[...] My friend Heather over at Desperately Seeking Sanity posted awhile ago (I had this post all prepared but forgot to publish it so figured I’d go ahead and share it) about an issue that she was having to deal with that involves her first grade daughter and a boy on the bus.

I can’t even imagine having to have that talk this young. When I learned “the facts” I was 11 (going into sixth grade at the middle school) and my mom told me because she figured there would be talk about it at school. I was so clueless! And yet I wonder if my daughter will still be clueless at that age!

Good luck – I’ll be praying for you.

Ouch what a touchy subject! And I can’t believe how much young kids these days know. When I was in 1st grade I knew nothing about sex!

Glad that I’m not the one in your shoes!

I have a hard time talking about sex w/ my kids, so I’d wait for questions personally. Both of mine know what it is though. My oldest is almost 10, so her friends told my 6 year old what it is & even proceeded to show her by “humping a pole” in my sweet little 6 year olds word. She was 5 at the time. I also get to hear all about who has crushes & who likes who, etc. Has been going on since both mine were in Kindergarten. Kids know a lot these days. We had a 5th grade parent meeting yesterday & one of the moms was concerned about the upcoming talks with the kids. She was worried for her son, I had to laugh because the kids now know so much more then they learn at the school talks, lol. Oh & I would probably mention it to the school. No girl deserves to be spoken too like that especially at the young age. That boy could be headed for trouble & his parents may not even realize it. Good luck & sorry you are going through this!

oh my – i had to have this conversation when they were young too 1st and 2nd grade.

i think it was better for them to hear about it from me so that they got the truth and it set an example that i would be there to talk to them in the future as they get older. truthfully though, all i wanted to do was hide under the table.

if you decide to talk to her. 1)let her lead the conversation, ask her if she has any questions about what that boy said, she already knows that ‘sex’ is not something to talk about. 2) keep it as simple as possible 3) let this or any other time you have the conversation be an opportunity to let you mold their little minds and to pass on the values and idea that are important to you.

oh yeah and try really hard not to smack that kid when you see him. one boy called my daughter the “B” word right in front of me and oh man did i almost lose it!!!

i am so sorry – GOOD LUCK

I remember when my son came home from his 2nd grade class and told me that his classmate told him he wanted to F- another girl in the class. I was shocked. I asked my son if he knew what the boy meant and he sheepishly said he did. I had “the talk” with my son just to be sure. He didn’t have a clue. He just thought he knew.

My husband was convinced this kid heard his dad or older brother making that statement and didn’t know what he was talking about, but you never know these days.

Seriously? This really reminds you that the world is such an ugly place sometimes. I’m so sorry that you and your children had to go through this at such an early age.

When my daughter was in grade school. I think it was 2nd grade. This boy told her she could get pregnant if she sat on his lap and kissed him. So of course she comes home to ‘verify’ if this was the truth or not. DA HELLZ??????????? Is right.

I had to have the ‘talk’ with My sweet innocent baby girl. It killed me. KILLED me. And we had a very lovely conversation at the school the next day too.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep us posted.
