The Birds and the Bees

[carebear]

Simple in my case.

Have 2 hamsters of different sex.
Kids witnessed the mating, the pregnancy and the birth of 4 hamster pups.
Also saw how mommy hamster nursed the pups until they were independent.

I have a difficulties to tell my kids about sex. Anyone can help?

Perhaps if you can elaborate on the ages and sex of your kids… That may help in getting the appropriate responses?

hi everyone!!!

exams are over(at least till the learning bug hit again)!! now currently doing up resume and catching up w myself, friends and books!

hope everyone is fine too! by the way, any good books to talk about the birds n bees to a 4 year old? i think the first question should be \"should i tell her at this age?\" she has asked me at least thrice. \"how come only women get pregnant?,\" \"how did i get in your tummy?\".
so far, not knowing how to start, i've mentioned \" special parts that daddy and mummy have\", \" let's go to the library, (she forgot about the book in her search for fast cars..)\"
ur advice o should i tell her now? and if yes, any good books to recommend? and is there any homework i should do?

Just go with the flow and let it be natural. When they ask something, just answer honestly but prudishly. You can use euphemisms too…

seems like you are in the 'safe sex' camp rather than the 'abstinence' camp...

Something to share


Last few days I was chit chatting with my son who is six year old now.
Me: “Boy, you must remember not to let people touch your bird bird, only daddy and mummy can touch”

Son: “ok ok, teacher also teach us this”

After a while, I asked him

Me: “Boy, who can touch your bird bird”

Son: “only girls can touch”

My hubby: “ This is when you grow up”

:faint:
