Answer 4

Answer 5

tell her to talk to her parents about this as they may a different idea on how she is told etc. or maybe speak to her parents and see how they think it should be done. she is old enough to know the truth now.

Answer 6

Trying turning the question back to her....sometimes kids are asking something else. This way you can find out what she really wants to know.What you could ask her is.......well what do you know about s*x?And what do you want you know.?

Answer 7

She asked because she trust you to give her the truth, and you should give her the truth. She has probably listen to her friends talk about it and now wants to know what's truth and what's fiction.

Tell her, you don't have to be graphic. Even if mom/dad don't want her to know yet, she is well aware and better she gets the facts now then before it's too late and she finds out on her own. Just make sure you let mom/dad know what you told her so they can continue the conversation and let the girl know it's okay for her to come to them next time.

My niece was 7 when she asked me about it, and I told her. My sister wasn't thrilled with me, but understood why I did it. I didn't lie or sugar-coat anything, and she asked because she knew I would not lie to her.

Answer 8

To ask her parents. Its not your place to tell her unless her parents are dead and you have custody. I'd also follow up with her parents, tell them she's been asking, and that you strongly suggest they have the talk with her before she finds someone else to ask that will tell her.

Answer 9

Well I don't know what her parents are like but I'd say tell her. Sometimes kids aren't comfortable with their parents, and it's better that she hears it from someone she trusts like you than some random kid at school.

11 is plenty old enough to know!! If you don't tell her, it'll only make it more tempting and she'll think about it more since its obviously a big deal. But if you just tell her, she probably won't care and will just drop it.

Answer 10

Tell her the truth, she is asking questions because her friends are already talking and some are already doing. I totally agree that it is a parents job to talk about this with kids, but some don't. Your niece feels comfortable with you enough to ask the questions and it is your duty to be honest and give it to her straight.

Answer 11

Tell her to talk to her mother.

Answer 12

Unless you have custody tell her to talk to her parents. If you have custody, give a simple, age-appropriate explanation. there are web sites and books around that say stuff to tell kids that age. be anatomically correct and don't make her feel bad for asking.
