Re: Talking about Birds and the Bees
I dont think that ignoring is the best option for the sake of childs own safety. Even though i have a 4 year old we have frequent conversations about how some parts of his body are private and no body is allowed to see or touch them except mommy or daddy and that too only when they are helping him wash or change. and we will carry on these discussions to the actual topic of sex and what is acceptable and what is not acceptable with time and age.
There was a recent incident in our social circle between a 13 year old boy and 5 year old girl and what saddened me more was instead of accepting the responsibility the parents of the boy blamed the girl.
We need to equip our kids to deal with such kind of situations.
These days the biggest question in our house is why is my belly so big and would it pop. His mind is unable to accept that there can be a baby inside mommys belly.
