Keep it vague and simple obviously varying on the age like 6-12 would get a different version compared to 13-17 you know?

What I would say is, it is a meeting between two individuals who love each other very much that they carry a pregnancy to its full term allow their beautiful gift onto this world. You were brought into this world through your mother’s womb like a caterpillar from a chrysalis undergoing changes and you came out 9 months later.

If it were an older individual 16-17 I’d describe the process in detail, the decisions along the way towards the decision loving couples make to have a baby of their own, talk about consent & birth control & the importance of mental wellbeing, good physical wellbeing, good financial standing, great support, and a need for a loving & nurturing household, etc. to be paramount to raising that child to be a great upstanding citizen when they go into the world they’ll be ready to be a great man or lady.

That is my message and the feeling I want to convey. Thank you.

When mommy and daddy give each other a special hug…..

Just kidding

I don’t honestly know how I would do it

But if the child is too young to know I would praise his curiosity but urge him to wait and all will be revealed in due time

Its important he/she learns patience too 👌🏼

Cutegirl06 · Answer

It depends on the age of the child. If they are 13 I would explain simply how it happens maybe with a book too 🤔

NathanDavis · Answer

the truth... but adjusted to their age, and their education as well

much younger children don't need every specific detail, just a general idea would suffice for them, they don't overcomplicate things, so one should not do that either, for older children and teens, there's a school system or parents planned education about how much they should now regarding anatomy, and sexual health and reproduction

again, no need to get into very specific details but a general idea of how things do work and adjusted to their lever of awareness and comprehension

Nikki1989 · Answer

Babies grow inside their mommy's tummy. They grow and grow until they're ready to come out. When it's time, the baby pushes its way out of the mommy's tummy and into the world. Keep it to a language they can understand.

AviatorTom · Answer

It depends on how old the child is.

If very young, you tell them that Mommy and Daddy get together and make a baby that grows inside Mommy's belly (not stomach) until it comes out through a hole that Mommy has.

As the child gets older, add more details, including how Mommy and Daddy "get together" (intercourse) , how long it takes for the baby to grow, and introduce the word "womb" for "belly".

By the time the child is a teenager, they should fully understand the entire process, including the correct terms to use: penis, vagina, uterus.

DrPepper12 · Answer

I would tell them just like the Virgin Mary, an all knowing, all seeing, spirit will come in the middle of the night, not ask for consent and impregnate a girl and 9 months later a baby is born. I mean the actual FACTS about human reproduction are MUCH more terrifying and children MUST BE SHIELDED FROM NATURAL SCIENCE!! 🙄

here's The Rule people: If they're old enough to ask then they're old enough to know.

If you had to tell a child how babies are born what would you say?

KostasKouvalis · Answer

"There's this stuff called "cum", that resides inside of a man's balls. Do you know what "balls" are. Well, when a man gets turned on by a woman, "do you know what turned on is?" His dick which is usually soft gets hard and it causes the cum to want to go to the surface. Anyways, when he loves a woman, he sticks his hard dick into her pussy (that little slit between her legs), and he slides it "in and out" "in and out", but not completely out, until his cum shoots out and travels up her pussy. But he doesn't need to be on top. Sometimes SHE can be on top. That's called "Cowgirl position." Anyways, his cum mixes with her eggs and if she happens to be ovulating, do you know what "ovulating" is? 9 months later, YOU come out. Any questions?"

Fun fact, the Eskimo tribes of the Arctic find it too tideous to explain so they just give a live demonstration.

Matt_M · Answer

"The man puts his penis into the woman's vagina and they wiggle around a little, which causes the man's penis to release millions of little tadpoles inside the woman. The tadpoles swim down the fallopian tube in search of the egg inside the woman's belly, but most won't survive the trip. When one of the little tadpoles finally finds the egg, it squirms it's way inside the egg, forming the very early stages of what will later become a baby."

