Absolutely six year olds are curious. Their curiosity should be satisfied but I think that video is well beyond an explanation that would satisfy a 6 year old's curiosity. It could well even confuse a 6 year old. A general explanation addressing their question in general every day terms is something that would be understandable to a 6 year old. What child at that age has any idea what a cliterus or uterous is? Bringing up terms or other things that mean nothing to them in an explanation doesn't address their curiosity, it only makes the whole thing more mysterious.I think 6 year old would be curious about what causes a women to become pregnant and how the baby comes out. I think some kids at that age think you can get pregnant from kissing and babies can come out the belly button.
Now by maybe 12 or 13 the child is ready for a more detailed explanation like that video.
