How are babies made? Where do babies come from? All these questions are not out of the box any more and are not rare in the question list that these kids ask their parents these days. Some parents feel the necessity to talk to their kids about this delicate topic regardless of whether they know the answers to the questions that need direct answers from their parents and there are some and most of the parents who slowly push this topic away and gradually it is forgotten temporarily.

Here are some of the tips for those parents who need help in answering those questions and you should always keep in mind that when answering these questions you should give them a sense of confidence, safety and trust:-

Talk to your child about sex in small bits so that they can not get confused at one big talk that you give them. Most of the parents feel that if they talk to their child about this topic, its done once and for all. Make sure it is not done that way.
Tell your child the names of their sexual parts of their body rather then giving it names such as peepee or privates, make them know that it is not at all embarrassing to say the actual name for it is all part of ones body.
Tell them the true meaning of sex and why it is actually done, make sure that the child understands that it a love which is shared between two people and not just done for the sake of doing it. Help the child understand that sex is not an isolated experience and that it follows from commitment in to a relationship.
If your child is too small of the age to understand, don't get in to minute details that will keep his or her head spinning. Give them clinical details from what is right or wrong and give them accurate information.
Talk to them about the consequences of sex, don't try to scare them of the topic but make it a point to mention that it can cause unwanted pregnancies, sexual diseases and strong emotional reactions that will have an effect later.
Make sure your child knows he or she can ask you any question after this big talk. Be open to them and most of all they should know that this topic is a comfortable one even though it may be uncomfortable for you . Better safe than never they say.

Relaxed and being ready for answers is the only way that your child will understand the good and bad outcomes of this delicate topic. Every parent passes this phase when your child opens up to these questions and eagerly waits for their mama or papa to give them wise answers.
