Hi,
just wondering when you all will start your sexuality education with your little one... and how do you go about doing it? Will you introduce them their biological parents (not physically, but the concept of "biological parents") in the process?

My little one has been very curious about her own body as well as her parents' body!!! She will touch her lower part of her body when we changed her or bathed her... when I changed infront of her she will look at me and laugh... as if she is telling me "shame shame"!!! I always stop her from touching her private part, not sure am I doing the right thing?? Will it be too early to start the topic of sex or should I start early before it's too late

I seem to read somewhere that children like to touch their genital areas... eg, boys like to pull their thingy. so i guess it's alright. Jaimie touches and scratches her private parts too when i change her diapers. do you shower with your daughter? i tried once but i thought that is not very practical. We ended up taking a long time to shower. I change in front of jaimie too... she just looked at me with much curosity. i suppose that's step one in sexuality education... to let them be aware of their bodies and how they will grow up to be. Maybe we can write in to Fei Yue and asked them if they can conduct workshops for adoptive parents on how to breech the topic of sexuality education... and whether we shd bring in their biological parents when we do so.
