A five year old asking where did i came from?

Question

What would be your answer for a five year old kid asking "Where did I came from?"

Answer 1

I told my son and daughter how babies were made when they were about 5 years old.  I told them the truth using the proper words for it without being crude and too graphic.  They are older now and I am glad that they didnt have to find out from other children in the playground at school.

Answer 2

Simple, honest and direct.

"You came from my womb."  or "You came from my uterus."

Never every say "tummy."  Babies do not grow in the stomach.

When he asks how he got there, tell him, "Mommy and daddy have parts that fit together like puzzle pieces.  Part of you came from daddy and part of you came from me.  Then you grew into a baby in my womb/uterus.

Give him the facts at his level of understanding.

And expect him to ask the same questions over and over.

Answer 3

God has sent a gift to your mom for her good deeds in past and here you are...

Answer 4

I'm 9 months pregnant and my 3 year old nephew has asked how this baby got in my tummy.  It's cute...He thought I ate a baby at first.  We told him that when people love each other they have babies.  He totally bought that for now b/c we got him on a different subject how he used to be in his mommy's tummy.  He was fascinated with that.  A 5 year old might be a little more difficult.

Answer 5

We just read our 5 year old a book about where we come from.  I think it was called "how you were born".

Answer 6

mommies tummie  thats good enough for now

Answer 7

Depending on if you're religious or not I would explain that you came from Heavenly Father.  That he sent your spirit down to this Earth.  Then I would explain whatever your beliefs are regarding this.

Answer 8

Just say they came from mummy's tummy.  Don't lie and make up stories - makes it harder when you have to tell them the facts of life.  I always think if they are old enough to ask the question you should be honest with them.

Answer 9

You came from mummy's and daddy's love

Answer 10

It is all in your level of comfort, you could say that he came from your tummy and say that he was formed out of mommy and daddy's love and needed a place to grow. Or you could do the whole uterus, egg, and seed thing. There are various books that can help you, but some of them are very graphic, just reveal the information on your own comfort level.

Answer 11

The uncomplicated truth is always the best way.

Show him your tummy & explain that you grew inside a part of mummys tummy called a womb.  So he doesnt think you ate a baby!

Tell him that you & daddy made him and that he is a part of daddy & a part of you.  

If he wants clarification of this you could say that daddy planted a seed inside you that grew into him.

Dont be embarrased or shy or you will teach him to be embarrased & shy about it.  Treat it like he was asking you whats for dinner.  

Remember that this is the beginning of the questions and from here on they will get more complicated & indepth and hopefully never end.

You want your child to always feel comfortable asking you questions, without ridicule or sillyness because when they reach puberty & beyond they will need you for the important questions in their life.  If they feel you are interested & willing to talk one on one you will develope a wonderful relationship.

Answer 12

tell him you went to the hospital and picked him out and brought him home!
