March 03, 202118. ABC's of sex education - teach 'em young and often
Starting healthy sex education at home.
NOTES:
Age appropriate information (ask questions to find out what child actually wants to know). Teach about bodies and protection against abuse in separate conversations.
Begin at Birth- as the parent you are the one becoming comfortable with talking about sex. Especially if you grew up in a home where it wasn’t talked about.
Correct Terminology
Dialogue! Not a time for a lecture
Express gratitude for body and sexual capacity
Frequent conversations. It’s more than just a “once in a lifetime chat.” They can be formal and informal.
Give one-on-one time. Private conversations with each child
Honesty
Few other points:
A child’s secure sexual foundation is established in a home where questions are answered with honesty and reverence.

Roles of the parents in sexual socialization of child- they both have to actively participate and teach and be part of the conversation.

Help children to understand logistics of what is happening to their bodies when they see an image.

Talk about the joys of sex and not just the protection.
