My daughter just asked me where babys come from.What do I tell her?

Question

My 10 year old just asked me where babys come from. What do I tell her???

Answer 1

it depends on her if she is mature tell her if she is not then say the stork

Answer 2

At ten years old, she is old enough to know the truth about it, especially if she asked you.

Talk to her about s*x, conception, and puberty, because she will start noticing changes in her own body before you know it.  You also might want to get her an age-appropriate book that she can read and consult, just in case she wants to look up something on her own without asking you about it.  But make it clear that you are always there to talk with her about it and answer any questions she may have.

Good luck!

Answer 3

tell her the simple way.

Answer 4

I would say the truth.  Not all the details but don't lie to her.  

I have to share a funny story....

I am a preschool teacher and while I was pregnant a little girl came up to me and asked how the baby got in my tummy.  I wasn't sure what to say but before I could say a thing she asked me, "Did you swallow your baby?"  Lol!  Kids are too, too funny!

Answer 5

Well if you don't know then you really do have a problem don't you?  How about the truth.

Answer 6

tell her that when 2 people are in love, and they are ready to have children, then God gives them a baby into the Mommy's stomach. and when the baby is developed, then the mommy goes to the doctor and they cut her tummy open and take the baby out. you don't want to gross her out. i hope i was helpful!

this is what my mom told me when i was little, and i believed her.

Answer 7

Tell her when two people truly love each other and have been together for a long time and gotten marry they both made a baby which the woman carry in her belly for 9 months so the baby can get ready to come out. then the baby is born from the mommy's private and thats it. shes 10 she needs to know how it happen but not go deeply in detail. definitely dont lie or make it unreal, just tell her the truth in your own words and that should be good.

Answer 8

She is old enough to know the truth...at 10 y/o she can start her period...and it is better to educate her then for her to find out by herself and that might wrong education...and i bet she knows more that you think!

Answer 9

I didn't figure it out until I was in 4th grade, than in 5th grade we watched a puberty movie, so i'd say she's heard something in school that she wants to know the truth.  I'd say it's up to you but she might already know.

Answer 10

Say that..."They come from a tower in the middle of the world then inside of the tower, god builds people and he puts a battery in the human and they come down the tower and god assigns them parents!

Good luck! :)

Answer 11

Tell her the truth but not all of it, explain how two people "love" each other but dont tell her how the baby is actually made ... give her enough information were she will let her imagination figure out the rest. She is old enough to know the small facts not the whole "s*x" facts. Good luck!

Answer 12

That when two ppl meet and love each very much they bond in a special way.and have babies.

or just say from ur ....u know.

Answer 13

tell her the basic info  

Answer 14

actually tell her, i think she'll be mature enough to handle it

Answer 15

your 10 year old doesn't know where babies come from?

try the truth.

Answer 16

the truth say "from me"

Answer 17

My 7 year old niece knows where babies come from, and how they get out.  She once explained it to a friend.  

Kids are smart and can understand a lot.  Just tell her the truth, in plain, simple terms that she can understand.

Answer 18

the truth! 11 year olds are having babies more often than i care to think about now so you better get busy with the facts before she becomes a statistic!

Answer 19

There are books out there that give the absolute best answers to offer children on every conceivable subject.  They helped me greatly.  Do some research, then based on your own findings, and based on the fact that you know your 10 year old like no one else, give her an honest and realistic answer.  Remember, whatever you tell her will be remembered and she'll envision what you say and really soak it in.  So give her an age appropriate answer that won't make her want to vomit :-)

Or you can go the "stork" route!! - just kidding.

Answer 20

your daughter is old enough to learn about the reproductive system because if she has not started menstrating she will soon and you should explain why she is bleeding so i would tell her everything from eggs and sperm to the fact that menstrual blood is an unused egg be honest with her because you want her to be honest with her. By the way my 4 year old asked me the same thing i told her from my stomach the doctors will take it out me i have time before i have to get to the nitty gritty(= good luck

Answer 21

the truth

Answer 22

Oh.MY.GOD. She is 10 years old! she deserves to know! She is ol

d enough! In fact, she should have been told by now! Definitly tell her, and if you actually can't tell her that, then how the heck are you ever gonna be able to talk about other things like that when shes older!

Jashin!! Tell her! Dont lie to your kids and also, what is the reason you have for NOT telling her when she first asked....theres nothing wrong with explaining s*x and pregnancy and WHERE the baby comes out of.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Answer 23

Tell her that it's confusing and that you'll tell her in 2 years or so when she can understand it better.

Answer 24

the truth.

Answer 25

go to any local libaray they have books on how to explain to ur kids with out scaring them where babys come from  

Answer 26

The truth. p***s, sperm, v****a, egg, uterus, nine months, baby. That would about cover it. And personally, I wouldn't sugarcoat it. She's old enough to know the truth - which is that moms and dads don't always need to be married, or in love, to make a baby. I would tell her that it is great when people make a baby because they love each other and want a baby, but it doesn't necessarily always happen that way.  

Answer 27

She's 10yr I would tell her the truth but without some of the details(don't gross her out)

Answer 28

explain simply
