Education: When to teach your children about sex?
Today’s kids are overly
conscious and are highly influenced of what they see and hear. With
the overstated role of media in a child’s life, there are
certainly a lot of misrepresentations and wrong assumptions about
sex that have to be corrected. On the other hand, talking to your
children about sex is certainly not an easy job. A lot of parents
actually feel very uncomfortable in doing so. But that should not
be enough reason for you to put the whole thing off. Always remember
that part of your child’s future depend on a good sex education
coming from their own parents.

Sex Education for Kids
Kids eight years old and below
are supposed to learn something about sexuality. They need not know
everything right then and there, but they sure require satisfactory
answers to their questions. Kids of this age are naturally curious
and they must have decided to throw at least one at their parents.
But unfortunately, not all parents are there for their kid’s
inquiries. Some kids may have only one parent. Some have none at
all. And more sadly, some have at set of parents who fails to understand
what it means to give their children the right amount of attention.
But whichever the case, kids here
are the different things kids aged 3 to 8 years old have to learn
about sex and their sexuality:
1. Boys and girls are different.
There are certain body parts that are exclusive to boys and there
are parts that only girls have. Basically, they are called the reproductive
organs. And because they are still kids, these body parts are not
yet fully developed. But as they begin to grow, several changes
are expected. These changes are normal, and so there’s no
need to be afraid.
2. Puberty is the start of adulthood.
The changes are going to be apparent as one enters into puberty.
The exact age of puberty cannot be determined as it varies from
one person to another. Some kids enter into it as early as 8 years
old. But generally, it happens between 10 to 12 years of age. At
which point, the body suddenly grows very fast.
3. Basic Changes In Boys. Boys
tend to grow 4 inches taller in a matter of just a year. And to
complement this growth, their shoulders starts to widen and their
bodies become a lot muscular as well. Their voice suddenly becomes
deeper. Their genitals are enlarged too. Pubic hair will start to
grow and mustache is expected. Boys would also experience spontaneous
erections at this point.
4. Basic Changes in Girls. Girls
will develop during puberty as well. Girls usually gain a little
bit more weight and their hips starts to widen. Their breasts will
begin to develop too. In two years time, girls are going to have
their regular menstrual cycle. Girls, and boys too for that matter,
will begin to notice acnes developing in their faces.
5. Emotional changes. Because
hormones cause these changes, emotional changes are also anticipated.
Emotional outbursts, confusion, the feeling of being sad and alone,
very strong emotions, and mood changes all happen. These are but
normal. But just the same, if any of these emotions seems to be
out of proportion, it is always good to consult with a health professional.
