Often God gives them their own in built sense of when they are ready and they will ask ,if they are not forthcoming then broach it tactfully and they will either be interested or say yukk !! -guess you might have to wait a bit then :P As christian parents its often not the technicalities that is the big issue but giving them a healthy attitude and explaining that sex is a loving ,healthy and fun thing in the right environment -i.e marriage but don,t worry 8 is a bit young for this sort of heavy stuff -I'm sure you and your wife know your daughter best ,trust your God given instincts and don't let other confuse you -every blessing Jude Having two daughters myself ,i am so familiar with this dilemma-what my husband and i did was to break it down into manageable bits -when they were little and asked the inevitable “where do babies come from ?” we explained the egg and seed making a baby in mummy’s tummy and as they got older we let them take the lead and found they asked the more technical questions when they were ready.

Then I can inform them of the corrupted version in light of the good." I think this is the best policy ;-) What is hard is how do one bring up the conversation in the first place?
