[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would really down play it and move on (a “you’ll learn when you’re older, Mom made a mistake with this movie” kind of response). Let the 9 year old be innocent. I do think that’s different from explaining the birds and the bees… no need to go into various sexual acts at that age. [/quote] And teach your kid that they cannot ask you about something that might be related to sex because you will deflect and not answer their question. Good call. Telling the kid that the term relates to a sex act and giving more information if the kids asks is fine. Nine times out of ten the only reason why my kid even realized something objectionable was said was because of how my husband or I reacted, normally a "I forgot this movie had that in it" type comment. We learned to not say that and our kid seemed unphased. If he did ask, we explained. It was basic fact. Nothing really to hide or make seem to be scandalous, just age appropriate.[/quote]
