Past the “Whyyyy?” stage, and before the “buuuuh leave me alone” stage
Not at 5 years old! Absolutely not.
Omg the downvotes, people are not ready to have open educational conversations with their kids or am I missing something?
What, you mean kids won’t learn dirty words properly if they don’t hear them from their parents? That’s one theory of development.
