LOL, think you did the right thing there.  The child really needs to talk to his parents about it.\n\nI've been asked before by a niece, and I told her that she needed to talk to her mom.  I said "Well, I don't know, I have never had a baby, but your mom had you...why don't you ask her?".

Here's one for ya..I was about maybe in the 3rd grade and we went on a trip to the local Zoo.. At that time.. The elephants were only chained by their ankles in a barn like setting.. We were allowed to feed them peanuts.. Well, some one put a peanut on my head and the elephants took it off w/ their trunks and I had elephant schmuck on my head for the rest of the day and trip home.. Everyone was laughing at me and I did not find it amusing at all.... Strange.. The things you remember when a question of this nature is posted.. Have a nice day!

Did you know that out of all the hummingbirds in the world, only one, the ruby throated hummingbird, nests and breeds and travels in the part of the south where I live? And did you know that I just found out that the shrub in my backyard that I have fought for 5 years to keep alive is a sweet shrub, also know as bubby bush or carolina allspice, and is possibly on an endangered species list?  (when you're bored, learn something!)

No one know for sure except your friends parents -- BUT -- I'd tell her they sound like a lot of parents do at different points in time -- my daughter asked us the same Q once after a bad stretch & no such thing could be further from ever happening

What an interesting question and one with no simple answer, and several questions. First how old is the child. Second what interests the child. Every child is different some can stare at cars, or fish, or spiders, or anything for long periods of time. Others change subjects like flipping channels on a TV. Remember children learn what you teach them. If you keep shoving science in their face beyond the point they are interested and then become frustrated. You teach a child that science, or any subject is frustrating. Younger Children like to see things happen out of the ordinary, color changes due to chemical reactions, objects flying when they shouldn't, something surprising happening can be of interest to small children. More intellectual, or intangible subjects like math, and behind the scene concepts are usually (I said usually) only good for older children that have asked questions. Bottom line there is no good simple answer other than to experiment and discover what a specific child would be interested in.

Tonight, I was out with my 10 yr old and I was spraying some water on our plants. A toad came "running" out of his bush cover to sit in the spray. He was really liking it.  After a couple of minutes laughing at him, a spider crossed the walk about 4 ft away. That toad went on a beeline charge up to the spider. They sat about 4 inches apart - neither one so much as twitching. We froze and watched.  After 2 minutes, the toad pounced in! He tongue-flicked that spider and had a good meal.\nIt was a great moment to share and very educational for him. It cemented some of the things we have spoken about in the past about nature being brutal, but efficient and basically well-planned.\nGo forth and critter. \n\nIf the neighbors think you are "different" - then Thank GOODNESS. Because you are!

I am not close to being an expert, but let me just say this. I am 35 and I am a single mother of three kids. I have a fifteen year old, a six year and a four year old. So I have only two of them in school right now.\n\nMy 15 year old son is on honor roll and my six year old daughter just received high honors. \n\nI am not bregging but only trying to paint a picture. I do not force any kind of studying habits. I think my success has been mostly more about how I raise and communicate with them.\n\nGrowing up I have never talked baby talk with any of them and they all talked exceptionally well when they were little. So well to the point people would always ask how does you little girl or boy talk so well, they are using sentences and they are so tiny.\n\nMy son has told me that the reason everything comes so easy to him is because half of the things he studys in school are things that I have included in everyday conversation with him so he already knows about it and it gives him the opportunity to participate in conversation in class and it makes him strive more when he knows about it and the teacher is impressed.\n\nIf my kids have a question while watching tv I answer it and bring up other things in relation. If they don't want to watch the news I don't have a problem with that, I watch and telll them later about all the things that are going on.\n\nMy son told me at school for his graduation they played a movie they made of all the major news and events that happened in the past decade and when they showed things like Tim Mcvey, Jon Bonet or even the last space shuttle that blew up and he said that after the movie his friends were saying they didn't even know who or what half the things in the video were.\n\nMy son's comment was "Don't these kids parents talk to them?"

They explained sex to children using examples of birds nesting and bees mating. It was a euphemism for sex education, especially when taught informally.
