My 6 year old daughter hasn't asked about s*x..?

Question

I just had a baby two months ago and I was expecting questions from my four year old and 6 year old on making babies and how they come into the world. But I have got nothing.... Not a single question. Is this normal? I haven't brought it up because I figured they would. Most kids at that age usually ask questions. At least from what I have been told. Is anyone else experiancing this with their young children?

Answer 1

i did not ask untill i was 10 and i'm the oldest and i have 3 sisters

Answer 2

good.

Answer 3

Yes very normal and really it's a good thing.

Answer 4

IT  will happen  proable  when your  entertaining  guest,  or in  a  crowded  line at  Wal Mart,  or even just  in the  bathroom changing  clothes. There  are  great  guide  books  available at  library to read  this  age  group.  Good luck,  *mamatx

Answer 5

If they havent asked then they obviously dont really care at the moment about it

Answer 6

dont worry they probably have there own ideas and things on where babies come from so dont stress it will happen!

Answer 7

My 6 yr old son asked a few questions but he was more worried about if it was a brother or sister, and what he coudl do to help, and when it was moving could he feel it, could he talk to it read to it. Kids have so much going threw their minds that it makes sence for them not to care about how the baby got in there but how life was gonna be with it.

Answer 8

Why is this a big thing...Maybe your babies are busy being kids and are not concerned about how EXACTLY the new baby was brought into this world.....Let it be! Thisis not a tragedy nor even a good topic for discussion....Let a kid be a kid alot longer before thay grow up and have to face reality and all the bull **** that comes with it.....

Answer 9

I have no children of mt own but i can tell you how i was brought into knowledge of s*x, and is the accepted technique by the whole family on how to do it.

for me i didn't ask questions. so, when my friend got a new little brother my parents sat me down and asked what i thought happened and they told me that boys have penises and girls have vaginas. they use these to have s*x (without giving details) an a baby is born out of the woman's v****a. This was at about 8 years old and i think it was specific enough for me to understand what happened but simple enough to be comprehendable. don't assume they will bring it up, because many kids don't. wait until you feel they are mature enough to comprehend what you are saying, and have "the talk." but if they aren't ready, they aren't ready.

hope this helped, and good luck! :D

Answer 10

not all kids ask because they know how. they learn from tv,friends,and a bunch of other things. and they know asking will be akward. also maybe they havent figured out that you and ur husband or bf had to make a baby together.

Answer 11

Don't worry. She knows everything........everything...

Answer 12

My 6 year old hasn't had any questions. She was 4½ when my next was born and I'm pregnant again. It's normal. They really don't care where they come from. They're just cute/annoying, and take all mommy's attention. That's all they care about.

Answer 13

Well when i was about 6 I already knew how babies were made,,so maybe they already were hinted about it?

Good luck!(:

Answer 14

I never asked and I didn't know any thing and I didn't care! I don't think there is anything wrong with that, I gradually learned all I needed to know. Just make sure she has someone to trust and ask her questions,

Answer 15

Aren't you lucky lol maybe they talked about it at school? s*x education classes or from friends? You should talk to her about it anyway in case she has the wrong ideas and is too embarrassed to ask you. Ask her where she thinks her baby brother/sister comes from and go from there

Answer 16

My brother was born when I was six years old, and I never asked "the question." Nor did my other brother, who was a year younger than me at the time.

If they don't ask, I wouldn't worry too much about it. They'll cover everything thoroughly in health class for years to come, anyway.

Answer 17

My daughter was 4 1/2 when I had a baby.  She never asked questions then.  She's 7 now and still no questions.  I think the only thing I told her was where the baby really comes out of; probably because she made some comment or something.  Can't remember really.  But I agree with the others.  Probably has no interest in knowing.

Answer 18

Ok one your a bad parent if you think that your child should know about you know what. AT SIX!!!!!!!

Answer 19

when i was young i thought if u think hard enough u can make a baby so maybe they think like that

Answer 20

They aren't exactly sure but they just aren't curiouse yet. Don't worry though, they will get to the phaze where they want to know everything about how baby's are made. By the way, congradulations on the baby! :)

Answer 21

Maybe they alrady know.. did they ask someone else about it? Maybe their taecher? It's also posssible that they don't care..

Answer 22

don't worry I didn't ask any questions when I was that age its normal most likely they'll learn about s*x on their own like most kids do

Answer 23

They have not been exposed tot he concept of the idea of s*x. let time pass by, i'm sure by their teen years they will be more curious, since teenage years are the years of raging hormones. Hope this helps.

Answer 24

Its not like in the movie lol.

I found out where kids come from at age of like 6 or 7.( my friends on the street told me lol)

Now I'm over 20 and it feels like a  6 year old knows more about s*x than me LOL.

Don't worry its just how it is.Children evolve in the world faster than we imagine.

Answer 25

oh, it'll come. trust

no rush ya diggg?

Answer 26

Often kids at a very young age often don't think linearly about how things got from here to there. They just accept the obvious. And, I've found that many kids these ages may ask a question about why something occurs, but usually either have their own opinion and won't accept your's anyways or just accept any answer as the truth.

In short, if your kids haven't asked about it, chances are that they have already come to their own conclusions about it or simply don't care. They just accept that there is a baby there and that's that. And, fortunately for you, you don't have to try to make up an explanation of the birds and the bees to two kids who are too young for the truth. When they become curious, they'll ask. Otherwise, consider yourself lucky :-)

And, btw, congrats on the new baby :-)

I also wanted to add that when I never asked my parents about where babies came from at that young of an age. I don't remember having a conscious thought about it all. I just accepted they were there. It wasn't until I was about 8 that I asked my mom what "s*x" was because I had heard the word. That's when she explained it to me. So, my best guess is that the thought doesn't even occur to your kids about what caused the baby to come.
