I feel really uncomfortable taking about anything s-xual, body parts and I feel really guilt about it. My oldest is 14 and I read the American girl book to prepare her for getting her period but I never otherwise used any words had other conversations. I’m sure she heard from friends. My question is what exactly do I say when I’m so late in the game, can someone give me ideas of exactly how to go about this and what to say. Also with my younger kids I’d like to learn how to use body words and tell them earlier. I am not super close with my daughter either- I’m trying my best- I have my own emotional issues from hard childhood and I’m improving a lot but I’m not yet the super close mother daughter relationship.

Great recommendation. It’s actually available for free now if you live in Israel, op or use code AC to get it half price if you live outside Israel. All proceeds go to helping Israel.

I took it. But she tells you what to do when ur kids are little. This is different- she already is 14. The course didn’t help me for some reason.

Is this to talk about relations? Or just period stuff?

Im not sure how to do that. On one hand I am extremely comfortable with my s-ex life. And I can talk easily to people except my mother/ sister because of hard childhood and very weird relationships with them. I feel it’s extending to my daughter. I am working on my relationship with her but it’s a process and I never felt comfortable talking about s-ex. I believe it’s important. But I’m so uncomfortable to do so especially because our relationship isn’t as warm fuzzy as I wish it was. So I’m not sure exactly how to address this with her and what exactly I say. Also I guess I am pretty insular. My s-ex life works for me but I’m not the type to know all the correct words, terminology- I’m not super verbal in being able to explain…
