You might want to try to come up with some dangerous scenarios too. My sister and I have ALWAYS talked to our children honestly about sex. But, my sister didn’t think that one day my niece would be in a situation (at 13) where a friend would help her get raped. Sad, but true.
I was attacked as a teen so I informed my daughter AND my son about possible situations that can be dangerous. I hope it never happens but at least they know the warning signs.
Never go ANYWHERE with a boy alone. ALWAYS group date (when the time is right) until you REALLY know someone. And even then, it’s not 100% safe. But, your chances are better.
Give her the “if you loved me you would….” talk.
Remember, this may not all happen in one setting, she might shy away from you at first. If she does, don’t push it but let her know that the two of you WILL talk about it. And…if all else fails….enjoy your day together. She’ll open up.
Don’t forget to reassure her that there is nothing to be embarrassed about when talking about these kind of things especially if you notice her getting uncomfortable. If it is too uncomfortable for her tell her that you can talk about it maybe in a day or so to give her time to think about what you have already said, and this way she doesn’t feel pressured to talk about something embarrassing.
You dont really need to tell her everything, but as and when the opportunity comes, you could tell her the stuff..
I don’t think I would take her into public to talk about it though. You don’t want to embarass her.
