My 11 year old daughter is asking questions.
Very typical questions like how babies are made.
I grew up extremely sheltered so I have no idea how to proceed. I want to be super honest with her but not looking to overwhelm her either.
We’re chasidish. Not sure if it matters. Our bodies do work the same:)
Please help!

Listen to Raizy Frieds inspired living segment on the puberty talk. She has Malky Weingarten giving great advice.

Another suggestion is to just keep it simple. Don’t overthink it. Answer whatever she asks in simple terms, don’t be vague, don’t be explicit. Matter of facts. Just like any other topic.
The scary part is the big deal you make of it.
You will be surprised how easy she will probably take it, if you are easy about it.

be very upfront.
only answer the specific question she asks.
she can and will ask more as she processes and gets older.
name body parts you are referring to (certainly now that she's 11), if u use Hebrew/Yiddish that's fine but also give her the English word .

Give brief, accurate answers. Figure out what she's really asking and answer it and then stop.
Kids seek the information they are ready for. So don't worry that they can't handle it, but also don't answer beyond what they really asked.
Sample starter exchange with a kid:
Where do babies come from?
From the mother.
