Do not forbid toddlers to ask such questions and shame for curiosity.
Do not be afraid of the child's questions about gender differences, because sooner or later the child will find out about everything. And it's better when you tell about it, and not friends in the yard. Do not prevent your child from asking such questions and shaming curiosity. Taboos on sexual topics are bad for the psyche of the child.
5 important rules:
- Tell your child that the child's gender does not change. Boys grow into men, and girls grow into women.
- When talking about this sensitive topic, do not emphasize it with intonation. Otherwise, the child will think that sex life is a shameful topic of conversation.
- Do not lie and do not say that children are found in cabbage. Your lies will come out.
- Don't hesitate to answer. Your silence will pique your baby's interest.
- Don't go into details. The kid does not need to know about the sex life of adults in all details. Just tell a short story in words he can understand.
