Both? BOTH???
So my husband and I have decided to start teaching both sides and let her choose her own path.
​
To be blunt there is no "both sides" to the issue. This phrase always bothers me because there is no dichotomy, no "either (A) or (B)" involved. There is science (which includes evolution), philosophy (which includes logic and skepticism and other aspects of critical thinking) and there is theology (which includes all the world religions plus atheism and agnosticism, not just your husbands preferred brand).
​
You should also teach her that mommy and daddy are not necessarily authorities on these issues either, and that as she gets older she can pursue these questions further.
​
I really thought I had another year or two before this happened.
​
Been there.
​
Enjoy.

Sex for Six year olds
She understands that mommy has an egg that is fertilized by daddy and the egg grows into a baby bit my bit.
​
You can tell here that the egg is already in you and that the sperm is implanted through a process called intercourse (sex).
