How does a baby come out of a tummy?

    OK, I need answers quick. My son, the 4-year-old, was at the dentist's office the other day and we were talking about how the dentist's baby was almost ready to come out of her tummy. Then he asked me this question and the pressure was on. He wants to know if there's a hole, and where it is. :/


    What would you tell him?
     
  2. Gloss it over with...
    You go to the Doctor, and, the Doctor takes it out...

    all that is needed to be known at this point :)
     
  3. that doesn't exactly solve the hole part though...and if hts' son is a pretty smart guy...he will wanna know how the doctor gets it out...eh, well if your son is a mature kind of guy (and from what I have heard, he is pretty intelligent) you may as well try telling the truth...cause sometimes it can get out of hand and...well...he will eventually find out the truth anyway :p


    edit: and remember the time he broght home that anatomically correct dog made from clay? that's a pretty big step for a 4 year old...

    another edit: my honest opinion on it...us humans have been shielding our children from the real world for a really long time...they really don't start learning much till they are 10 or older, but in my opinion, we really shouldn't worry about what they know when...if you think they can handle it, go for it.

    If you bring them up knowing what's right from wrong, then knowledge of stuff like this is an ally, not a risk.
    I actually learned about "the birds and the bees" at a pretty early age...(I believe I was around 6 or 7) [brag]cause I was quite the intelligent little kid[/brag] :D

    I think I'd go with the truth. Tell him a stork takes it out :D
     
  5. *shrugs*

    I wouldn't go for the truth personally...
    because once you tell him the truth, he'll be asking well, how'd the baby get in there? etc etc..

    next think you know, you have a 4 year old asking men if they have any 'little soldiers'. :/

    Go for the stork. :/
     
  6. its the stork?? .... you learn a new thing every day...I knew those crazy sex ed bastards were lying :p
     
  7. Tell the child the truth, better he learns while he's curious then when he's older and becomes emotionally devasted by it.
     
  8. damn, im missing something, i never asked my parents that :confused:

    How the hell does your son get on these topics? What are you exposing your child to?

    He went to the dentist. She's pregnant and about to burst. I told him her baby was almost ready to come out of her tummy. He got curious and insisted I tell him how the baby comes out.

    I told him I would tell him later. The dentist thought it was hilarious. She laughed and said to him, "You've made your mommy blush!"

    Just when you thought you could answer any question a kid could ask this happens. How to maintane his inocents and explain this to him.

    Hey tell him it magically comes out. Just like Santa Claus magically comes into the house.

    Hey, it was just a sugestion.

    Can I have kids now?
     
  19. Seriously! Most shirnks say its better to just tell the kid how it works then go off making up some story about storks and other such claptrap.

    I mean, do you want your kid to hear it from you, when you can affect what kind of ideas he has about it, or from his health teacher in junior high? I'd perfer the former.
     
  20. have your kid watch alien and tell'em thats how babies come out :)
