Different ages, different purposes.

12 and below=awareness of sexual abuse. "If you touch my private part I will report"

12-16=puberty changes. What to expect and what not. Menstrual hygiene.

16-18=safe sex. Contraception.STI.sexuality

Acidosis:


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.

Kobojunkie:
Open your eyes! Many kids get pregnant before their teenage years.

Oluromantic:
Once pikin enter ss1 start educating them on the meaning and deadly dangers of sexual intercourse so as to have them refrain from it. The steps are two:
-Explain the meaning
-Explain the inherent danger and how terrible the consequences are

chukkystar:
teenage is 13 to 19. Anyone getting pregnant B4 13 is a lost case

I wish to ask this question to know if I am on the right path. I am a kind that believe parents should start teaching their children at age of 14 and above about the danger of having sex at a tender age.

Sometimes ago, I received the most brutal disgrace of my life. I have this neighbor that has two daughters. The eldest is 15 years old while the other one is just 12 years old.

So there was a day I was teaching them about the danger of having sex at all and of course at such tender age.

In the course of our conversation, their mother walked bye and she started yelling at me and raining all sort of insults on me. She was like, what sort of nonsense am I teaching her children, what kind of rubbish is that, my children are young and yet you are teaching them rubbish, for your info my children are young and they don't know anything about all the rubbish you have been saying, never and never in your life talked to my daughters in your life.

I was disgraced but was later rescued by my brother who instructed me to apologise to the woman.

Now, the question is, does enlightening our children who has attained the age of 13 and above about the danger of sex portends any danger. And when is the right age can one start teaching his/her children about the calamity of sex ?

Please, Matured responses.

Thank you in anticipation

I would say age 3-4.At that age, just tell them places on their body that shouldn't be touched and to report to you if an attempt was made to do that.Warn them not to follow "uncles" or "aunties".Use simple language that they can understand.As they mature,you can use more complex terms and even use other stories you find in the news or even personal experience to warn them of the danger of exposing themselves to situations that could make them susceptible and off-guard.

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

CuriousStudent:

You and I know that the reason you have for suggesting female kids get sex education earlier is because they are more vulnerable to your gender touching their private parts
