At about the age of 3-4, babies begin to wonder how they were born. The child already understands that he was not there before, that mom and dad lived alone. Therefore, he is worried about where he came from. At the same time, parents need to be ready to thoroughly tell the baby about his origin.
Instructions
Step 1
Of course, one should not go into details. A child at this age simply will not understand them. In addition, children often ask leading questions in a conversation, and they want to hear the answer to them. Sometimes they don't need detailed answers at all. Therefore, when talking, focus on the needs and age of the child.
Step 2
It is good if the parents together can explain such a delicate issue to the baby. Answer the child sincerely, start the story with how you met, what feelings you experienced. Tell us about how you got married. Use love and tenderness as the key words in your story. Explain that when grown men and women love each other, they want to live together and have children.
Step 3
Then smoothly go to conception. For kids 3-4 years of age, a story will be enough from the fact that daddy's "seed" connects with mom's and gets into the tummy. There the baby gradually grows, and when the time comes to be born to him, the mother goes to the doctor, and he takes the baby out of the mother's belly. Children may not be interested in how daddy's "seed" gets to mom, how a doctor gets a baby. If the child does not ask, you should not burden him with too much new information. The time will come, and the baby himself will return to this issue.
Step 4
With older children, you can look through the children's encyclopedia together, which will indicate the features of the structure of the body of both sexes. Tell your child what the genitals of a man and a woman are called. Now you can explain the process of conception in more detail. Start with the fact that sperm cells, or "tadpoles," are formed in the daddy, which penetrate into the mother's stomach through a slit and there they connect with the egg. As a result, a small man is formed, which begins to grow and after nine months is ready to be born.
Step 5
Usually children, after such answers, completely satisfy their curiosity. Therefore, you should not be ashamed to talk with your baby about such topics. This is completely normal. Better let the child learn the secret of his origin from you than from peers in the playground or in kindergarten.
