Keep It Simple
When Toni Moccia's 5- and 6-year-old sons asked her how babies were made, she told them about eggs and sperm and then took a big gulp before explaining how the two get together!. "My 5-year-old started to laugh," says Moccia, of Santa Cruz County, California!. "But when he saw the serious expression on my face, he suddenly became anxious and said, 'You're joking, right!?' "

Although kids this age may start wondering how they came into the world, the truth is that they're probably not ready to hear all the details yet!. Though the subjects of genitalia, sexuality, and reproduction are intimately related in adults' minds, 5- and 6-year-olds don't necessarily make the connections we think they will!. For example, just because a girl is curious about the fact that boys have a penis doesn't mean she knows that one is used for more than going to the bathroom!. And a child who learns that a baby grows in her mother's uterus may not even think to ask how it got there in the first place!.

Certainly, because of all the provocative images in the media, 5- and 6-year-olds today may be more likely to ask what sexy means or why grown-ups kiss with open mouths!. "In the real world, where children watch TV, ride on a school bus, and play on the playground, it's a question not of whether they'll find out about sex but who's going to tell them," says Debra W!. Haffner, author of From Diapers to Dating: A Parent's Guide to Raising Sexually Healthy Children (Newmarket Press)!. If your child hears something that she's curious about, she'll probably ask you!. Instead of changing the subject, as many parents do, take advantage of the opportunity to discuss the issues so that you can clear up any misunderstandings your child has and impart your own values!.

"It's always important to make sure that you're answering the question your child is asking," says certified sexuality and family-life educator Deborah Roffman, author of Sex and Sensibility: The Thinking Parent's Guide to Talking Sense About Sex (Perseus)!. The best way to do that is to start by asking, "What do you think!?" Then keep your answer honest, short, and simple, and wait to see if your child has a follow-up question before you elaborate further!. "You don't have to worry about putting ideas in your child's head," Roffman says!. "The questions are his -- you're only providing the details and helping him connect the dots, so to speak!."

Kids' inquiries generally follow a progression that parallels their stages of cognitive development, Roffman explains!. Initially, when a child learns that everything has a beginning and an end, he starts to wonder, Where was I before I was born!? A good answer to that question would be "You came from a special place inside Mommy's tummy called a uterus, or a womb!." Chances are, that will be all your child will want to know!.

At those ages, they don't want details, just glossy facts!. Tell them that babies are created by two people who love each other!. If you believe in God, please give Him credit for the creation - telling them that when two people love each other and they want children, that God blesses them with babies!.

If you are pregnant or someone close to the child is, then it is a good time to share the pregnancy with the child by letting her/him feel the baby kicking!. Explain that God made a special home for the baby to grow in, that the baby is not ready to come out and sleep in a crib yet!. Some books for toddlers or preschoolers may have pictures to show the child what their little sibling looks while you are pregnant!.

If your child is adopted, you may elect to say that the child was chosen or that God chose the child for Mommy and Daddy!. Then explain that Mommy and Daddy love them so much, that God thought they should have a child that was already born!. At that age, they are not likely to ask what happened to their birth parent, but if that happens be nice about it and say that she gave her baby up because she could not take care of it and wanted her baby to have a good home with two parents!.

There are actually books out for preschool children that talk about this very question and some deal with adoption!. Check with the local library to see what they have available!.

As for the truth, when getting more details, as to the sexual action that precedes a pregnancy, do not try to explain that until the child is much older!. Just remember that each child is unique and telling one at say age 8 may be good, but another child at age 8 may not be ready for such in depth information!.

A good rule of the thumb for telling them is the timing for giving information about their own bodies and the changes they will be experiencing soon!.

If the child has witnessed a sexual encounter or walked in on you while you were making love, then take a little more time to explain that some things are meant for parents to know and when they are old enough you will explain more!.

If you are single, then adapt all that I have written for a single parent!. Www@Enter-QA@Com

Always tell them the truth! Just an appropriate amount at a time!. Babies come from mommy's tummies is perfect for a three year old to five year old!.

Add details as the child gets older and seems mature enough to handle the facts!. Telling made up stories just adds to the confusion!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
