Im having it this month with my daughter has Im a single dad with full custody and she has finally started her period and is talking about boys.
We have had small talks starting at 10( since some girls get their period this early and she did have spotting that went away) but not the full talk so I really want her to know she is "bad" for having thoughts or the "devil" and I really want to be there for her so I can fill in any questions and we have a open door communication built.
Dont want her learning/thinkin stupid things I hear kids say like girl on top cant get pregnant, or do it under water and you cant get pregnant. IMO information is always the way to go.
Also in 2 years her sex ed will be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than I ever had at her age has i saw her future health book, man its crazy but yet great at the same time.
For a girl? The day before she gets married; or even the morning of. Until then, keep an eye on her every move.
This is why I am glad I am not a parent. For me the answer would be "at about 45".
I voted other. When the child is ready. We all mature at different rates, why be restricted?
I got my around 12 or 13, but most of my friends got it at about 15. I think the best time to talk about it is when a parent and child start talking about the opposite sex. So, it sounds like for you and your daughter you are at the right spot to finally talk about it.
Don't worry, she likely knows more NOW than you ever will. ROFLMAO
IMO this would be absolutely silly, wrong, harmful and naive
Say that when your daughter comes home to tell you that she's knocked up.
My daughters and step daughter don't make a move that I don't know about.
Uhm? how would you know when the child is ready if you dont start talks?
also im not trying to restrict anything or make a law lol just want to know peoples opinions

Because my daughter asked me. The child will let you know when they are ready because they will ask.
You can't put an age on it... people reach different levels of maturity/awareness at different times. (In general) A girl in a rural midwestern town that's pretty quiet would probably be ready for the talk a little later than a genetically gifted girl growing up on the beaches of Santa Monica. If I were the Dad in Santa Monica, I'd give her a baseball bat to carry around. One that matched mine
I say you, as parent need to figure out when first fraction of an inkling of sexual curiosity is visible (in her, her friends or boys) and give her the talk before it blossoms.
I don't envy you...

I disagree. I still leave the room when a sex scene comes up in a movie when my parents are around. It is just uncomfortable and awkward. But kudos for you daughter to coming up and talking to you about it.
sorry I also think this is niave,i do not think that all kids will ask and that is a proven fact
I like to THINK she will, I HOPE she would but its not worth the risk IMO
I'd say ask her to tell you what she knows about the issue, then correct any faulty information.
As with the internetz these days, she very likely knows more than you even know exists.
