Why Sex Education Among Kids is Important
Posted by admin in Sex in Education on September 24, 2011
Many of you think that your kids would go the wrong way if they are educated about sex. But ignorance about sex is far more dangerous than sex guidance. After all, someone has to take up the challenge.
You may adopt the following methods to educate a child about sex when his/her physical changes start surfacing.
Sex Education For Toddlers and Pre-Schoolers
Posted by admin in Sex in Education on September 24, 2011
Talking to toddlers and pre-schoolers about sex can be very challenging for many parents. Sex education for young children is a natural responsibility for parents.
At some point, toddlers and pre-schoolers usually get curious about their own bodies. It’s best to let them explore and ask questions at their own pace. Parents can benefit from being honest and frank with children at these early ages. For instance, when a child becomes curious and asks about a body part, giving the proper body part name, rather than a “nickname” like some parents are inclined to try, or perhaps trying to avoid even addressing the questions. This may send a message of dishonesty or mistrust to the child once they get a bit older and realize mom or dad cannot seem to call it the proper body part name.
Also parents can benefit from taking any conversation about sexual awareness seriously, without joking or shame or embarrassment. It is the nature of children to be curious, and denying them this curiosity may affect the parent-child relationship and bond. As an example, many dads have never been able to even refer to female body parts with their daughters without some level of embarrassment or discomfort. Most times, this awkwardness started when their children were babies, and can affect the relationship for years.
