Sexuality is part of everyone’s life, regardless of age. This curiosity is natural. In addition, it is usual for a child to have questions at any age. When your daughter is ready to ask questions, you, as a parent, should be ready to answer them. Every day there are situations that are conducive to teaching your children about issues related to sex. For example, at bath time, you can talk about body parts and what «private» means. A pregnancy or birth in the family is a good time to discuss how a baby is conceived and born. Watching TV with your kids can also be a good time to discuss relationships on screen.
