CuriousStudent: Can we still call it "sex education" when the idea of "sex" is clearly missing? Based on that literal meaning, I clearly won't be engaging my kids in any sex education. I am teaching abstinence from sex, hygiene, awareness of abuse and harassment, and nothing more. 2 Likes |

If it's a girl child , you teach her the basics her to give BJ. |

Acidosis:Well, that is the generic name. But it's all under the umbrella of reproductive health. off course every parent will teach abstinence. No parent wants their kids having sex . Sex education is an "awareness" of sex and not "advocacy" for sex. At 16-18 should know,else pornhub or their friends will teach them. 1 Like |

DaBogu: Your question stated our children. Not other people's children. You are in no position to educate a child that is not urs on sex education. That's why you were rightly insulted. Back to your question. I believe it's at your discretion and the pace at which your child is growing mentally. Some kids at 6 are brighter and asking sensitive questions than some at 12. 1 Like |

Zoe99: That's the best. Some people thought that sex education is all about how to have sex. But the definition is broad. It should be thought as early as 3 till 16 years. At least a 16 years old should have 80% knowledge about sex education. He/ she is definitely a young adult. |

Right before the kids go into puberty . Now why would you as a man teach young girls about sex education? If the kids were the same gender as you, no one would have batted an eyelid. You just made yourself seem like a perverted weirdo. Stay in your lane. |

Our children you join give birth to your neighbours children. In relation to your own children the latest time is in the month they start their menses. In any case before they start jss1 (too many demons are awaiting them). Before ( from about 2 years and within the concept of personal privacy) then let them know what is inappropriate touching and for them to let you know if such happens to them. If you are teaching personal privacy to your children I still do not understand why parents will have their children running around naked minimum should be pant and vest. DaBogu: |
Re: When Is The Best Age To Give Sex Education To Your Child by oohunt: 6:35am On Jul 16, 2023 |
As early as their brain can understand it. The first thing (ages 2-3) is to teach them what their private parts are and how they are sacred to them. No touching by any one! And don’t touch other people’s own either. Then as they see things or learn from friends and other places, best to have the sex education discussions with them. It does not all have to be on one day, it will be gradual thing. My 7 year old already knows what gay and lesbian is - to my uttermost shock. That was an opportunity for me to introduce the topic. Plus, they have also been thought how babies are made in school-in basic science. Kids nowadays are more exposed than we were growing up. Best to have these discussions with them as a parent. If you don’t, someone else will, and it may be the wrong info, which will set them down a wrong path. |

For me, age 10 is ideal for such education. I've seen children who are barely 7 years old having sex. And yet someone will come and say a 14 years is too young for sex education, especially in the society we are now. What you think they are too young to learn in the house, they learn it in the bad way outside |

In the Catholic Church, they recommend catechism from 7 or 8 years. In that class you will learn about chastity. |

My younger cousin that's just 9years old was already watching porn and reading porn comics and story and her mum doesn't know yet. I was contemplating telling her Mum but I eventually didn't tell her. Did I do wrong? |

DaBogu: I see responses and notice that most people see sex education mainly about sexual intercourse. Wrong There are different levels of sex education and you should start as early as possible for both the Male and female child E.g From 6years, your child should be taught about the need to keep her private parts private From 9years, they must know what to look out for in predators. Uncle, Aunty etc. From 12years, they should start to understand the dangers intercourse. From 16years, teach them safe sex and emphasize the importance/benefits of abstinence After this, they are adults so you got nothing on them anymore. Just your prayers and presence is all you can give Finally please note, it's not in your place to teach other people's children about this. So you were wrong doing that 1 Like |

Well said. The only thing I’d add is that as soon as they can start talking, teach them the biologically appropriate names for body parts. No euphemisms. I’m surprised people really think avoiding conversation around sex and body parts is the best way to protect kids. XXCASH: |

Hey easy, 12 I guess bt I stand to be corrected. The child need to be informed about sex bit by bit but not the overall aspect of it. |

As soon as they: 1. Wants to go naked, 2. Are seen handle any of the private parts, 3. Are observed to be curious when they see you naked, 4. Ask question about pregnancy, 5. Ask question on how children is born, 6. Ask any sex related question, 7. Tells you their peers talk about boy friend and girl friend relationships. 8. Allowed to attend parties unaccompanied. |

Firstly,you are not in d right position to teach your neighbor's kids such sex education and awareness. You may be trying to pull some stunt right there. Secondly, start as soon as they can identify various body part, you can start somewhere at such tender age. Thanks |

@XXcash, and a few others addressed the most important thing here, thst is how you crossed the line by talking about sex education yo your neigbours kids. I think that is all that needs addressed here. Part of education we should be teaching kids is protecting them and shielding them from so many things including neighbors that will talk to them about “sex education” without their parents consent. I think you should focus on that and understand your place in the lives of folks you interact with. |
