popcorn, I think the way a parent answers questions depends on the questions they ask. If a child starts asking detailed questions, they are wanting to know more. I know of a lot of 7 year olds who have heard about sex on the playground and then go to their parents for clarification. I don't know if I would volunteer that information when Misha is 7 but if she starts asking, I'm going to tell her the truth.


I agree with sirrahved about teaching them at a young age that sex is something very special between a husband and his wife. It is not a game and it is for adults.
