[quote=Anonymous]Whenever a child asks about something, answer their question. Because if you do not your child WILL think about it in silence, your child WILL imagine all kinds of things and the question WILL NOT just go away...even if your child doesn't ask again because he/she now knows Mommy won't answer.

Your child saw something very graphic. Those images are not going to just go away, the younger the child the MORE they are going to stay engrained because young minds are so much more impressionable.

Now as for what to say...I am a very direct and very honest person so my words would probably not be right for most people - but I WOULD explain that when a woman gets pregnant, sometimes she cannot or doesn't want to have the baby (talk about possible reasons, let your child think and come up with some as well as interactive discussion helps with processing information!!!). Then a woman can undergo medical treatment with drugs when the baby is not yet developed very far to end the pregnancy...or if the baby is already too big then a surgery like procedure is used to kill the growing baby. Yes. I would say "kill". Because it's the truth. You don't have to of course.[/quote]
