[QUOTE="Malika, post: 475278, member: 11227"] Hmmm, interesting you should say that, Susiestar - J has asked about babies and I have told him the truth, adapted to a four year old of course. I prefer for him to know the reality from me because he is going to hear it on the playground soon anyway. I don't see this as a particularly special or different bit of information, actually. I did say that it happens when you are grown up, and when people are married and love each other, so that was my bit of propaganda. In general, I kind of agree with you, though. I often stop myself giving all the details to J, as I am tempted to to "explain". He doesn't understand and it is just unnecessarily complicated for him. Maybe knowing too much is anxiety-provoking in a child, I don't know. [/QUOTE]
