Your son and daughter often play together, they are family after all. His role is to protect her from strangers and keep her safe. Your son is after all 12 years old and has a good sense of responsibility. Maybe your daughter is the eldest and this scenario is more applicable in your daughter’s life. Now you see what we often forget, children learn through experimentation. An innocent game of doctor and patient can leave lasting trauma in a child’s life. They search for answers anywhere, if their parents did not give them a sufficient answer. Protect your kids from asking their friends or Google; be honest with them and open about how NORMAL a vagina and penis is. Because let’s be honest, everyone has one or the other.
This is not about sexual identity or sex; your child is in their body now and they need to understand that they have the right to say NO.
Empower your child today!
