i duno how to start tooKS_me:
Hi All mummies,
Just realised there's this group created. Was reading the earlier post. I'm a very cautious mum who will do whatever it takes to prevent DS expose to all this sex thingy since young. I read somewhere that some parent had started talking to the P4 about sex and I seriously have no clue how to begin..
are you one of those?
when the class did something about life cycle in science and talking about fertilised egg, my boy said he asked the science teacher how did the egg get fertilised. then he didn't go on to tell me what the teacher told him cos he just kept laughing
that the teacher mentioned the male reproduction organ.
My DH asking did he really know what he told me.I said I scared to ask,if I ask it will be more curious to him.I don't know how to handle.I read somewhere in KSP,I think in bird and bee thread,there is a book for about our body changes.
P1 onwards i have been talking about this,I asked what the T told in ur health education class.He told me that they cannot touch in the girl's chest area.I heard that earlier we start is good.cos it is easy to communicate.Now also I planned to ask what is ur T teach in ur HE class.Once he told me then it will be easier to continue.
If we didn't discuss they will get info from friends and get bad influenced.so better parents be the friends of them.Phycologist advised like that.I watched in a TV show.Yesterday I talked to a friend,she said she didn't and doesn't want.Her face turned :oops: -

the book name is
Babette Cole's Mommy laid an egg\". the pictures are drawn in such a manner that you or your children will not be embarrassed when talking about the subject. -
I found the following useful,
General suggestions
Suggestions on talking to your preteen about sexual issues include:
Don’t wait for your child to ask questions. If they haven’t said anything to you by the time they are 10, it is likely that shyness or embarrassment will stop them from this point on.
Some children may feel more modest by age six and might want privacy in the bathroom. This is a good chance to make sure they know that they can say ‘no’ to touching that they do not want.
Masturbation is normal and healthy for children and may start long before puberty begins. Children just need to know that it is something to do in private.
Many parents begin to talk about conception when their children are still pre-schoolers. Certainly it is important to start the conversation by the time they are eight or nine. If your child hasn’t asked, you could try starting with a question such as: ‘Have you ever wondered how you were born?’ Look for opportunities to introduce the conversation – for example, you may choose to use a book or to comment on a pregnant relative.
Some girls will begin breast development and periods at age eight. By age nine, start a conversation with boys and girls about ‘growing up’ and changing bodies.
Don’t assume that the lengthy talks you have already had have stuck. You will need to go back to topics (in fact, this is the best way to create open communication).
Make sure your child knows who they can talk to about embarrassing personal ‘stuff’. Talk with them about who they would talk to if they needed an adult’s ear but were reluctant to come to you.
Find out what sexuality education your child’s primary school provides and support them in the provision of age-appropriate information.

Hello everybody. kids these days mature faster than wat we think age appropriate…i started my kids on the sex topic quite early as i realised kids do discuss these issues in school amongst themselves…n they have very cute and false ideas…so best to correct them…n i always tell them to get back to me to find out anything as their frens wouldnt have the accurate information…dont want them walking ard wif contorted ideas on the birds and the bees.

I really envy you ladies who can start the topic so easily. I actually told DH to start it with DS but DH said too early but I know it well that I must start this year somehow because DS last year (P3) did share something like who had a crush with who in the school… and most of these started by Girls probably due to girl mature faster.
Thank you for sharing. I think I should too start the ball rolling from Health Education and the recommended book too!
Shall share again the progress… -
By the way, i would like to ask mummies here if you have any good private guitar instructor to recommend? I exposed DS1 to guitar when he was P2 but due to small build at that time, he can't hold the guitar well so I stopped him. Now, he's P4. I want him to pick up again. Hope he can have a hobby that can soothe himself and calm himself. Especially he's preparing for PSLE years to come. However due to the school busy schedule, it's quite time wasting if I were to send him to group lesson, thus prefer pte instructor.
Please let me know if you have someone to recommend. Thanks! -
Gd morning 2002!
I couldn't progress further,something stop me.What qns I can ask?Which one I cannot ask?How?How much?SO i need to educate me first. I didn't think this much early i needed this topic.I heard from a phycologist in the TV Talk show that we no need to explain the mechanism of the sex.But we need to talk about unwanted pregnancies,HIV diseases.Whenever I have opportunities I told to my son which is right and wrong,e.g - watching TV programmes.
After I heard,now I stopped running and listening other classmates.Asked him to read story books whenever T is not around,If someone disturb then tell to T.Now everyone knows that he will inform to the T.Yesterday reported about the boy who has been bulling my son.If my son keep quite he pull my son's pant.After reporting,no chance to listen these stories.
