How to Explain Pregnancy in An Age Appropriate Way?
Explaining pregnancy to children in an age-appropriate way involves simple, tangible comparisons. For young children, compare the baby's size to familiar objects, like a fruit or toy. Explain that the baby is growing in mummy's belly, just like how plants grow in soil. For older children, discuss the baby's development stages and the role of the mum's body in nurturing the baby. Use children's books about pregnancy to aid your explanation.
