I've had extended family around my place a lot lately and DD has been on cloud 9 playing with my cousins kids - one in particular who is 2 years older than her - I'll call him L (he has just turned 8).

Last night while I was tucking her in she mentioned to me that she didn't think older boys would like playing with her barbies with her - and that all he wanted to do was take off their clothes and make them have sex.

I am just shocked by it - and now have it churning around in my head freaking me out instead of being able to think straight to fix it.

DD doesn't know much about sex at all - she picked up the word a somehow a while ago and she was happy enough with my explanation that 'it's something adults do when they are in a relationship' and it's just been left at that. Apart from that she knows it takes a man and woman to make a baby but again - she's never shown further interested than that so we've never gone into more detail.

I'm really worried that I don't know exactly what happened - As far as I can tell he was playing that these barbies were watching movies about sex on the tv and then having sex together.

I'm not sure how to handle it -
Do I just let her know that she can ask me if she wants to?
Or push for detail of what happened specifically in the game so I can make sure there wasn't anything inappropriate?
Or forget the game happened and have my own conversation with her about it?
Or just leave it and see if she brings it up?

As you can see my brain is going into meltdown - I'm very aware that I'm already over protective about this kind of thing with DD already - and my hormone levels today are not helping at all!! I really need some non-hormonal perspectives to get this right lol
