4 months ago,I was babysitting my 6 years old little sister once and we were playing and she said ''Hey you almost hit my penis!'' I was like what? and she said ''nothing..'' I asked her where did you hear that word and she said she heard it at school... I told her ''dont say it anymore and by the way only boys have this, not girls''. Yesterday I was talking about buying a new bra with my mom and my little sister said ''Me i dont have boobs.'' I didnt say anything but i just find it weird that she knows these words at 6... she is turning 7 in december. I only knew what penis and boobs meant at like 8 years old....

    Don't treat it like a dirty word. It's just a penis. It would be more helpful if you taught her what it actually was.

      Seriously. One time I was at the pool when I was 6 years old. A little girl asked her mom sitting next to me "why do girls have to where big swimming suits, but guys only have to wear smaller ones." Her mom whispered, "It's because girl's B-O-O-B-S grow."
      In my head I was like bitch please, I can spell, and I know exactly what yer talkin bout.

    How is it shocking that children have a basic knowledge of anatomy? I should fucking hope they know them by that age.

    Body parts aren't anything to be ashamed of. There's nothing wrong about using these words.

      Until they start using stronger words like Ass then I have a problem, but with penis, I think I tell them not so say that so much or try to encourage softer words for it

        There's nothing wrong with the word penis. I don't think they should be yelling it at the top of their lungs all the time, but I'd rather they use medically correct terms than silly names.

        Fun story: One of my kids got in trouble on his first day of school. Five years old, a little girl in his class called him a poo poo head. So he retaliated by calling her an arsehole. Do you have any idea how hard it was not to laugh? :D

    Yes, it's normal. Kids have ears and brains. They remember more of what they hear than we do.

    The chances that a kid has gone through 6 years of life without overhearing mention of penises or boobs is practically zero.

    This reminds me of how I learnt about the word "sex". You see, in Swedish it means both sex and the number 6.. I guess my point is that they are just words and a child knowing them or what they mean is not going to destroy their childhood.
    Yes math was a little awkward at times.

    seriously if someone wanted to be a stand up comedian for a group of 6 year olds they could just stand there and rattle off words like

    condom
    penis
    toilet
    poo
    boobs

    I remember being that age and thinking those words were so risque and funny. I think it's normal.

      In 5th grade a girl tattled on me to the teacher for saying the word "sexy." She was like, girl, we got bigger problems than that.
      That year I also get sent to the principal's office and they called my parents, because a girl tattled on me for making a comic strip including a joke about "sex" in it. They were like, sex is nothing to joke about, you need to talk to your parents about this. I didn't even know what sex was, nor did I know that girls didn't pee out of their buttholes. That was the start of the most awkward sex talk ever.

          I was in 5th grade at a private christian school. Their philosophy on sex is that if they don't talk about it, then no one will find out about it. Which actually worked for me, I didn't even know what a vagina was until I went to a public school for high school.

          Want another story about how ridiculously strict they are? In 8th grade I was really into Call of Duty and WWII stuff in general. So after I finished my test I had a bunch of time, so I started doodling WWII era guns on the back of my test. Next day I get called into the principal's office who talk to me, calls my mom, and then sends me to the school counselor, because they think I am exhibiting symptoms of violent behavior. And I wasn't allowed to draw guns anymore. Then I tried doodling my other interest, paintball guns, but that as a no-no as well.

            I hear ya man I was always getting busted in school drawing comics in class. One time I drew the two science teachers for my year level engaged in a sexual education lesson gone wrong and it was confiscated and read. I do not know how I did not get expelled for that, I suppose they were too embarrassed by it or something

            That is just plain ridiculous. I'm almost sorry you had to experience that.

    Tell her that cock, dick, prick, penis, Willy, Percy or how ever the hell you want to call it is a small organic pipe located at the lover part of the males body. It is mainly used for masturbating and reproducing, but some people use it for peeing.

    So you knew them at 8, she knows them at almost 7... Is this really a reason for such concern? Not everything happens to everyone at exactly the same age. I don't know where all that obsession with the age at which thing happen comes from. What the hell, just let her be.
