My 4 year old is asking more and more questions about how babies get into tummies etc. I think there was a thread here some time ago recommending good books to aid discussion (I think I need help as I want to answer honestly and appropriately!).

Thanks in advance :)

I recommend the Science Museum exhibit (or could be NHM) on human reproduction. The pictures and video are really helpful to younger children and they only take away from it what they can understand so it's age appropriate for a wide range of ages. My 4 year old son found it really helpful while I was pregnant with his second younger sister but he did then ask to be present at the birth so he could see it with his own eyes!
Another vote for 'Mummy laid an egg'. I love it! Not sure how much of it my 4 year old has taken in. She was much more interested in sea slug reproduction - they each have a willy, the willy breaks off inside the other and then they grow a new one.

    • Is there a phone number for the Peckham sorting office that anyone could share? 
    • At 00.56am on Tuesday this scrote was filmed entering our car. He had a face mask and all dark clothing however the clothing had certain distinguishing features. Perhaps someone can identify the writing on the jacket and trousers. Video clip was too large to upload so here are a few snapshots Pleased to say he went away empty handed as we leave nothing of any value in the car.
    • Highly recommend James - fixed the electric fault in our kitchen and was punctual and reasonably priced.
    • That's very very clever! Ah, ok. So I just put it in the green bin? Probably better in a black bin bag so it doesn't blow all over the street/recycling centre, but then what happens when they burn it in the black bag? And how do they "get energy from it" when it burns? Is it turned into electricity or something? I went on a tour of the recycling centre years ago, but I don't remember them talking about that! Thanks, I have far too much, it would take years! I do have two "daleks" on my allotment but I would need to store the shredded paper somewhere before using it, and I really want it out of the house. It's taking up more room than the boxes of folders did before 🤣
