This morning DS who will be 7 in a couple of months was getting ready in his bedroom and he was mubbling to himself and I thought I heard him say sex. I went in and calmly asked him to repeat it. He said it was something rude and he didn't want to say it again, he thought he would be in trouble. Eventually he admitted he said the word sex but when questioned he said that he didn't know what it meant or where he heard it.
I said that it is something normal but something that he shouldn't understand at his age and that he shouldn't use words he doesn't understand without checking with me first. I told him it is how babies are made with Mummys & Daddys and that it doesn't involve children.
When did your children find out the word and how did you react?? I'm really sad that someone has said sex infront of him and taking his innocence away.
