You don't ever want to use the stork story or lie to them about it no matter what age they are because that will cause, in turn, trust issues between the child and parent(s),

and confusion. Just tell them the truth. Just say this:

"Well, to make a baby, a mommy and a daddy show a certain way that they love each other. And it's only meant for mommys

and daddys.

Not for kids. (You always want to make sure, that you let the child know what's appropiate

for them and not appropiate

for them). And they do this because they love each other and they want a baby. So once they do this activity, the baby is made and it grows inside mommys

tummy for nine months. Then when it's time for the baby to be born, daddy has to take mommy to the hospital so she can have the baby. And the baby comes out of mommy's vagina."

Depending upon the age of the child you may wish to use the description above or you may chose to use a story to avoid the deludge

of possible questions a child may ask such as "what is the certain way?" "what is a vagina?" "how does the baby get in the tummy?" "is the baby to big to come out that way?" ect.


The story of the Stork bringing the baby and the story of babies coming from the cabbage patch are American classics that have been told to fairly young children for decades and decades,and

are no different from the stories told to young children of the Toothfairy,Santa

Claus and the Easter Bunny..
As the child matures mentally the belief in these stories fades away and by age 11 the vast majority of children no longer believe in them but still enjoy the activities that surround these stories,these

stories have not been directly proven to cause trust issues between children and parents.
Millions and millions of parents pass these stories on to their children as tradition,for

fun and enjoyment and also as a way to explain certain things to a child in a manner which they can understand when they may be too young to be told about the general workings...
Millions of children are told these kinds stories and grow up to be fine adults that do not suffer from trust issues because they onced

believed in the easter

bunny,the

stork,the

cabbage patch,elves,fairy's,unicorns

or other childhood myths..



I have 4 kids and promised myself as a young woman that I would be open and honest with my kids about sex; I think it doesn't matter what age they are, if they ask questions about their body or babies, BE HONEST and age appropriate.

When my son at 3 yrs old asked after a bath one evening what his body part was, I answered truthfully that they were his testicles. Didn't get into a long discussion, just named the part (just like elbow, knee, ears, etc.) He followed up with, "what are they for?". Again I answered age appropriately and honestly that they were so he and his wife could have babies when he was older. Those short answers were all he needed at that moment.

Later (about 12 or so) I found "girlie pictures" in his room. I asked him (non threatening) what the pictures were about and where did he get them? He told me his friend had given them to him because the friend was afraid his mom would find them. (Well, I found them?) I talked with him and told him that it was perfectly natural for boys to be starting to be curious about girls and sex at his age, and that I knew he and his friends were talking about it. I just asked him to promise me that he would ask me his questions because I REALLY wanted him to have correct information, and his friends probably didn't have it, or all of it anyway.

Amazingly enough two weeks later he took me up on the promise. I was sweating bullets and nervous, but committed to my kids. He asked WONDERFUL questions, like "how do I avoid getting AIDS?"; "how will I know what to do?"; "what does it feel like?'; "when should I start becoming sexually active?. Wow, I wasn't prepared for those, but my value system lead me through, as well as my heart, and truthful answers about the physical mechanics.

That conversation opened up what has been a lifelong connection and bond. When he dated at 16 yrs, we had an open conversation about him taking responsibility for his own sexuality and fertility and that he needed to make sure that if he decided to have sex that he use reliable Birth Control and protect both himself and his girlfriend. I didn't encourage him to become sexually active, because of my value system, but I gave him the information and still kept the communication going.

My daughters were raised the same way. As they asked questions, I answered honestly, and I asked that they come to me for information about sex, babies, dating, etc. They have all been open with me as I have been truthful with them. My middle daughter recently informed me that she doesn't care who else is there when she has her first baby, she just wants her mom. I feel honored to be a part of their sexual lives just as much as any other part. In the end, don't push your kids, they'll start asking questions when they're ready;

whatever the age. BE HONEST (practice with a friend or your spouse if you're really nervous). If your kids don't start the conversation, just ask simple, non- threatening questions. LOVE your kids enough to stretch yourself to be open, honest and loving with them about their sexuality; it's one of the best bonds you'll form with them.

When answering a kids question, on where do baby come from, you have to know the level of understanding of the child. If the child is in grade school, in a way you can explain briefly and simply the process of conception, pregnancy and birth. If the child is below 5, they are more into imagination, so you can tell in simple yet easy to understand terms.

Two things are needed to make a baby: a sperm cell and an egg cell. A man makes the sperm cell inside his body and a woman makes the egg cell inside her body.

Both the sperm cell and egg cell are very small. You would need a microscope to see them in real life. A microscope is like a magnifying glass, only much stronger.

When the sperm cell and the egg cell meet each other, they make a tiny baby that's smaller than a grain of salt. The baby will grow inside a special place in woman's body called the uterus. After about nine months, the baby will come out as a little boy or girl.
