But my 8 year old daughter asked me questions which I could say bewildering and shocking a number of times. Once after watching the tele, she asked what does a person mean when he said: 'I'm not good in sex' that led to another question what is sex? I dared not answer her because I was afraid she might get all confused. So for her first question, I told her thats only for adults to know and she has to wait when she's older to know. For the second question I told her sex means whether you are a girl or a boy. I know it is not accurate due to the situation she saw on tv but the kid just gotta have some answers or else she won't ask you anymore questions.<br /><br />The other question was 'What is gay?' and she got this from the tele as well. My husband and I were stunned and looked at each other. I know I could give her an asnwer of which again would not be appropriate to the situation of when and where it occured but it would be misleading. So I told her 'gay' means being happy or contented but the 'gay' she encountered meant something else which I would be happy to explain when she' older.<br /><br />Want to know how she reacted? She grumbled: "Why must everything have to wait till I am older". Who could blame her. She's living in an adult world after all where the things, programmes and advertisements shown or aired on the tele are mostly adult oriented.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8334036762496446034-1838550345507118280?l=ummiiffah.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>ummi 'iffahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04061635043738465940noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334036762496446034.post-51730173465915286962008-09-08T18:53:00.000-07:002008-09-08T19:02:35.281-07:001.
