my little sister (who is five) asked me how they got out (i think she thinks they just grow in you when you get older haha) so i asked her how she thought they came out so she told me she thought they are sucked out your belly button, thats why we have belly buttons haha. i just agreed, i'l let her in on the real way when she a little older lol

i find it easier answerin her by askin her how she thought it happened, its kinda funny too just see how they answer you xx

I asked my mother when I was about 3 or 4 and she was very honest with me. She only used simple terms that I would be able to understand. How a women has a special place for the baby to grown, and how the daddy give her a special peice of himself. She also explained that women have a part of them that is made for the baby to come out of. I can honestly say, I don't remember learning about sex, because it was something I just knew about, and I was never uncomfortable discussing it with her either. ONe thing you might do is head to the book store and see if there is maybe a book about where babies come from that is geared towards your age children.

My little brother asked me how the baby got in there and I just said 'ask your dad' lol. I figured I didn't want to be telling him something that my parents wouldn't be happy with me saying!

I was always told that a baby comes when a mummy and a daddy love each other in a special way, or something like that.

I hope you find the right way It must be a difficult thing to talk about with a young child.

This is how I've handled it with DD#1. She started asking similar questions at a similar age, and I answered very similarly as Sam's mom. As Sheridan got older, and her questions became more complex and her understanding became more mature, the answers I gave were more detailed.

I was also always quite up front about biological issues. DD was quite curious and didn't seemed phased or sensitive by the dead honest answers (some kids might have fears or sensitivities you have to be aware of though).

Also, this question isn't going to get asked just once. You'll have to repeat your answer again and again and again over the course of time. It is a curious thing, our bodies, and kids are VERY curious little creatures

You'll do great mama~!
