you explained it better than I could...my almost 5yr old is asking where I pee from as he noticed I dont have a weenie! I still havent gave him a straight answer so any help on that would be appreciated! and of course hes asking how the baby is gonna get out? and how did the baby get in? oh me I just dont know how to explain...my DH just tells him we ordered the baby off of ebay

so hes not any help!

well done I think you did a fab job at explaining it xx

Letia, a great book for that is How Babies Are Made by Steven Schepp and Andrew Andry. The pictures are simple cutouts that explain the process of reproduction. The book begins with flowers and pollination and progresses steadily towards human fertilization. No shocks, no surprises, just simple facts clearly stated.

Shinning Star, I think you've explained mentruation really well. If you or anyone else wants any further ideas for explaining it to small children I found a great website link at: http://parents.berkeley.edu/advice/h...s_explain.html

Hope that helps xx

I don't know why, but I just found this incredibly funny. Like you just happened to not notice a large raw steak or something and sat down on it!

Lol, one of the kids i look after once came in and said ''what a compon'' ..... he was getting confused with a condom and a tampon, info from older boys, but his mum explained it fully and yeah i agree honestly being best,
His younger brother however, doesnt know fully, and once on the street we saw USED condom on the ground, and he asked why there was a willyglove on the street? and when we got home his mum asked if it was used or was there juice in it, to which point he asked why would there be juice in it... !
i think you explained it well!!

sounds like you handles the questions really well , i think it is generally best to answer their questions about things honestly but without being in appropriate , and it sounds like you met that mark perfectly.
if he tells kids at school then atleast he will be telling them the truth rather than some made up story, if their parentsare uncomfortable with it then thats their problem
