You are a person and I am a person. We all got here from being born as babies.
Some people want to have lots of babies.
Some people do not want to have babies at all.
Some people want to have one or two babies.
All of these are good, as long as we can choose what makes us happy!
This is Sally. Sally is 21 and a fire fighter. Sally wants to have 3 babies and that's okay because that's her choice.
This is Fatima. Fatima is 32 and is a doctor. Fatima wants to have 1 baby and that's okay because that's her choice.
This is Charlie. Charlie is 38 and is a painter. Charlie does not want to have any babies and that's okay because that's her choice.
This is Lee. Lee is 25 and isn't sure if she wants to have babies yet or not. Lee might change her mind later, and that's okay because that's her choice.
Some people think that when it's inside the tummy, it's called a 'foetus', and when it's outside the tummy it's then called a baby. That's okay because that's their choice.
Some people think that it's always called a baby when it's inside the tummy and outside the tummy. That's okay because that's their choice.
If you are going to have your own baby when you are older, you can think about your own choices.
How old do you want to be when you have babies?
Do you want to have a baby?
Do you want to have lots of babies?
Do you want to go to university first and then have babies later?
Do you want to have babies and then have a job?
Do you want to have babies and look after them at home?
We also need to think about what happens to the earth when we have babies.
Are we having too many babies? Are we having too few babies?
Is there enough food for all of the babies and families? Is there enough water for all of the babies and families?
Will all the babies and families have clothes? Will all the babies and families have homes?
You and I were lucky babies because we had enough food, water, clothes, and shelter.
Some babies and families have lots of food, water, clothing, and shelter.
Some babies and families have very little food, water, clothing, and shelter.
This doesn't seem very fair, does it?
If we all get to choose when and how we have babies, we can make sure all of our babies and families have enough food, water, clothing, and shelter.
Making choices for ourselves is important and helps us to live in a better world!
