Do you think it is right to talk about intercourse with a 4 year old?

I saw this post from a woman about how she told her 4 year old about her pregnancy. When the child asked her how his baby brother came to her tummy she told him about sexual intercourse. Her husband did not approve it because he thought the child was too young and it wasn't the right time to talk about that topic with him, which I agree with. But this woman disagrees with him, and posted it to get approval from the internet.

I personally don't approve what she did. I think 4 years is too young to talk about two people having sex and how pregnancy works. If I have kids I wouldn't talk about sex until they reach an appropriate age to talk about it. I mean you don't need to rush on these things, you can discuss on the topic when they are old enough, that's what I think.

Do you agree with what she did?

  • 4 years old is to young and I am not sure he still understands it. I think the appropriate age is between 11 and 13 when you can tell her or him about the birds and the bees and so they know what sex is.

  • I would agree that 4 is too young to talk child birth and how sex works but I would say that it is an okay (maybe even a little late) age to talk about the differences and what their business is all about. It can just be a game adults play or simply “adult time” but still I think that it is healthy to open that door of communication and to keep it open as long as possible

  • Absolutely not. A child should have no exposure to sexualilty.

  • I think this isn't right to discuss
    by the way nice profile pic ;) beautiful lady :P

  • its totally fine.

    • When my son asked questions about my belly and more, I told him the truth

  • My ex-wife and I always said it the kids were old enough to ask they were old enough to know. we would rather they here it from us than to ask someone else and here whatever they want to say from them...

  • Depends. She doesn't have to be r-rated about it, but it's a completely natural thing. Think it should be more looked down upon to twist a kid into religion or shit like Santa

  • I don't believe in withholding information from kids but I honestly don't know how a 4-year-old would process that information. At that age I thought babies were brought from the North Pole by storks.

  • I don't think at a 4 y-o has the maturity to cope with the emotional side of sex.

  • There age appropriate things to tell a four year old.

  • Way too young for that. I didn’t know about it until I was ten, and that was too young.

  • I think it might be pointless

  • Wait till their teens

  • This is absolutely not correct. I do not agree with her. This cannot be explained to a 4-year-old child. Children should learn these on their own when they grow up. In other words, you can learn these topics by reading them on the internet. A boy always wonders what a pussy is like when he finds out that women don't have dicks. The girl, on the other hand, wonders what it's like when she finds out that men don't have pussyes. These are topics that are difficult for young children to talk about. they learns when they grows up.

  • Are you kidding? The child isn't even moral enough to understand about interpersonal relationships

  • I think it’s fine. I mean I don’t see any harm in presenting the truth to kids.

  • Do you want to have kids someday?

  • I'm not quite sure... As someone who has experienced sexual assualt as a kid I noticed that the fact that I somewhat knew what sex was and that adults did it made it easier to coerce my 9 year old brain into doing it... but at the same time kids should also be taught that hey this is a thing that you shouldn't be doing... I don't know..
