how do i explain sex to my very curios 7 year old son?

Answer 1

However you bring it up, you need to emphasize on the negatives and positives, you don't want to give him a complex that sex is dirty, but you know, you don't want him doing it anytime soon. Bring up pregnancies and sometimes people can get sick if they aren't responsible, sex is for grown ups and it's amazing to do when you're in love with someone.

Answer 2

I would first find out where he's getting the idea from. Then I would put a hold on that source if I could find it. Otherwise keep asking him where he is learning this from? 7 is too young to be learning about sex. Do you want him to bring you his own child to raise at age 13? Tell him it's too soon to talk about the birds and the bees. When he's the right age tell him. Nor would you let a 13 year old drive a car right? If he's that bad you can put cosmopolitan magazines in the bathroom. Kids love that stuff. rofl.

Answer 3

What an age...
My son was about the same age and we were all over at some friends house. We had brought our dog, but my girlfriend failed to tell me or my husband that her dog was in heat. Well, you can imagine what happened next, except, we thought our son was outside in the front playing, wrong.... He was in the garage in the back yard and saw the dogs stuck together. Well, my son, not understanding asked his dad, what are they doing? My husband replied, having sex. To which my son replied," what is Sex? My husband had no idea what to say so he said, what the dogs are doing. My son replied, is that how people do it? My husband said yes, and you know he never asked another question about sex for about a yr or so. I then just laid it out, "appropriately", answered his questions honestly and with as little slang as possible.
Sex is natural, and should be discussed without fear or embarrassment. Just be cool and collected and so will he....

Planned Parenthood has a book called "Let's Talk About S-E-X" to read to/with children and teach them about sex. You can find a copy through their website or by calling your local branch, if you have one. You should also keep in mind that a seven year old doesn't need explanations that are that detailed. Isolate what exactly he wants to know (i.e. where babies come from, etc.) and answer that and nothing more. When he has other questions, answer those as they come up. The important thing is to be honest with him and to let him know that he shouldn't be afraid or embarrassed to talk about these things with you or ask questions---it'll make it much easier for him to have these talks with you when he's a teenager. Good luck, and good for you for trying to answer his questions! Too many parents just brush it off, when really, it's never too early to talk to kids about sex (especially since they will be hearing things from their friends, even in elementary school, not to mention possibly having to deal with serious issues like sexual abuse).

Answer 5

It's been along time for me,but I do remember buying books and never hideing the difference between their mother and I.
That I assume a family of four doesn't hide unless they want to give the message to be ashamed of themselfs.
I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the books,but they would be a little old now.
they started by explaining how plants,trees,etc. reproduced and then moved on to the human body in drawings,so any kid would know the difference if you were honest and not hiding,don't please make the mistake of thinking they haven't noticed,they just want simple honest answers from you.
So be honest,truthful and simple answers will do for now,if he doesn't get them from you,he will from someone else that could be wrong.
One of the last lines in the book said,Mommy and Daddy lay close to each other because they love each other and thats how you were born;simple and true,good luck.

Answer 6

He is too immature to understand. I wouldn't recommend bringing up the topic in any serious manner until another three years or so. Until then, just let him know it's grown-up stuff, and he'll know soon enough. I think as parents, we have to be careful not to expose children to things too soon, even if their curiosity warrants them asking questions about it.

Answer 7

Just tell he'll learn it in a few years! (Wow he is very curios)

Answer 8

Just be truthful and you won't have anything to worry about. Answer all of his questions but keep it on his level. Let him check out this website.

Answer 9

Just tell him a little, not too much. He is not old enough to present it to him right now. Good Luck!

Answer 10

7 yrs is the right age to read "a" book to him
