Heads up, you should have...

In my home we didn’t tell our 2nd grader about sex and the conception of babies.

I don’t know why a 2nd grader would be curious about that yet.

That was the best part of the movie! lol I cracked up thinking of all the who were probably horrified about the conversation that was coming. BTW my FOUR year old knows where babies come from so if your 10 year old doesn’t then you should probably have that talk.

LOL. That’s funny.

That’s actually awesome. The movie director gave you an easy opening! That’s exactly when you should talk about sex—early, often and when your kids express curiosity. Any nine year old who doesn’t know how babies are made is way way behind his peers. You can talk about how babies are made without getting into orgasms etc. Honestly, anyone who is afraid to have that talk should go to the movie and then use it as a way to have the conversation.

Pp again— as for the friends, I’d tell their parents and let them discuss it with them.

Does he know how to set up a checking account too? What on earth does a 4 year old need to know about sex for, and where babies come from? He himself only arrived 4 years ago.

My middle kid was advanced and outgoing and did everything early and at 4 years old sex and babies meant zero to him.

Honest question—how did you word it to your 4 year old? I know a lot here who say “it’s an ongoing conversation”, but what if your 4 year old approaches you at breakfast and said “I forgot how babies are made, can you remind me?” What would you say?

Good book for younger kids:

My kids asked so I told them. High level at first. Then more details over the years as they asked for more specifics.

Ugh, that annoying little child in Kindergarten Cop, that’s all I can think of when parents talk about sex extremely early.

OP did ME a favor. That ending line is really obnoxious. Why did someone think it was funny to put parents on the spot like that?

Before we hear any more from the value-signalling sex positive parents, I hope they will at least admit that there's a time and place for such discussions and it is NOT up to movie studios to decide that.

Sure, maybe I should lighten up. Or maybe the frogs should get out of that water before it starts boiling.

Value signaling sex positive parents? Is that actually a thing?

Many many kids are curious about where babies come from, especially if they are around pregnant women. I don’t see why the natural and biological act of sex needs to be kept from any kid, at any age.

And I’m not sure why telling is how advanced your kid was has to do with anything.

There’s hundreds of topics kids are curious about. I am sure when a family member is dying of cancer and looks ill you go into that, too, right? After all it’s “natural.”

Oh gosh! Those poor kids are the ones in school spouting off about the stork while their friends look on in secret horror. Those same friends also go home and tell their parents, who judge you for not educating your kids.

Or at least that’s how it went in our house. Because my kids knew from a young age but we also told them that some kids didn’t know yet (like Santa) and they shouldn’t correct them if they were misinformed.

It gave me a good gauge on which friends I wanted my kids to spend less time with, that’s for sure.

I thought it was a funny way to end the movie. I heard a few groans as we were leaving the theater. You don't have to show them a porn flick. Just give them high level information. What do you tell them when they see a pregnant woman? I'm a teacher, so the amount of misinformation I hear the kids sharing everyday led me to tell my daughter the basics (eggs, sperm, embryo) when she was about six. She's eight now and knows the whole story. Tell your kid when you're ready, but just know that the longer you wait, the more likely they'll find out from someone else.

I think it’s pretty funny, but I appreciate the heads up!
