I understand that this question will bring a lot of mixed emotions and outlooks on everyone but, I really need opinions. When is it an appropriate age to talk to your child about molestation?

@starryheavens727, seems mature. I think they do understand
Well, i was molested at the age of 4-5 and i didn't know what had happened so I think the "good touch vs bad touch" would be appropriate for 4-5 year olds for starters. My mum didn't give me that talk at all.
I believe in starting early, by not censoring things like penis and vagina. Letting them know not to feel secretive and that they can tell you anything.
The best time to talk about it blatantly depends on when you think your kid can understand it.
I definitely think though between 3 and 4 is important, age 4 is when it starts sadly 💔
@kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, both. My main goal is for them not to be afraid to speak up... prevent it and all that.
I think it would depend. Are you taking about the potential for it and good touches vs bad touches, or are you talking as if it happened in the past and you want to let them know you're here for them.
I was there when my sister talked to her little ones about it and they were around 2 or 3. When they started going to a day care. She spoke to them about places where they shouldn't be touched and also about not being mistreated and always letting her know if anyone did any of those things to them. Everything as simple as possible of course since they were so little. She probably speaks to them about it every year or so. She went through that as a child so she really wants them to be cautious. I definitely plan on making sure my kids are aware of what's appropriate and what isn't too especially if I know they will be in an environment where I won't be there to watch them.
