Please help. I am freaking out!!!
I took the phone from my 8years old daughter to my surprise i found in search the word "sexul" she probably was trying sexual.
I was shocked i am so not ready for that
When i looked at her i could see that she knew it was wrong.
I asked her calmly where did she hear this from and she said her friend told her about it
Then i asked what did she said and she told me that her friend said that its when 2 ppl have sex. I asked what does that mean? She said I don't know.
I asked why she was searching for it and she explained that she was trying to see what it actually mean because she didn't understand what her friend was talking about.
I stayed calm and that wasn't easy for me and i told her when u need to know anything just come to me and ask me, what ever it is i am not going to be angry and i just want her to be honest and feel that she can talk about everything.
I asked her if she have any questions she said no.
Am i over reacting? Is it normal for 8 years old to talk about this at school.
She said her friend know what it means but she told her that she doesn't want to know because when she heard the word she felt that its a bad word and she said that another friend agreed that they shouldn't talk about it.
I asked why she felt its bad she said I don't know i just felt puzzled and I didn't understand but felt weird.
What am I supposed to say when she start asking more? What does sex mean for an 8 year old
