I would handle this by bringing art into home schooling...Kids love art and if you look at the famous artist many have nudes. Michael Angelo has a lot of nudity... He sculpted and painted. If you incluse art into your schoooling you can matter of factly show her sculpture and paintings of nudese, explain that GOd made us diffrent and show it as being natural with out uncomfortable feeling kids can get when we as adults get serrious!!!! You can show an artist's work and think up a fun project that would tie into that artist... Kids love it and you can aproch the body as God's design...

I do think it is important not to shy away from the sexual topics at this age... Kids seem to know way more then you think they do from friends and tv and such. Make sure you are open with her so she feels she can be honet andopen with you. As she gets older you want these conversations to be comfortable andit all starts now not when they kit the teen years!!!
