Our little ones are curious by nature, and there comes an age when they have hundreds of questions to ask us. Why is the sky blue? because it rains? How do airplanes fly? or why is the moon not seen during the day? are some of the most popular, among which is also sometimes the -sometimes- feared: how was I born?
To answer this question to her four-year-old, a mother doctor decided to do it in a creative and simple way so that he could understand it: performing a cesarean section of clay between the two of them .
Jessica So is a doctor and mother of two children, one of whom recently turned four years old. While celebrating as a family, they remembered the day the little one was born, which was earlier than expected but in which everything went well thanks to the medical personnel who attended his delivery.
To answer her son’s questions about how exactly he got out of his tummy, Jessica decided to recreate a cesarean section using a manipulative material that children love: play dough .
The video of this surgery, in which we finally see a Spider-Man doll being born, was published on Jessica’s Instagram and YouTube accounts, where she publishes under The Breakfasteur user.
In the video, we can see how he managed to create a very detailed belly with plasticine, while guiding his son, who performs the cuts and movements that are usually made during a cesarean section. Even at the end, the “baby” has its own placenta and the child cuts the “umbilical cord” after clamping it .
Many parents have found the video not only fun, but also a way to teach children about anatomy and medicine . In fact, this is not the first video that Jessica has made about medical interventions using plasticine, so if you were curious about this video, you can find more on her social media accounts.
