Talking to Younger Kids (Ages 3-9) about Sex

Should I be talking to my child about sex when they’re this young?

Laying a healthy foundation for God’s plan? Establishing yourself as a trustworthy “expert” for their questions (rather than that friend’s older brother)? Protecting them against abuse?

Unquestionably. You don’t want to be playing catch up. (We’ll help.)

It's easy to convey the message to children that their bodies or particular parts of their bodies are shameful.

This misconception fuels confusion, embarrassment, and secrecy, and often prevents children from recognizing or reporting sexual abuse.

Young children deserve to be armed early against internet dangers. Good Pictures Bad Pictures Jr. makes it easy for parents to protect their young kids ages 3 to 6.

When children ask “where do babies come from?” they ask because they are curious about where THEY came from. The question is not about sex.
