With everything else as a Latter Day Saint parent go with your gut

I think it needs to come quite early more and more girls are having periods at 8... Mum gave me the talk at 4.5 lol but I actually I think growing up knowing what sex was, gave me a lot of strength as a teen to stay chaste even before I was baptised at 15.

My daughter at 5 has a basic idea about how babies are conceived and that sex should only happen when she is a very big girl and gets married, she knows what a period is and that when she is big she will have one and that its her body getting ready to have a baby, she even knows about condoms as she found them so we just explained Mummy and Daddy use them when we are not ready to have a baby.

I know my instinct with my daughter was right as she is showing early signs of puberty already
