We always answered our dd's questions honestly but without going overboard on the info, using the correct terms. She asked where the baby grew....a place called a vagina...that's all she wanted to know....and we didn't elobrate. When she asked point blank....that's when we supplied more information.
And to you gals with daughters...let me suggest a terrific book for them. It's "the care and keeping of you" by American Girl. It covers developing bodies, pimples, friends, etc. All the information is geared toward girls. I got it for my dd when she was in fifth grade, because I "started" by 6th and wanted to prepare her "if and when". Also told her if "it" happened at school, she should tell a woman because all of us were there at one time or another.....at the time she had a male teacher in the morning and a woman in the afternoon. She asked me if it happened could she wait until she went to the woman's class. I told her to tell Mr. P that she needed to go to the nurse. She insisted he'd want to know why. I said just tell him it's personal, that he knew about girls having periods, and wouldn't ask questions. She asked how he knew. I said he's married. Her reply....do ya think his WIFE told him. I just laughed and said hmmm, yea
Any way you can find the book at Target or Amazon. She and I read it together and sometimes she'd tell me she "looked" something up in it. She keep checking that boob growth stage....LOL.
