I'm looking for advice from parents as to when to tell the truth to my son. He's three and a half, he knows that he and daddy have wee-wee's and that mommy pees from her bum.
We've told him that he came from mummy's belly and he knows that he was once really small and has been growing a lot. He talks a lot about how when he is bigger he'll be able to do x/y.
He is an only child thus far, he has older cousins. We are not religious so that issue does not factor into this question. Like all males, he likes to play with his wee-wee and has a mild fascination with the general topic. I guess he has gotten to the stage where he want's to know more but it may not be appropriate to arm him with potentially dangerous information for his pre-school environment. Heaven forbid that another parent beats me up after my son explains to their daughter how things really work.
At what age/knowledge/social setting is it best to be honest with him?
Should I be vague and let him figure it out? I'm leaning toward this philosophy.
I need some input.
