How do you answear when your young child asks?

LOL! I went through that too, only mine was 6. I kept it simple and just told him it takes a mommy and a daddy to make a baby and left it at that. I told him if he wanted to know more, he'd have to wait till he was older.

I would just tell them "Daddy out it there". If asked how he did that I would give an answer like "Magic. When you get married you wedding I've you magic powers that let you make babies." I think that's a suitable answer for a child that ago.

I would have said that its all the magic of God and he knew every thing better than any of us does and you will know that when you get married.

Tell him plainly that your brother is coming to play with you, do not hide children are more intelligent these days, let him understand.

I just had a similar conversation with my four year old. I'm due in August and she wanted to know how the baby was going to get out. I told her. "Well, she's going to come out of mommies privates". GASP - jaw hits the floor "nu-uh" "Nu-huh kiddo. Or if she can't come out that way the doctor will give mommy a c-section, which is where they cut the baby out of my tummy". I didn't think she believed me. So I made her watch a baby story with me the next day. She doesn't want to have babies now.

My 5 year old daughter asked me that question as well. The way she asked made me laugh, "Do you make a hole to put the baby inside the mommys tummy?" I'm afriad I coped out and told her that when she was older I would tell her all about it. The problem is I gave her the same answer when she was asking about napkins. I have a lot of explaining to do when she gets older. I think a 7 year can understand the concept that it takes a mommy and daddy to make a baby. Actually as I write this I'm wondering how come kids today are asking such questions at young ages. Even though I'm the eldest in my family and I remember my Mom having my younger brother, I was 4, I never asked how the baby got there. It just was. I think I was like 10 or so when I started wondering about these things. Have kids today lost inoncense(sp?) or was I a totally naieve? Sorry I hijacked your question but that just came to me. dreamjapan
