Schools provide some information on sex issues as part of their syllabi, but the role of guardians in teaching their children cannot be overlooked. Sex education for parents would help guardians confirm the information children get from schools regarding sex. Most children are comfortable asking their guardians questions they would not like to ask in class.
Children from homes where sex issues are often discussed are known to become sexually active later in age than those who do not discuss the issue. This may be because most children trust the information given to them by their guardians over any other thing they hear. In schools, sex education is only one topic that is taught within a maximum of a few hours. Parents have their whole childhood to discuss the issue.
Most societies frown on the discussion of sexual issues. Most guardians are also tight-lipped on the issue because they did not get anybody to talk to them about sex during their childhood. Some also believe teachers are responsible for giving their children sex education. It is observed that most mothers are more comfortable discussing sex related issues with their children than fathers.
Preparation is the key in providing accurate and timely sex education. Guardians need to have their facts ready before their children are of age to ask questions. They can get a lot of information by reading parental guides on the issue. The internet is a great source for guidelines that can be of help.
Guardians need to give the information on sex to children little by little rather than giving all the information in one sitting. This way, a lasting impression would be made on the mind of the child all their life. It also makes children feel comfortable expressing their own concerns. Teaching on issues relating to human sexuality should begin before the child attains puberty, so they know the changes to look for in their bodies in the years to come.
Parents need to be very honest with their children regarding sexual issues. Answers to their questions need to be direct, without any ambiguity. When the parent does not have answers to the questions asked by their child; the parent should clearly say so and offer to get the answers later on. Children mostly want to know the whys of a conversation and the conversation should provide that.
Most guardians may reschedule sex education for their children. The times to bring up the discussion could be when they believe the child has an issue, which they may not want to talk about. Some children may also come asking questions about things they heard from their friends or saw on television.
Parents can take the opportunity to start the discussion. Guardians need to provide the correct information regarding sex, so no one else feeds their children with wrong information.
