All I can say was that I was sort of excited! Something new was happening and it felt -amazing-. I felt connected to every woman in the world all of a sudden.
I remember my mother sitting me down and explaining -everything- to me. I know you are worried about robbing her innocence but her honesty saved me from sooo many problems.
When I started to learn about sex and masturbation from other kids at school (Yes, kids can become sexually fascinated with themselves as young as -5- from what I saw) I rejected it -all-. After all, I -knew- all the answer, I trusted my mother and she had -already- spoken to me.
What I'm trying to say is do you want your daughter to be the child listening to other kids tell her all the fascinating details about sex (Probably wrong)? and for her to feel like you never told her cause it's bad so she just keeps it to herself or attempts to try it? or do you want to educate her now so when the topic comes up she's the most carefully educated out of the bunch (Plus if she has more questions she's 10x more likely to come to you).
Anyway, I'm a mother myself too, and I worry about this myself. I've tried to shelter them as much as possible without suffocating them =P...it seems unfair for something like a period to come so early...View Thread

Not sure if you'll ever look at this again...but I was wondering if you got help or there were any improvements with age?
Something tells me there is something disturbed in my daughters thinking. My four year old isn't showing -any- of the same signs. I feel like I'm raising a future assassin or notorious thief.
I feel so lost. Everyone keeps giving me advice, books, etc. but none of them have a clue what it's like. My daughter doesn't just steal and lie she is -calculated-. It's all planned. She thinks carefully over how she is going to go about it, then executes it, and while she apologize profusely after her punishment I feel like it doesn't stick....or that it's an act. That she's manipulating me,View Thread
