Im not sure Im advocating the full sex talk at 4. I think just talking about body parts with their correct names and not being embarrassed about it would be a huge step in the right direction. The problem is that, once they get to junior school age, they start to get self conscious and even if you have given them an open mind about their bodies, the tendency is to go all silly and hide themselves. I would like to see how the curriculum is being planned so I can assess it properly but we do need to bring up a generation who are not afraid to talk about sex and love and emotions candidly.

At eight or nine, yes, then start discussing the finer workings of an adult relationship - but four is just too early in my opinion.

Last week I finally - on a quiet day - let my two and half year old run loose in the supermarket. With strict instructions NOT to go too far from mummy. Which of course she didn't because she's a smart kid. But I? I didn't breath until we were back hand-in-hand and on our way home. Over-protective doesn't even begin to describe it and yet I promised myself not to turn into my fearful mother. Right. That's not gonna happen. I’d love to hear some answers.

She could just put them in the recycling sack so I suspect it's more a case of her not wanting me to know how many she's had *sigh* My teen is very conscientious about taking all her empty beer cans and alcopop bottles to the bottle bank.
