Hello to all mylotters currently in the questions and answers section today and many days to come. If I was your 7 year old son and I asked you where do babies come from, how would you answer me? This is a current situation I am in. Suggestions?

Yes just be honest and tell the truth with simple words, he will learn in another place and if you say something that is not honest you will be a liar in his eyes, therefore no trust for your opinions anymore!

I totally agree with you. I never tell my children untruthful things. But sometimes it is hard to find the right words to say.

I would tell him that he comes from mommy's belly and is made out of love. That he is a part of you and of his father. If he asks any more questions and if you feel that he is not old enough to know more then try to distract him.

I have told him that he comes from my belly but he is more curious about how they come out. I do not like to tell my kids things at are untrue but I don't want to ignore them either. Its just tough.

Hi, I have a daughter of the same age and i know we literally have to scratch our head on how to answer them in a convincing way. I told her that she was a gift from god . we prayed so hard that we were blessed with an angel like her. till the time mommy and daddy were not ready to get the gift she was sleeping inside a lotus flower. do some variation to this and tell your son. think hard.

My mom used to tell me I was brought from a hospital which gives children to the loving parents and I believed it till I was 10 years old to observe pregnants around me

I would say that a baby come from a woman and man when they really love each other and they will make a baby. Of course you could go with if he is really super smart he prob will know it mommy and daddy get together with lots of love and make a baby. Of course it clear to be honest about wheres babies come from esp if you are soon be expecting.... so he probably will learn about it from a book soon as he get that book.

You are right about being honest. He is my baby and the last one out of 4. This may be why he wonders about it so much:)
