I believe that sex education should be taken seriously and should begin when the child is at least 3 years of age.
Why? This generation coming would be much more harder to control due to exposure, i.e, the things they see on TV and around them.
I am not saying you should go all in, what I’m saying is you should let them know somehow that somethings are wrong and unacceptable. You can do that without disturbing their innocence.
Here’s how you can do that:
- Start by telling them how precious they are tell them how special their bodies are and that no matter the circumstance, no one has the right to touch their bodies in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable.
- Encourage them to tell you about their day, everyday if possible.
- Learn to scold them lovingly (like this is ever possible, lol. We can still try.)
This next point is the most important one to me.
African parents, research has shown that 7 out of 10 rapes are committed by someone known to the victim.- Therefore if he/she is not your sibling, your children shouldn’t refer to him/her as Uncle/Aunty.

African parents tend to make their kids call even the gardener ‘Uncle’, why? This isn’t right.
Rape, molestation and assaults. Do I really think these can end?
Yes, I do. I think it can end and will end when we start teaching boys that girls aren’t sex objects and when we start encouraging our girls to speak up when things like this happen.
I’d be posting more rape stories cause I just can’t throw them away.
