Long since it has been a debatable issue whether children should be given sex education or not. Although the importance of sex education in the present scenario is changed due to television channels and the internet.

In this human world, there is male and female gender and there is a natural attraction towards each other. But from kids to child and youthhood onwards this attraction plays different roles in our understanding and psychology.

Even if we have our limitations, it’s our responsibility to teach our children about the men-women relationship. Parents should be the first source of sexual knowledge for their children. Only then the children will have a receptive manner towards their parent’s teachings.

Importance Of Sex Education How to educate them, here are some tips:

The importance of sex education differs from age, time, place, country, and social environment. Although sex is an essential part of human life its stages of learning and knowing about it differ from age to age profile.

Use Your Own Childhood Experience:

We have our own experience of childhood and curiosity about sex. Similarly, we should treat our children. Sex education beginning from home is always safer for children to avoid any risky sexual activity.

Give appropriate answers:

Children have some simple questions in their minds. They want to know something and ask their parents due to curiosity. Parents should satisfy their curiousness with simple and age-appropriate answers. Sometimes the younger kids are interested in pregnancy and babies to be born. We should reply to them in a very simple way according to their age. Parents should not rely on school or media for sex education because it is not always appropriate for every family and every social environment.

Make dialogue with children:

Toddlers up to two years may be taught about the parts of the body. It may include genitals also. Generally, within two years the child begins to recognize the male and female differences.

Within two to five years children may be curious about the baby, growing in the stomach of the mother. Parents should have an exchange of dialogue about it but in an easy-going manner.

Have an honest and alert approach:

During five to eight years we may teach them about the basics of social conventions, privacy, nudity, and respect for others in relationships. Children should know that except for parents no other person can touch their private parts or in some other ways. They should be made alert all about it. Puberty or pubertal development before age 10 is noticeable. It should be the honest and alert approach of parents to make their children, under nine to twelve years, understand that the depictions of sex and sexuality in media are true or false, realistic or not, positive or negative.

Be the first friend of your teenagers:

The children feel normal to speak about their problems and insecurities such as depression, relationships, abuse of drugs and alcohol as well as sexual issues. This way, the children may be saved from being misinformed and misguided by others because they will have already gotten due information.

Teenagers of 13 to 18 years of age become more insecure. If the parents are friendly to their growing children, then the teenagers approach them in any different, difficult, and dangerous situations otherwise they do not like to share their new experience of life regarding male or female attraction or attachment.

After 18 child becomes an adult but he is always required to be acquainted and vigilant about sex, sexuality, and human reproduction by male and female attachment at least up to 20 years. Morally they should know that love and sex are not only enjoyable but also a personal and social responsibility.

According to age, open communication with a child about sex makes the younger child’s parents friendly. What do you think about the importance of sex education? Let us know your point of view in the comment section below.
