Start teaching your kids about sex education as early as possible. Children very inquisitive, they want to know everything even as such tender age. Teaching sex education early enough makes you gain their trust, they can easily tell you about someone that smacked their buttocks outside in an inappropriate manner. They can tell you about the changes they have in their body. Sex education is important to kids because they are vulnerable and susceptible to sexual abuse. Let your kids know their private part is private and let your male child know that it is his private part that makes babies when it comes in contact with a female private part. Many parents think it’s vulgar or dirty when kids are taught sec education, children are well exposed even before the age of six. Children love to act what they see or even hear, we all see how our kids play out whatever cartoon they’ve seen. Teach them early enough.
Adults often find questions about sex difficult and embarrassing – but if adults are able to answer in an honest and confident way this will set the tone for children – making it easier for them to bring up similar topics as they are growing up. When you try to dodge your child’s questions concerning sex, you’re setting them out to pick up are incorrect and confusing information about it. A female child as early as 8 can start growing breasts, it is the duty of the parents to already teach this child so she won’t be surprised when he puberty finally hits. When my daughter was 9, we didn’t know she already started growing breast until she came home from school one day, she was sad. I asked why, she said people laughed at her in school, saying she had the tiniest breast. That was the day we started educating her about sex. To my wife and I, we were kind of late but we tried to make up for it. Children are exposed to what we can’t even imagine outside the walls of their homes. And whatever you don’t teach them, they learn it negatively outside, mostly through bad friends.
