Question by monkhelz:

How honest should I be with my child about sex/babies?

My eldest daughter is 5 and when she asked about how she was born, I was honest and told her babies are born through a ladies "flower" as she calls it. She was fascinated and that satisfied her curiosity. I don't want to have to tell her about the sex part so soon, though I won't lie to her or make her feel bad for asking about it. Is it ok to tell her babies are made when mummies and daddies have special grown up kisses and cuddles? She already knows that babies take two people to make, just not how.
May I add that my daughter is very articulate, clever and loves learning. She naturally asks questions and I feel it would insult her to lie. We have a great mother/daughter relationship and I love her dearly. I feel if she is old enough to ask, she is old enough to know.....

Answer by Purrsona
it depends how you want her to grow up... there are some people who say that a child who is deprived of this knowledge grows up 'sexually awkward' or 'insecure' because when they grow up they are unsure of what to do when its thier time............ im not really sure how to explain it... but it really does depend how you want your child to be when they grow up.
