Suppose u r married and have children.If ur 5yr old child asks u how was he born what wouldu tell him?

Question

u know what i mean

Answer 1

I have a 4 year old daughter that asked me that. Since her and Mom do a bit of gardening together, she understands the concept of seeds growing into something else, something beautiful. I simply told her that "Daddy planted a seed in Mommy's tummy and Mommy helped it grow with food and water until it was time for you to bloom like a flower. We went to the doctor to make sure it was time and make sure you were healthy, and here you are!"

Simple and honest without being graphic. Use something the child can relate to and be honest about it.

Answer 2

yes, you tell him... but you don't need the details. A 5 years old will only want a basic explanation.

A good tactic is to answer each question briefly, and let the child ask more if he/she wants... so the child can lead you in explaining as much as he is comfortable knowing or curious about.
There is no reason to be embarassed about it, the child is not embarassed in asking...

If you don't feel ok explaining "the birds and the bees", you can also get an age appropriate book (a librarian will be able to advice you), and read the book with your child.

Answer 3

I would tell him he was born out of the love that you and your wife have for each other. If he asks specific questions I would answer them,but only if he ask specifically. Sometimes we tell a child more than they can comprehend. You know how your child thinks. Is he mature for his age? Sometimes they hear other children talking about things and they want to know also. They just don't know what it is they want to know. There are also many good books on this subject at your local library.

Answer 4

Kids of that age usually don't want or need a whole lot of information...but whatever you tell him, be honest. Use terms he's familiar with.

Since he wants to know how he was born, tell him that he grew in mommy's uterus and when it was time for him to come out you went to the hospital and the doctor helped him to come out.

If he asks other questions, answer them but be short with the answers and be truthful. Really listen to what he is asking too.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Tell him he was born in a hospital and that mommy and daddy REALLY wanted him...that's all that a 5 yr old needs to know..I have a 5 yr old and he just keeps saying "remember you went to the hospital...and the doctor gave you Joe-Joe(his almost 3 yr old brother!)...well..give him BACK to the doctor...cause Joe-Joe is a big brat!" You don't need THAT conversation getting into kindergarten's show and tell day!! The phone will NEVER stop ringing!!!

Answer 6

My 5 yr old asks me that too. I just tell him that he used to be a baby, like his little brother and sister, and that he grew in mommy's tummy until he was ready to come out.
At this point, you just give a simple explanation - don't go into the sex stuff, he's still too little for that. I just stick with a simple thing saying that he grew in mommy's tummy. And he is satisfied with that answer.

Answer 7

Say the truth. Also, there's a lot of literature on this subject. When you tell them the truth, the curiosity is gone and they won't ask you again. It's best they get the information from you and not from someone who is going to misinform them.

Answer 8

The truth. There are books out there that help explain birth to children at different ages of life. Fortunately for me, when my girls ask, I can say by c-section.

Answer 9

I would tell him that he was born from my tummy because mummy and daddy love children so much that god decided to plant a baby tree in mummy's tummy, and when a baby grows big enough, mummy goes to hospital to get it removed and broght home

Answer 10

I was always honest with my children,when they asked at an early age I told them the truth.each one asked.each time they would take off running out of the room and told me I was nasty.
