how do i tell my kid what a pepe is and how people are born? it`s my first time saying it!?

Answer 1

You know, I think my son was probably about 8 or 9 when I discussed this with him (needed to get to him before the peers did, you know...lol). I think he was that old. Anyway, there are lots of books out there and you can read them until you are cross-eyed, but the deciding factor will be when one day, your child asks you about his pee-pee and you are going to have the answer on the tip of your tongue automatically. I only have one child myself and he will be 21 in January. It's a built in response, I think. Good luck!

Answer 2

When my first child was born we were so smug and decided that when the time came we would use all the correct names for body parts. Well when he was about 3 he had been swimming with some of the other toddlers, 3 or 4 of which were little girls, in our neighborhood and we were all having lunch. He said in a loud voice "Hey, Mommy, my penis is sticking out", not just once but 3 times before I could get him quieted down. The other mothers were more than a little shocked and how could I blame them they had to then explain something they weren't ready for. Needless to say we made some changes. We explained to him that we liked to call it a pee pee and that was our first discussion about what was appropriate to talk about in mixed company. With my other children we followed their lead and tried to give them as much info as we felt was age appropriate. Good luck raising boys is an adventure to say the least.

Answer 3

always use the proper terms for body parts. don't tell him more than he's asking. birds and bees talk should happen gradually, throughout his childhood.

he doesn't need to know penis in vagina until he's older than 9. that freaks them out anyway.

start with: babies are made when a mommy and daddy get married and love each other and the mommy's egg joins with the daddy's sperm to make a baby which grows in the mommy and then is born. if your child asks questions, answer them briefly, to make sure you aren't saying more than he wants to know.

I was never embarrassed that my children said penis in public. When that disturbed other mothers, I thought they were puritanical idiots. I never conform to idiots. Those teaching their children pepe and other stupid names are the ones who should be embarassed when their kids talk like that.

WHY ON EARTH is it better to say 'my pepe's hanging out?" it's not. how ridiculous. you look far more educated, sensible, and couth when your child talks about his penis than about some slang term.

Answer 4

There are many good books out there that you can read to your child, just check with your local children's library department.

If your child is asking it usually means they are ready to be told. I would not use "pepe", I would use penis.

I would not lie to your child as very few people forget, even as adults, when they were first told about reproduction.

I think if you are very nervous, use the book; otherwise, do not be embarassed, talk to them truthfully and straightforward. AND be sure to tell them about good touch and bad touch.

Answer 5

Do you have a boy or girl??Anyways I don't know about the pepe thing.Good Luck.But I recently had to tell my 6 year old where babies came from.lol.Anyways I got a book from the libary.

Answer 6

ok tell him a pepe is a penis but we call it a "tally-whacker" (just a cute word this lil boy i know says) and tell him BABIES are born from their mommy and daddy playing a little game a certain way and a baby came or u can do it the old fashioned way and say from the baby store or a stork goody luck! lol

Answer 7

what is a pepe? is it a penis or a vagina? how old are your kids? telling them anything too in depth when they are too little to understand won't help. try going to a book store. there are a lot of books to help you out. don't be embarrassed. it will only make them uncomfortable. best of luck. hope i helped.

Answer 8

i didn't use baby names for the parts of the body. i told my kids that boys have a penis, girls have a vulva, and that's where the pee comes out.

(we haven't said anything about the vagina yet - but when the kids ask, i will tell them there is a special opening inside the vulva where babies come out.)

i practiced saying it when my kids were tiny babies - when i changed their diapers. "Now I'm going to clean under your penis," etc. This helped me get used to saying it out loud.

One mistake people make when telling their kids about these things is that they try to tell everything at once. We try to make a point of only answering the question that is asked: "Where do babies come from?: answer: "Babies grow inside the mother's uterus. It's a special place inside the belly."

Try to be relaxed (if you can!) and don't make your child embarassed for asking. You want them to come to YOU for information, not somebody else.

Good luck!
