My child is 8
How should I explain what is sex?
She knows you make a baby by having sex but she doesn't know what it is.
What is the right thing to say at this age?

Yes as per above posts I also told her I just didn't mention the word sex. But as I thought was shown by this thread, I also tell when asked. Otherwise I wouldn't have been bothered enough to make the thread
