Hi,
I just need a bit of input from others. I have tried to raise my daughter in such a way that she can talk to me and ask me about anything. I have also tried to raise her so that she is unashamed of her body or its functions within normal bounds of modesty. Because of this, nudity for example, around me is still a non-issue. I have also followed the advice of many "newer" experts and taught her the proper names of body parts, that is vulva for the female genitals and penis for the male's, or my language's equivalents.
Now, however, she wants the names of the individual parts of her vulva, that is the labia, clitoris, etc.
So the question is, should I continue with my path of honesty and forthrightness or back off a bit? I'm basically wondering both if she is old enough and also how appropriate it is for me to go into so much detail with her.
With regards.

Um sir? I would like to continue with honesty, but back off the 'health' part as it can lead you to teach her too much, possibly causing early sex. I talk to my dad (i am female) about pretty much everything but i hate when he teases me on my period or acts peculiar about my period. So when she gets there, talk to her but plz for her sake and fer yours on being a respectful dad, Dont Tease. Us gals hate it! Good luck!

i think she is just a bit to young to know so much. Maybe you could slow down for a couple years until she is old enough to get information from herself. It is good that she is confident and comfortable.

I see this person has deleted their account, but the father needs to be there for his daughter. It is a fact when fathers and boys in the family are more involved in the female children in the family that the girls have a more positive attitude about their bodies and her genitals. Girls see themselves as a person and not as a sex object, and they see that their genitals are unique and beautiful. The father can answer any question his daughter asks, and she can know the names of her genital parts. In elementary school, they teach the children in first grade their genitals parts. Early sex questions will not cause a child to become sexually or become abuses sexually. Children do feel sexual, not as it would be with their hormones. The father can talk about any health issues with his daughter. Early sex comes from family members not being involved in their children's lives and their bodies. The reason why children go to places that they should not go to is caused by parents and brothers and sister not taking care of their needs. Let me drop a line here about teasing children about their genitals or sexuality. It the mothers, other mothers, and girls who dramatics girls sexually with their mouths and how they talk to them. We females are good at dramatics sexual behavior in children in how we act with them. Get off the males are doing this. Boys and men have more respect for boys and girls' genitals in what they do. Who is always making fun of boys and teens males erection in their pants? It the females who do it. Note - daughters and their fathers can talk about anything they what to communicate. Some women think they the only one should speak to children about stuff like this, but the men can do the same. Parents need to keep it on their child level of understanding. For example, the child asks their parent what fills the penis when it gets an erection? The answer is blood. The problem with some parents go and get gross and nasty with it. Some mothers take their daughter that the boy is thinking sexually of you, and he wants to put his penis in your vagina. That is a lie.

No, she not to young. There nothing wrong with a 6-year-old girl curious about her body and how it works. At her age, you explain things very simple and as she gets older that you add more detail information with it. It is good for a parents to keep a log on her question so they can add to it as she grows. For example, she asks her parents about masturbation? The simple answer is to reduce stress and anxiety. Then when she gots around the age of 8 is when you tell her it to reduce sex urges. By the age of 6 that 90 percent of children know that the penis is used also for the vagina.
