Wat nou?
My 12 jarige dogter het verlede naweek uit geslaap, Saterdag het ek haar kamer aan die kant gekaak toe kry ek n wortel in n kondoom onder haar bed, hoe moet ek die saak hanteer?

Hi Jane,
from what you describe it sounds as if your daughter is beginning to experiment sexually. It would be beneficial to speak with her about her development in an understanding and accepting way, and within that pointing out your concerns about what you found. Help her to begin understanding what healthy sexual awareness and development is about. There are a number of books also available for young people regarding sexual development. Take a look online either at Amazon or Kalahari and you should find a good selection.
The main thing is don't panic - these are the joys of puberty and adolescence!
