Can anyone help. I'm probably very late with this topic but my 7 year old (young for age as no older siblings/cousins) asked yesterday how babies are made. She asked 'if you decide one day that you want one does it just happen?' -
Im not sure I want her to have an image of the actually graphic detail of sex just yet? Am I wrong for feeling this way? Have looked at some books online which appear to avoid this. BUT she's not stupid so I do wonder if we go through the sperm/egg science she will probably then still ask 'but how does the sperm reach the egg?' ...
I really want to get this right and explain in the best way for her age. I think she might feel quite 'yuck' about the actual mechanics of sex particularly when she relates that back to me and her dad.
Any tips??
