What are some good websites for me to use to help teach my 10 yr old daughter about s*x education?

Question

My daughter is starting to ask questions about how womens bodies change and menastration. I want to find a good web site to explain anatomy and any of her other questions.

Answer 1

You should probably get her a book from amazon, barnes n nobles, or borders.  Never give your child a ticket to google sexual keywords on the internet!

Answer 2

beinggirl.com

the webisite sponsering the very helpful pamphlet e got in 5th grade after watching "the movie" <------------the "period movie" it has a lot of really good info and always helps me well now im 14,and have had mine 4 2years, and the site still helps!

Answer 3

I don't know of any good websites, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to discuss this with my daughters until they were closer to 13.  I guess I was just wishful thinking.  Good luck though.

Answer 4

Family Life offers a wonderful curriculum called passport to Purity. You plan a weekend away just you and your daughter, listens to CDs (this removes a lot of the embarassment factor), do activities together, and really create the bond of a mother-daughter relationship. I took my daughter when she was 11 and we have a very open relationship about s*x and any question she has and I believe this was the catalyst for what we now enjoy. Purity/Abstinence is the safest way for your daughter to live her life. Be an encourager and I pray you both will have an incredibly blessed relationship.

Answer 5

I think I would steer clear of the web on this. Any site that deals with sexuality , is likely to have links, adds or postings that are best avoided. I am sure your local librarian or book seller can recommend an age appropriate book.

Answer 6

It sounds like you are headed in the right direction but anatomy is the tip of the iceburg.  I don't expect to get best answer for this response because you are asking about a good web site to explain anatomy.  There are plenty of those out there if you do a search on google.

I thought I would provide a bit more comprihensive game plan for you.

It is important for children to understand sexual feelings and relationships before they become sexually active. In fact, studies have shown that teens who have discussed s*x with their parents are more likely to wait longer to begin having s*x and to use contraception.

What Should I Tell my Kids?

First of all, focus on the facts. Consider using the following list of topics as an outline:

Explanation of anatomy and reproduction in males and females.

Sexual intercourse and pregnancy.



Fertility and birth control.

Other forms of sexual behavior, including oral s*x, masturbation, and petting.

Sexual orientation, including heterosexuality, homosexuality , and bisexuality.



The physical and emotional aspects of s*x, including the differences between males and females.



Self-image and peer pressure.



Sexually transmitted diseases.



Rape and date rape, including how being intoxicated (drunk or high), or accepting rides/going to private places with strangers or acquaintances puts you at risk.



How choice of clothing and the way you present yourself sends messages to others about your interest in sexual behavior.



Some parents are uncomfortable talking to their kids about s*x. It may help to practice what you are going to say before you sit down with your son or daughter. Be sure to pay attention and listen, as well. It may be helpful to have both parents present for support. Some teens may be embarrassed to talk about s*x or to admit they don't know something, and so may not ask direct questions. Look for opportunities to bring up sexuality issues with your children. Opportunities may come from a scene on TV or in a movie, a book or article, or the appearance of visible changes in your son or daughter, such as the growth of b*****s or facial hair. Explain the physical maturation process and the sexual arousal process. Remember to respect your child's privacy, and try to show that you trust him or her to make good decisions.

It is also important to discuss sexual boundries or " sexual rights."  Here are some examples:

The right to accurate information about sexuality, their partner and HIV/AIDS.



The right to stop being physical or sexual with a partner at any point.



The right to say no to an unwanted touch of any kind.



The right to make decisions about sexuality, in your own time.



The right to express your sexuality safely, without risk of pregnancy, or STDs including HIV/AIDS.



The right not to be pressured into being physical or sexual.



The right not to express your sexuality unless you want to.

Good luck with your talk!

Answer 7

I dont know of any websites, but my daughter and I just talk about it - she and I both bring up  anything and everything.

My daughter is 12 and had the "video" as school but still had questions.

Try not to make it too complex.

Good Luck

Answer 10

Get the book "my body, my self" by lynda and area madara.  I bought it for my daughter (age 9) and it explains the changes she will be going through, mentally and physically.  I really like the book because it helped open conversations between my daughter and I.  It has quizzes, fun facts, journal pages and other things that preteens love!!
