Why does the baby crawl into the belly?

Duong Thi Que – Hanoi shared that when her daughter was 5 years old, she was pregnant with the second child. Every time she lay next to her mother, she would rub her mother’s belly and then curiously asked her mother how the baby got into her womb.

Que also doesn’t know how to explain it to me? The more silent the child is, the more curious he is to ask his father. Once he came home and told his mother that he had asked his grandmother why the baby was able to get into her mother’s womb. She told the baby to come in from the armpit and grow up. A funny answer but also a way to resist waiting for the baby to grow up to know.

Many parents also fall into the situation that their children are curious as to why they were born. Lan Anh, Cau Giay, Hanoi, said her 3-year-old daughter would ask her where she was every time she looked at her parents’ wedding photos. Seeing her aunt pregnant, she always wondered why a baby was born in her belly. To answer such questions of children is also very brain damage.

Lan Anh told me that when she was a child, she was curious as to why her parents created babies. When I was a child, it was only explained that when my father passed by my mother’s bed, there was a baby or that my mother told me the story of the Coconut Skull. She also told her son the same, but the child still did not satisfy with the answer about the story of the Coconut Skull.

Do not elaborately explain

According to Dr. Nguyen Tan Thu – Nha Minh Clinic (HCMC), the above questions can be encountered in any family. For many parents, this is a difficult question. Many fathers and mothers are confused.

When children asked how to get pregnant, where did the baby get into the mother’s womb, Dr. Thu said that parents only need to explain that it is an adult’s business, when they grow up, they will know.

Or you can tell your child this is a funny story. When the parent-child relationship has a good foundation, the parents can believe whatever they say.

It is not possible to elaborately explain to children because they do not have background knowledge about this issue, so the more they explain, the more confusing it becomes. So there are situations where you can still opt out.

According to Dr. Thu, sex education must go step by step. When children do not understand about male and female bodies, we have to wait when they grow up. This is not to be ignored but this is we postpone and this is the whole process, parents and children learn together and until the child is ripe enough to know for himself.

For example, pregnancy in chapter 100 in sex education, you cannot let your child jump to this chapter when he has not learned about physiology and sex from chapter 1, chapter 2. Sex education for children is a lesson. long exercise, together with your child’s education in that long exercise must go step by step.

Family background in Vietnam is a bit small, so many families sleep together. Children can see the loving image of their parents. Therefore, those behaviors should be limited for children to observe. When there is a situation that the child encounters, we can tell him that it is the story of the adult world.

Dr. Thu reminds parents, when teaching children, it is necessary to teach children problems that children find reasonable. For example, children see two people loving each other and kiss each other, and adults often think it is bad. Therefore, the scenes of hugging, kissing, and intimacy if children see it, do not worry because it is an expression of love.

In the minds of adults, they always want their children to be like this and that, like the story many parents think that middle school and high school children are not loved. In fact, falling in love is a normal emotion, not evil. How to love, love with limits is important. It is the duty of adults to teach children how risky that choice behavior is. For example, women who have sex early can get pregnant, affecting their own lives in the future. Should frankly see both sides of the problem so that children know and avoid risks.
