I completely agree with you Neha. My son is actually quite aware of the science behind it as he is very fond of watching animal documentaries and they speak about mating very routinely. He doesn’t yet understand ‘how’ the mating process happens in humans but when he is ready to ask me the questions, I will explain it to him gently. An excellent post.

I completely agree with you that sex education should begin at home itself. mostly parents ignore their kids questions as they feel uncomfortable in answering them and divert the topic. but in reality they miss the chance of building trust and equipping their kids with the right knowledge.

I am glad parents are becoming more open about this topic and removing the taboo around it. I feel informed children are safer children. It is so important for them to understand so they can make better choices.

You have addressed the need of inclusion very well! hope it will reduce this fear and in turn the resistance to the introduction of sex education.

Most common misconception/fear in minds of parents about being introduced to sex education is that if children will start being sexually active right after they are introduced to it!!! it’s such wrongly placed fear.

Oh my! As much as I want to skip this portion of parenting, sadly, it happens so quickly and I must say, in a blink of an eye! My daughters is about to reach this stage which I think is proper to talk about sex education. They’ve been studying about reproduction already, so what better time is it than now. It is a bit awkward though as talking about sex is still such a taboo, especially here in the Philippines.

It was interesting how even when I was a medical undergraduate , I did not see anything about the process of consummation or actual sex mentioned anywhere in out textbooks , how was I supposed to talk to my patients about it?
Sex education is a must because children will end up learning about things from all sorts of unreliable sources and also feel ashamed to talk about their problems if sex education is not encouraged.
Great post , I appreciate it.
