When's an appropriate age to tell kids that babies came from d*ck and v*gina action?

Question

and do you tell them straight forward or use some kind of analogy?

Answer 1

Well in this family we are very open when they first get curious about what they have down there you tell them the correct name for it. You tell your son he and daddy have a Penis and his sister and mommy have a Vagina. And well if they want to know where babies come from tell them that when a man and a woman love each other very much and are married they will decide when to get have a baby then the man will plant a seed in the womans belly...and that will keep them satisfied for a few years but there will be a time when they will want to know how he will put the seed in her belly. So you can tell them when a man and a woman are married and decide to plant a seed for a baby the man must put his penis in hie wives vagina and a seed will come out. and that will keep them satisfied for about a year, by that time they will become wise to the fact that theres not a seed so by that time hopefully they are mature enough to understand the concept of a sperm and egg. and there are many resources for that type of stuff online. As for an age to start telling them as soon as they become curious the last thing you want is for them to find out on their own...

Answer 2

When they get a boy/girl friend. Tell it to them stright forward-- if they are old enough to have said boy/girl friend, then should be old enough to understand the approiate methods for developing a baby-- You should also have the talk about sex should only be when two people really love each other and no one should ever make them feel they need to have sex to be popular and they should be ready to face the consequences should they arise-- You should know where you stand on abortion too and portray this to your child. And while this is up to you, you may even want to put your child on some form of birth control-- weather it is for the guy- condems or the pill for girls--just remember these pills have side effects.

Answer 3

My kids are 2 and 5 and already know where babies come from and how mommies and daddies make babies, no analogies, real words. How much they understand, I'm not really sure how much of it they understand, but I will continue to talk about it with them and answer their questions as honestly as I can.

Answer 4

I think 9 is the right age. By then some kids no it already they just dont want to tell you. but if they ask even at a young age i think you should always tell them truthfully. They'll probably not care to much anyway. They are young

Answer 5

It is different for different kids. It depends on their maturity level and what kinds of questions they are asking about babies and sex. Telling them straight out is best but not by using profanity or slang . It is a penis and a vagina used to help the sperm get to the egg.

Answer 6

OK, the choice of words is definately creepy. Leave it up to the school system, they have sex ed. Some parents think it's ok to be straight forward about sex, but it's just not appropriate.

Answer 7

I learned when I was about 7... Depends on how mature the kid is. Or if the world is still one big joke to them. I learned it striahgt forward, basically by a book, but it was still open for discussion

Answer 8

Whenever they are old enough to ask the question, they're old enough to get the answer. I learned about sex when I was 6, my whole family is very open and my parents walked around naked.

Answer 9

i have a 5 yr old little girl I told her that she has a vagina and i have a little boy he is 1 month old and she asked my when i was giving him a bath what his little penis and testicals were so i told her what they were now she is asking evertime she sees a male anything if it has peanuts like her brother. my husband didn't like the idea but our daughter thought that she had one when she was little and thinks that it is going to fall off like his circimsision and his imbilical cord so i thought it was time to tell her that boys and girls are different and how and give her the proper name

Answer 10

my parents never told me about it and i just somehow found out everything I wanted to know. I think they tried once but by that time i didnt feel like talking about it and i just said i know. if ur kids go to a public school then dont worry. if they go to a private schoo. WORRY.
