they sent the book home a month early for the parents to read. I just added a few things I felt like he needed to know for where I thought he was in maturity. Some boys his age are more mature than he is, some less. I just tailored it to where I thought he was, left the door open for dialogue, and we've talked about some things a few times since. I think he would rather take a beating than talk to me about it, but I just want him to know he can come to me or dad with questions. Smartsexstuffforkids.com is a resource a friend of mine used for books.
My daughter had a "family life" class in 4th grade. She came home and informed she now knows EVERYTHING about sex. So I asked her, and her friend, to tell me all about it. There was a LOT that they told me that night but these highlights stick out most ...
My child: "the man and lady get naked. he climbs on top of her in the bed ....... "
Her pal: "OR THE KITCHEN TABLE
(giggle
). it's supposed to feel good or something. does it? i can't imagine it would."
Me: "well it is better than going to the dentist"
(hey, I was caught off guard
)
My child: " ... then they wiggle around and he does his business and when they are done the woman gets her clothes and goes home"
I could barely keep a straight face as they were being VERY serious. She is 13 now and denies she ever said this.
Sounds like Satruday nights in my single life.....I'd wiggle around and she'd get dressed and go home.
