sexual knowledge age

Hi, heres my delema,

My daughter is only 6 yrs old, and has been caught acting in a sexual manner, (fully clothed)   and I have no idea where sher has come to obtain this information, Im very wary as to what my children watch on tv, but it has not seemed to stop what she is  learning.

She did start school so im not sure whether she is getting her information there. ( I have asked her and all she tells me is her friends show her) The other thing is she has a very good memory, so I dont know how to  get her to forget it or how to explian it to a child her age, 

anyone got any suggestions,  Im scared this type of thing will affect her in a bad way in the future

Re: sexual knowledge age

I went through that as well, I took them to see some one ,and they all said, do not pay attention to what they are doing. The reason is, because it is like they swear they get into trouble,so there fore you say do not swear. you are paying a attention to them, so the next time your little girls that. walk away , give yourself time to get into another room and call out to her, and sit down and play or have a snack. this is not rewarding her, it is to get her mind of what she was doing. And this my take a couple time, but she will stop doing what she is doing. I hope that helps.

Re: sexual knowledge age

School is a place of learning and unfortunately ((maybe), makes it easier to explain the Birds and Bees), to much learning, Im sure the teachers would be quick off the mark to say, 'I didnt teach them that!!!'. Still kids are clever and it shows how little credit we give our children, because if they didnt know it was wrong they wouldnt tell us about it. Kids just source out if the parents think it ok.

My daughter (6), tells me things that I thourght, 'no way, she couldnt know that', but obviously she does and she gets it from school. So I dont play on it, I just say if its ok or not (maybe a little of why), and let it pass quickly. Kids need to be kids and not flooded with information and expectations of an adult world (especialy at so young an age).

Re: sexual knowledge age

they do learn to much at school,we can control what our kids watch, but unfortunately other parents don't seem to care.it's hard but like i've told my daughter who is seven,she is not to kiss boys til she is 18,will c how that works.even video hits with their sexy clips make them dance too seductively for my liking.

Re: sexual knowledge age

Hard to know....  My son told me last week about a girl friend at preschool who plays a game with her cousin where they take their clothes off (except undies) and kiss under the bedcovers - wtf?  I was a tad shocked and had a chat about appropriate behaviour - eg touching certain places, not hiding things like kissing under the covers - everything to be out in the open etc...  Later I thought perhaps I over-reacted, but it was not a bad discussion to have anyway.  He already has been told some of these things, but I think it is healthy to give them guidelines on appropriate behaviour - though he has no idea about sex at this stage (age 5).

Re: sexual knowledge age

When I was 6yrs old and hanging out with some older kids at St Johns training (therefore well aware of the human anatomy), a boy asked me if I knew what SEX was and assumed I'd confuse it with my age SIX... I said of course I do, looked up Encyclopedia Britannica the next day in the library and read all 25 pages of it out loud with my girlfriends.  We then snuck on to the roof of the boys toilets, hung down and looked in the windows at them going to the toilet and decided it was all too disgusting to be true ; )  The only reason it would affect her badly is if her strongest role model (YOU) handle it badly.  Be casual and matter of fact about what is acceptable behaviour and what isn't, especially for a young lady her age.
