I think I said too much about Sex to my six year old, how do explain better?

Question

My son was visiting his Grandparents, and the older kids next door told him about sex.
He was told they told him to keep it a secret.
It all started when he saw a couple kissing and he said they were sexing.
We said no they were kissing.
He kept saying that kissing was sex and I said sex was something Mommys and Daddys do to have a baby (AAAGHHH).
I think I said too much or he sensed my ackwardness, because he talks about sex all the time now.
I was talking to my Husband about my sister going to the doctor to have a baby and my son blurted out why doesn't she have sex.
Help!!!!!
I just don't know how to fix this.

Answer 1

Hello!

I have a six year old daughter with whom I have already had the sex talk. Girls are a little more mature than boys, but I think that at any time the child is exposed to information about sex, a parent should back that up with facts. I wanted to make sure that I was getting to her first with the right info, so we actually talked about it when she was five. I used the correct names of body parts and gave her the technical information. (Nothing spicy!) She rarely brings it up, I think I made it sound really boring! Good luck to you, I know that there are several books for kids on this subject.

Don't make sex look like a bad thing, or else you're going to have an extremely akward teenager in your near future. What you do is sit down and talkw ith him to the best of your ability, and explain to him that it's a private subject, and that he shouldn't blurt such stuff out and public. Tell him that its not a naughty thing, but it isn't right to be so "open" about it. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

I'm sorry, but that is sooo cute, lol. But just tell him it's something adults talk about, and he has to wait until he's an adult to talk about it. I mean, he can't start school, and be in class talking about sex, right? Well, you already told him the basics, but he's too young to be talking about it. Think of something to do whenever he says the word "sex" like taking a toy, or a one minute time out. He can't go around thinking he's grown. Hope this helps....

No, no, don't freak out, you're okay! Little kids tend to have freaky reactions, especially when they can tell Mommy or Daddy are weirded out by their questions. Number one, GET BOOKS!! "Where Did I Come From?" is just great (my mom has used from my childhood- I'm 28- to my youngest, now-6-year-old sister), and may answer most or all of his questions- it's a classic for good reasons.
You need to make sure he understands the basics of babymaking, and that he knows he can come to you ANY TIME with questions about sexuality. Make sure he knows that even if you seem angry, you're NOT, it's just that you're not used to explaining these 'Grownup Things.' And, while you're at it, see what you can do to find out what exactly, word-for-word, these older kids told him. They may be clinically correct, or terribly misinformed, or (hope not!) trying to demonstrate what they think they know. Just remember how easy it is to scare the crap out of kids- try to seem understanding, and do your best to make sure you're telling him the things he really needs to know.

Answer 5

You can't nessicarly undo the already done but you can either explain the whole thing now (it has been done at early as the age of five) I do not recommend it (it can back fire) or you can tell him that sex is not something that should be talk about in the open. not much else you can do

Answer 6

Maybe he likes to see you sweat,just don't react if he yells something out about sex at home and hopefully he'll have it out of his system by the time you get out in public.
