How do they make friskiness make sense to a child in an age-appropriate way lol

There was a hilarious Youtube short of a pet bearded dragon and his favorite toy or blanket or something cum-sextoy and someone used the word frisky and made a humorous "mommy wats that"-type reference.

NGL, it definitey made me wonder how thats currently addressed in the rasing children manual every child comes with and whose counsel every parent totally and dutifully abides by /s

Kids are often satisfied with simpler answers than you might expect. "It's just something they do" is usually accepted by my kids (ages 5 and 3).

When it's not enough, I limit the explanation to whatever I think is appropriate for their age and development. Something like, "animals do that to try to make babies", usually followed up by something like, "it's complicated, I'll tell you more as you get older."