All very straightforward. I'm not a parent myself, but I can remember when my mom explained it to me when I was a kid in roughly these same terms. I was about 5 at the time.

GOLDFISH_smile · Answer

How they're born? Well when the baby gets too big to stay in the tummy anymore, a professional (doctor, midwife, whatever) comes and helps the baby come out through below, kinda like pooping. (Assuming this is my child she knows what pooping is.)

I am not explaining where the baby comes out to a child unless they ask, then I will just say it's a different hole not for pooping or peeing, just for baby stuff. That's all u rlly need to know at that age is that u weren't born through the poop or pee hole. If my kid were a c section kid or if she asked about something like that (like what if the baby is too big to come out the hole or some shit), then I would tag on a little c-section explain too (like if they need to doctors will help the baby come out straight through the tummy, that happens sometimes).

Simple concept explanations yknow.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

When a mommy loves a daddy the daddy gives the mom a seed to eat, that seed is a baby and it grows in the mommy's tummy for months. Then when the baby is ready and big enough the doctor takes it out of the tummy. They don't need to know anymore than that as kids.. then the school teaches sex ed and they will find out how it actually works..

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

If they're like little kids, then just tell them they came from your stomach (this will make sense to them if you had a c-section as the way of birth). If they're 12 or 13 and asking how babies are made, then you can have the talk with them about how both guys & girls are different and explain it to them if they want to know what sex is. Plus, when they're 12 or 13 it's not that awkward because they're just innocently asking questions.

slatyb · Answer

I would tell them the truth at a level I thought they could understand. It used to be common for children to see animals copulating. It's only in the past century or so that it "innocence" was considered a virtue. Innocence is just another word for ignorance. When a child is old enough to ask, they are old enough to know.

The_Confusion · Answer

I'd ask chatgpt to write the most complicated biochemical formula in the human reproductive system and use browser's "inspect tool" to change my question to "how are babies made?" And show the question and answer to said child. This will encourage them to study well.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

Nowadays there is an app for everything so if a child asked how babies are born I would come up with some kind of bull$hit story about an app where you request a baby & magically there app beams a baby into a mommies belly & after she eats a really hot burrito the baby launches out.

Smashingdoozy · Answer

Depends on their age and what I feel they're mentally capable of understanding.

Generally under 8 they're not ready for the specifics just the mechanics. So something like babies are in a tummy then they come out through the vagina. If they want more information depending on their age you provide it. If you feel they're too young and won't understand then you tell them that they don't need to know the specifics just yet because it may cause too big feelings.

jshm2 · Answer

To be fair, there is little reason for them to know, at that age.

The only two reasons, off the top of my head, are they are being abused - and want to find out if what they are going through is part of some process. Or they've heard something from someone else and want to confirm.

One is innocent, the other not.

Apple1996 · Answer

I've just told my children the truth about where babies come from. It's easier that way so they are full educated. I don't want them learning this stuff in health class. It needs to come from the parents first

Raaj4you · Answer

I would say, a man and woman can make babies when they become 20 years old. How? Son, When you grow up, fall in love with a beautiful nice girl, marry her, then she will give birth to your babies. I would not explain the process of making babies. 😂😉

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

I would start off as saying "I gave energy to your mom to get pregnant" but when they reach puberty, I would tell them how. And of course I will teach them to be careful, not do anything stupid and let them understand how they're hormones work.

Belgie · Answer

The Daddy gets a tiny bit of himself with a tiny bit of the Mammy, and they mix it all together and plant it in the Mammys belly, where it grows into a baby and it's made up of the best parts of the Daddy and the best parts of the Mommy.

HawkPerception · Answer

The truth.

"When you get older, there will be someone you fall in love with and get naked with. And then there is a physical act of bonding that eventually creates life."

And that's how you came to be.

SotiCoto · Answer

They can't possibly understand anyway... so just tell the truth in a really short but technical way that will just confuse them.  e. g. "Gamete transfer, fertilisation, gestation, expulsion."
