Parenting
As your little ones grow, they might start asking the big question: “Where do babies come from?” Knowing how to respond can feel daunting. Fortunately, Dr. Nia Bloom recently shared her expertise with Maxine the Vagina to help parents tackle this sensitive topic with confidence. Here’s what you need to know.
Encourage Questions First
Start by inviting your child to ask questions. This way, you can provide answers that are age-appropriate and direct. Keep your responses straightforward, so your child doesn’t feel overwhelmed. For instance, if they inquire, “Is there a baby in your belly?” you can simply explain that a baby develops in a uterus.
Be Honest, But Not Overly Detailed
While it’s essential to provide truthful information, there’s no need to dive into every detail. Sometimes, giving too much information can be more confusing than helpful. Pay attention to their follow-up questions and answer only what they’re genuinely curious about. A concise reply could very well satisfy their curiosity and keep the conversation flowing.
