We apply the methods of psychology to the question of how a boy differs from a girl

First of all, explain to the child that the boys andgirls are equally good. Otherwise, the baby will feel deprived. In addition, the gender difference is better to explain to the parent of the same sex with the child. It is easier for boys to communicate on these topics with dads, and for girls - with moms. Fundamental rules:

  • Explain to the baby that the sex of the person does not change. And from boys grow men, and from girls - women.
  • Telling about the difference between the sexes, do not be embarrassed and do not select this topic with intonation. Otherwise, the child will perceive the sex life as something shameful.
  • Do not lie and do not invent fantastic stories like "children are found in the cabbage." Your lies will come out, and making excuses for it is harder than telling the truth.
  • Do not hesitate with the answer. This will further stir up the interest of the baby.
  • Do not go into details. A small child does not need to know about the sex life of adults or childbirth in all details. It is enough to tell a short story with words that he will understand.
  • If the child has seen the erotic scene on TV, and asks questions about what is happening on the screen, then explain that this is how adults show feelings for each other.
  • Do not invent terms for genitals. Otherwise, the child will be complexes to call things by their names.

Childish questions about gender difference baffleparents. But in any case, they must be answered. In this case, the explanation must be truthful and convincing, but without details. Then he will normally perceive the difference between the sexes.
