SUMMARY:

  • Our advice is: be honest but don’t go into too much detail. Older children can be told about the concepts of sperm and egg cells.
  • Will I marry Mom When I grow up? Almost all kids start asking this question when they first start feeling attracted to the opposite sex. Gently say “no."
  • Why are boys and girls different down there? Try to tell them about this without awkwardness – a child’s interest in their genitalia is entirely natural.
  • Children subconsciously feel guilty when their parents argue. It’s important for them to understand that it’s not their fault.
  • Don’t shush your child if they draw attention to people in a public place as this leads to the formation of intolerance.
  • Siblings always compete for the love of their parents. You shouldn’t use one child as an example for their brothers and sisters or say that you love one more because they’re more successful at school.
  • Explain to your child that the treatment is necessary. Don’t ever make fun of them for feeling frightened.
  • Don’t lie to your children about death. They can accept the truth.
  • Explain that your job is something you have to do. Place emphasis on the joy of when you come home and see each other again.
  • Don’t be scared to admit that you’re not ideal. It’s important for your child to understand that they shouldn’t copy everything their parents do.
  • Take your child’s fears seriously, and work out how to turn bad things into good ones together.
