Where do children come from
Children are curious by nature and it is inevitable that, sooner or later, They throw us that question so feared by many parents. It is best to answer their questions with great affection and tell them the truth in a way that is proportionate to their capacity for understanding. Resorting to storks and acquisitions in Paris may be inappropriate because it leads to confusion and more doubt.
The first thing we have to take into account is do not tell him fables because, after all, that is falling into a lie. So, what are the best words to talk to the child? Especially our, the way of speaking with which we are accustomed to speak to our son.
Use language appropriate for your age
It is good to use terms that come from nature and convey at the same time the mystery of love between two people and how the son is born from that union. We must avoid too technical words for children, as an ovum or sperm, but it is advisable to use others as seed: "Dad puts a little seed in mom and from there, the baby starts to grow". Children can also ask about the baby's condition: "How is it in there? Are you comfortable?". Here again we have to take hold of the imagination and tell our son that the baby is in a special "cunita" for him, warm, very comfortable and protected by his mother.
The Trust is imperative so that the little ones know that their parents are willing to answer their doubts, but they will look for the answers outside. This trust allows us to correct the child before facts that can provide a distorted view of human sexuality.
