My lovely 2y4m DD has found a booklet belonging to her 12 y.o. brother.....

... and is fascinated.

DS1 picked it up from the GP surgery when I took him to have some sticthes out at the end of last week. It's a booklet called '4 Boys' and basically is a health info leaflet aimed at teenage lads written in a 'street friendly' language re sex, puberty and drugs etc. One of the pages has a number of cartoon images of naked fellas on it with lots of speech bubbles containing different teenage boy body issue questions. DD is fascinated by the winkies on display..... She's sitting quite happily reading it. LOL

D'you think I should take it off her ? She can't read at 2, am I wrong in thinking that it's not particularly inappropriate for her to be curious about the human body ?

let her get on with it! I can't see any harm in it. Everytime we go to the docs dd comes back with loads of leaflets on sex, puberty, periods, smoking etc but she cant read them

I don't think she is old enough to understand much and is probably highly curious. i would have no problem with her looking at it - just not every night

No, bless. My ds and dd (5 and 1) were enthralled by the leaflet on post-pregnancy pelvic floor maintenance (with woman with knotted legs) and insisted on bringing it home with them.

LOL, Marina

I've just read through the booklat and it's actually quite good. V informative and quite 'sensible', especially useful as DH is embarrassed about having 'that' talk with the DSs
