Nothing is more difficult for some parents than to discuss the question of sex with their children. They can talk about these things quite freely with other people. But with their own children it becomes a most embarrassing experience for all concerned. Often the child is left completely confused, especially when no proper ground talk has been laid.
yet the happiness of the whole family may be vitally affected unless the child is well informed on this important question. Countless young people have fallen into bad company for no other reason than lack of proper instructions in advance. Children are naturally inquisitive, and inevitably. There comes a time when the child begins to inquire where he came from. The manner in which you answer his questions now will largely determine the way he/she will always react, not only in this but also in many other family problems
Ignorance is dangerous
one thing is certain— you cannot keep your child or siblings in ignorance very long on this matter(sex), for sooner or later he/she will know the facts of life, probably much sooner than you expect. Therefore the wise parent will tell his child the truth before someone else steps in and ruins the child’s mind with a lot of unwholesome misinformation. The parent who is wise enough to do this will hold his child’s confidence as long as he lives.
On the other hand, parents who dodge their responsibilities, parents who doesn’t talk about sex to their children and allow others to convey this vital information will be considered weak and unreliable in the eyes of their children.
The parents have failed to do their duty. This may sound a bit harsh, and it is, you’re wrong. Many of the fears and anxieties that afflicts children and young people in their later life could be avoided if parents had the right attitude in this matter(sex education)
there are many ways of approaching the question. Which is best in your case?, How can you avoid making serious mistakes?. First of all, you need it understand yourself and your own attitude before attempting to impact any information to your child, siblings or ward. Do not allow yourself to be taken completely by surprise, for if you already have your answer thought out, talk to your kid, it may save you much embarrassment and misunderstanding.
unfortunately, many parents were given poor interpretations about sex and the facts of life when they were young, and this has resulted in a sense of shame which should never have been allowed to exist.
There is no reason for a person to feel uneasy while discussing the perfectly normal functions of the human body. This attitude is completely realistic cause it has brought on needless anxiety and nervous tension in many people and sometimes has resulted in actual physical illness.
Most misbehaviors among adolescents and young people can be traced to a wrong interpretation of the facts of life. If you want to save your children from needless trouble during their growing years. You must face up to this question and realize that it is a normal part of life. Give your boys and girls the opportunity to know the truth on this important matter(sex education).
Talk to your growing child, sibling or ward about sex, if you don’t you risk their learning process because there will hear or watch movies and interpret it wrongly. Tell your child the facts of life in a way he can understand. If you are honest with him, he will follow your advice in the future.
