Yeah, not too early, but be alert for the “nipple pop” that starts before the actual tissue growth begins, and get them something that covers that when it happens! Even if it’s just a cami that smooths things out. It’s sooooo awkward to see the girl who doesn’t quite have the boobs yet but “something” is happening!

So I know I’m late on this, but I was early on everything else! My mom didn’t know what to do so she ended up planning a girls weekend with my aunts and grandma! It was so awesome! We actually continued that weekend through high school for me to buy a bathing suit every year.

My dad on the other hand, he took me on father daughter dates and always told me I was beautiful. He told me so much that the first time a boy said it to me I told him “I know, my daddy tells me all the time!” I responded that way when boys tried to tell me they loved me…

Basically, keep it up! Tell them all the time they are beautiful and that you love them!! I’m now 25, my dad and I are still super close and still go on daddy daughter dates!

It really wasn’t that awkward for me at all. I guess because it wasn’t very obvious. I wasn’t exactly “blessed” in that department, if you know what I mean. I never felt like my dad treated me any different either.

Well, I didn’t get man boobs until I got fat, so my Mom says, “David, I know Joy(my wife) is feeding you, but you got to do something!”.

Melissa,

As a daddy of two growing girls, I must say I agree with this answer the best. Momma handles the details like monthly visitor and other stuff, but it does come to me to explain boys. I think it has to do with the fact that I was a sailor…

Carlos,

Always leave the door open. Never let them think they have to hide from you. I mean that figuratively – not literally. But that’s how my Dad handled drugs. “If you’re going to smoke marijuana, I want to be there with you.” Of course, that didn’t happen, but when I did try it I fessed up to him right away. And it didn’t happen again.

I was in church a couple of weeks ago with my six and eleven year old daughters. After the service, one of my friends walked over and mentioned that he wanted to know who was the blonde lady between my wife and I. Then she turned and he could see it was my daughter. My 11 year old daughter! I told him, “You just scared the $#** outta me.”

Funny thing, though. And I see that this is turning from a comment into my own blog post… Anyway – as my kids grow up, I have stopped looking at women lustfully. The reason why, I think that some kid is looking at my daughter like that, and I want to kill him (or, in these horrible times, her).

‘Nuff said. I’ll shut up now.

Personally, I was very ambivalent about the boobs forming. I guess I just wanted to stay under the radar a few more years. Didn’t help that I developed WAY earlier than the other girls in class. Couple them with a big butt and its a recipe for disaster.

As for teaching the kids about them, we like to stress that they are 1.) Designed by God to enhance a woman’s beauty, to make her more desirable for her husband to enjoy (no joke). If you teach them this while they are young, its not so embarrassing when they get older because it’ll be old news. And 2.) God made them perfectly and specifically for mothers to feed their babies.

My 6 yo is very conscious of women that show alot of cleavage and often asks me why women like to “show their skin”. My boys UGH, I can feel their stares if I don’t wear a bra so I ALWAYS have to wear one. Little heathens…

Ugh, Tammy–that’s the worst! Makes you wanna scream out “SHE IS JUST A BABY!!” right?

My baby sister is in her 30′s and I still can’t stand when this happens!

So as you know, we’re already dealing with this BIG TIME! Wait til you’re walking them to see a Disney movie and they’re a few steps ahead, and as you’re walking you begin to see the heads of every 18-24 year old dirt bag turn and give them the up/down… That’s what I’m dealing with!

Let your wife handle it. My dad was the first to mention the inevitable “you need to start wearing a bra”. I think it would have been much easier to hear it from Mom.

The girls will survive and so will you. =) Everyone does. Keep on keepin’ on and follow your gut!

You mean I’m supposed to have boobs?

Crap.
