"Number one, kids don’t need to know about gay sex." I agree 100%, however, the fact is that kids don't need to know about ANY sex. Period. I am rearing my 10-year-old grandson (since he was 3 1/2).

"Number one, kids don’t need to know about gay sex." I agree 100%, however, the fact is that kids don't need to know about ANY sex. Period. I am rearing my 10-year-old grandson (since he was 3 1/2). I have already had the "talk" with him about "good touches/bad touches" and "stranger danger." I did so without having to explain adult sexual practices. When he reaches the age when he has the physical ability to procreate (when puberty hits and his body starts making sperm), I will have a good, long sit-down with him. Until then, he's just gonna be a kid. I am baffled and enraged by people, especially parents, who are so willing to rob children of their childhood by unnecessarily exposing them to what should be adult-only issues, whether it's pushing the kind of BS that Target is doing, taking their kids to drag shows, or allowing inappropriate reading material in our and middle school libraries. JMHO
Couldn't agree with you more. We are having that discussion in our house now because one of my friends (who is also a conservative mom) says that it's probably time to start having the talks (as she did with hers just this year prior to middle school) in order to establish trust and so her daughter would come to her as opposed to strangers. So we're buying the right books and trying to weigh out the right time. She's 10, so I think we still have time - and I definitely don't want to rush and take away that innocence (we still believe in Santa in this house)...but I am also wanting to be sure she hears it from us and not kids at school.
Yeah, depending on the school, you’re probably right on time. Unfortunately.
But it can be discussed in such a beautiful way that honors and respects this natural, God-designed biology and act. God designed our bodies for these purposes, for growing and nurturing a new life. For expressing love to one’s spouse, and experiencing love in return.
The only reason we consider it taking away innocence is because of how distorted it has been, how abused it has been.
I had a talk of sorts with ours at a relatively young age when ours was adamantly persistent in asking questions related to why everyone has to have a mom and a dad. He had a friend who doesn’t know his dad, so at that age, ours assumed the friend had only a mom.
So, one vague answer led to another question, with more vague answers that didn’t satisfy. Then slightly less vague answers. Then queries as to, well, how does the dad’s contribution get into the mom? Ours already knew that babies grow in a special place God made for such purpose, inside mom.
So amid awkward giggles and embarrassment, the simple answer was provided.
Next day on the way to school, ours was trying to understand how, then, did twins happen. Haha.
Obviously there is much more to be said than that, and presumably my husband will be having that conversation in the next year or two. 🤷🏼♀️
I recommend passport to purity. It’s a great way to get ahead of the information they learn in school. Where we are, school starts talking about it in the 4th grade, which is 10.
