No, they don’t understand it all, they learn over time. But not starting the conversation because they won’t understand it all is like not tracking your kid to count because they aren’t ready for calculus.

A four year old can understand the big idea, and add vocabulary and complexity over time.

For those of you who believe that kids never talk about these things, do your kids ask questions? When my son was 2.5 I made a comment about how there was a baby growing in Liam’s mom that would come out and be his little sister, and he asked me “Liam mom eats babies?” and more questions followed.

Way to justify sexualizing your child

There is no rational conversation to be had here if you think explaining to your child how babies are made is "sexualizing" your child. You've got issues that DCUM cannot possibly help you with.

I am actually floored that parents cannot find a way to talk to their kids about sex, death or cancer in a kid friendly way. I am going to take a wild guess and state that your kids also do not understand what it means to be gay or transgender.

FYI. That answer to the question in the movie, if you favor avoid these basic conversations is “you all came from mom and dad.” If they ask follow up questions, answer them simply and honestly.

As a teacher, I can tell you that by second grade these conversations are happening on the playground, and in the neighborhood. So, the question you need to be asking your self is not “when” do you want your kid to learn this, but “who” do you want him/her learning from.

As a 2nd grade teacher, this not accurate

My second grader came home this year saying that some of his friends thought that babies were born by coming out of the mother’s butt—specifically by being crapped out in the toilet.

I’m guessing the kids probably didn’t share that conversation with the teacher.

As a 2nd grade teacher... it IS accurate.

It’s not like parents are demonstrating and giving a play-by-play for how babies are made. There are age-appropriate ways of explaining where babies come from. How would you respond if a 4yo asked you?

How exactly is PP “sexualizing his/her child”?

PG does mean parental guidance.

This isn’t a Disney movie with a G rating

Let me start by saying, I’m not American so we aren’t as prudish about sex, but why would you not discuss where babies come from with your children? Is it the thought that if you tell them your 6 year old will start having sex?

I also told my kids about drugs and alcohol (no interest), strangers/homeless (they don’t want to be one of those either).

Do you just let them figure it out when they get married?

You are in for a rude awakening momma. Better to educate your kids with good, truthful information because they are going to hear it from their peers much earlier than you expect.
