I was up in my 9 year olds daughters school yesterday,when her friends mum approached me,and told me that my daughter knows how a man and woman have sex,because my daughter picked up on the conversation with her friends on the street.so she had to give her daughter a book on puberty,i cant stop my daughter having these chats with her friends,as all kids are curious at this age.i understand this woman trying to keep her daughters innocence ,and ive told my daughter not to be telling everything she hears on the street to her best friend,and if she needed to know anything ,she could come to me.i feel this woman has told everyone up in the school about this as she was a bit snotty to me about.so my question is ,is my daughter to young to know part of these things or is the other mother over reacting.
 
No, she is not too young. I learned the basic process when I was 6 years old from a friends brother. Kids hear things all the time. It is our responsibility as parents to let our children know what is right and what is wrong. If that mother is thinking that her child doesn't know anything about sex, then she is horribly mistaken. You are doing the right thing by keeping the door open to your daughter and keeping her informed. Just let her know that she cannot believe everything she hears on the street.
 
I think she is a little young but things are happening younger these days. As for the mom I feel she has a right to be angry about your daughter telling hers about sex. I wouldn't want my daughter knowing this young and hearing it from her friend. You should of told your daughter that it isn't something you go around telling people that she needed to keep it to herself. How did she find out about it anyways?
 
technically yes, but i would just clear the air with her and make sure she knows what is appropriate and not. It's sad that kids today are learning more and more about sex and having it at a younger age. =/
