My boys are asking alot of baby/sex related questions? Is this normal at such a young age?
Answer:
Actually this is the age it starts. Trust me I'm a mother of three boys. My youngest is 8 and he comes up with some pretty, shall we say, interesting things. There's a great book called "Where did I come from" and it really helps.
As for being "obsessed" with their nudity it's just natural and with you having two at such a young age they are playing off each other. One does it, so the other must follow. My son is obsessed with it too. In fact, if you pardon my language, my son said to his step dad that the Grinch has a hard on for Christmas! We don't talk like that because we don't want him picking up on it. You'd be amazed with what they hear at school.
Don't worry you're boys are normal, just tell them that that type of language makes you uncomfortable and there's a time and place for being naked. In the middle of the living room is not it. I can manage to keep my son in his underwear with nothing else! I swear as soon as he comes home he undresses before he gets into the living room!
Don't be worried, if you think it's out of hand then you can always take them to their docs and they'll probably tell you the same thing.
Just say "There's a time and place for such things. You should not run around naked in front of ladies, mommy included." As for that language tell them the same "That language is unacceptable in our home, we don't want to hear about your butt or anything else unless theirs a problem"
Good luck to you!
Sounds like some kid in your son's class is saying stuff... and they're curious. Sometimes you have to be a little vague and hope they understand... like the easter bunny or santa...
just tell them that God sends the baby into the mommys belly until the baby is ready to be born so that the mommy and daddy can have a family
yup, and you want to be honest, even clinical, about it. you could also schedule an appointment with their doc so he/she can explain the facts of life to them. it is totally normal at that age to be curious about it. if you are too vague about it, they will get the idea that it is something forbidden/shameful, or they will get their information elsewhere, and probably get the wrong information. be honest with them
this is completely normal ... my mum delivered 3 twins and at the age of 6 ... they got curious about their body ... u have to sit and talk with them thats the best thing to do and tell them all about it ... not tooooooo much of details ... cuz they dont knw how it is they will keep thinking about it ... when u tell them ... they loose intrest with time ... that is its done they knw about it ... wat else to find out about .
I would suggest going to your local library and checking out a few books for kids about how babies are made... then you and your sons could read them together. This would take the pressure off of you to come up with age-approprate answers. Just make sure to READ the books before you check them out - to make sure they convey a message you are comfortable with.
With the way today's society is going they will ask these questions earlier. I think you should tell them all about sex but not until they reach the age of ten or so.
Yes, it's totally normal to be curious about sex and body parts. There are lots of good books out there that explain sex at appropriate levels for their ages - go to your local book store and ask for details and then sit down with the kids and read the books together. Keep answering their questions and be as honest as you can. I'm sure you'd much rather have the info come from you than from others...
It's totally normal. Our son is 11 now, but when he was 4 he asked where babies come from. You have to really listen to what they are asking before you answer. When he asked that question, he really wanted to know only where they come FROM. As in a mommy's tummy. As he got older, his questions became more precise. We actually had to sit him down when he was 9 & tell him everything. You just need to remember that if you are uncomfortable talking about this, they will be uncomfortable hearing it. You need to give age appropriate answers to the questions that are asked & do not volunteer extra info. Our parenting philosophy has always been that if they are old enough to ask the question, they are old enough for an age appropriate answer.
When my kids ask these things I answer their questions very simply, without too much info. They usually don't want a big ol long explanation. Just a simple answer, but not lies like the stork or anything. Then I ask if theres anything else they want to know, usually they say no, but just cause they ask how sperm gets into the women does not mean they want to know any more about sex, just how it gets there. I would say the daddy puts it there and leave it at that. Then if they want more info they will ask.
It is completely normal.
Tell them everything they want to know, better they learn it from you then figuring it out with the little girl down the street.
Impress upon them the idea of "privacy" and "privates" That which is private needs to be talked about in private and not in the subway or at your next dinner party
yes everyone dose it
Trust me its normal. Thats all me and my friends ever talked about when i was that age... now i'm 13 and my mom is TRYING to get me to talk but i dont want to!! If I were you I'd get it over with now so that when they really need to know they wont have to carry the burden of not having "The Talk". But don't forget, since they are young, they dont need to know all the graphics. You may want to go to the local library and find child based books on sex. Read it with them and let them ask any appropriate questions. Good Luck!!

When I was pregnant with my sixth kid, my oldest, 6, popped the all dreaded question.
It just so happened that my 4, 4, 3, and 2 year olds were at the table.
We tried the "god puts a baby in the mommy's tummy", the stork, everything.
But he asked so much until we just told him that when he turns older he can know.
I had to tell him on thursday because I had my son.
We did not get into the whole sex talk but we told him that a mommy has eggies in her tummy, and a daddy has sperms in him. When the sperm meets the eggies, god makes a baby.
Luckily that was enough to keep him wondering for now!
I watch me niece and nephew when there not in school and they asked me where do babies come from..I didn't want to act like something was wrong or that it made me feel uncomfortable ( I was shocked because there too are 6 and 7). I told them that boys have seeds and when you get married a man will give his seeds to his wife which she will put inside her egg and it will grow and make a baby. I told them about planting seeds into a flower pot and how grows into a flower and about eggs hatching into chickens. That was what I came up with off of the top of my head. I didn't want to tell them something that there mom would get mad about, but the are not like most 6 and 7 year olds that watch almost whatever they want on TV. The 7 year old is 7 going on 21 she reminds me of the little Bratz dolls (her moms doing, she will regret that when she is in her teen years). The 6 year old is a perv. and his mom tells him that. But if you don't tell them something than they will ask there friends and they will get mixed information. As for how does the sperm gets into a woman I would tell them either when they are married they will find that out or you could lie and tell them something else, I would tell them that they will get that talk when they turn 13. Just like when you turn 16 you get a drivers license, there are somthings that yiou have to be a certain age to know. My friends mom was a nurse and she told her kids when they went into kindergarten I wouldn't have told them that young the entire facts of life. ~Good Luck~
