Teaching kids about sex

[Antarctic]

If i had kids I'd probably be upfront about it and not make it weird. Give him a few movies, books etc if he wanted.

Sorry for bumping this thread, but here is one joke about the topic 😀
Father to his 13-year old son
- Son, it is time talk with you, about sex.
- Okay, daddy. What you wanna know.. ?

I waited until mine started asking questions like where babies come from
and because of the child`s age I said mummy`s belly as they got older I answered differently when they were about 9 I got them a book about how the body works,about how babies are made and told then if the have any questions just ask I have always been honest with them

It's getting younger and youger, and if you ask me that's pretty wrong.

I agree. Telling young children about sex isn't right at all, and that they won't fully understand it either.

 

[fokerss]

just tell they the truth maybe will be good.

My opinion is that you can teach them about it in about 6th/7th grade. If not, the kids will just pick it up at school.

Because lying to your kids is the answer. I'm not saying load up redtube and lock them in the computer room lol, there are books and presentations done specifically for children to learn one of the world's most natural things. Probably should start learning around age 4-5.

It's best to teach children about sex young, otherwise they will learn from their friends and from media.

Agreed. At the very least, kids need to know about their private parts. They need to know that nobody should ever touch them there, and it's a very serious matter if that happens that should be immediately reported to their parents or another trusted adult.

Overall, we need to get rid of this notion that ignorance is innocence. Children aren't innocent because they're devoid of factual knowledge; they're innocent because they view the world untainted by society's corruption. Innocence ends when they start getting exposed to 700 Club and FOX News.

My parents taught me about it in 5th grade, if they had waited any longer I would have learned about it at school anyway.

I think parents should teach about it young also, so that they don't get taught wrong somehow....

Sex? 😵 What in the world of pink elephants is that?

Tell them as soon as you think they'll understand. Like when your young, you don't have feelings and you won't understand. I'd say 12-15. Any older and it will just be awkward

If a kid is 12 and doesn't know about sex they're either A) in a coma or B) home schooled. You need to teach them way earlier than that.

 

[Fiona1964]

And most girls need to know before they are 12 as they go through a lot of changes with their body before then

I still say when a child starts asking questions is the time for you to start answering them what ever the age is

i was taught in year 6

 

[Robbiehay1]

I think it should be when they have entered puberty as most of the changes are going to hit them then they should be educated about them

I think it all depends on the individual, but I guess you know when you need to talk to the child.
