Sex Education Begins at Home

Sex Education

Sex education for our children for some eastern country become taboo for teach directly. Usually children known sex education from their association. A pity that not all association are good, sometime their association very bad and make children have bad sex education.

Sex matter is always a hot term at the moment, this is a sensitive matter if some body is talking about this, even the content is not about the sex activity. If your children still under age say 5 to 10 years, they will have heard it thrown around on television or radio, or she has seen one of the recent leaflets, Let's Grow with her friends, aimed at younger primary school children. Some parents are concerned that an educational pamphlet spelling out a few body parts will corrupt their young children's minds. Others feel that it doesn't go far enough, citing research that shows the more our children know about sex, the less promiscuous they grow up to be.

Many of parents may feel uncomfortable talking about it or feel that should be ready with the facts immediately, fearing that otherwise the window of opportunity will close. “I would say you do know a lot more than you think,” says Petra Boynton, a psychologist specializing in sex education. “If your child came home with a math’s problem and you said you didn't know how to do it, you wouldn't view yourself as a failure. So approach this in the same way. You can say, I'm not sure what this is about - let's find out together'.”

Sometimes they have an idea and you can proceed from there, they may have got it slightly wrong but it will give them the chance to build on what they know. You could clarify with a simple explanation such as: “It's all to do with grown-up people loving each other and how they can have babies if they want to.”

Just make sure that you're not like one mother who answered her child with the wrong explanation. Sex education is something to learn at home at the beginning, not at school, and that's the last say on this subject.
