In Nigeria and even all around Africa, the topic, SEX is more or less ignored and this has a terrible effect on the young ones as they grow up because talking about sex with your kids, helps them understand more about sex and from a reliable source.

You’d agree with me that there’s a lot of lies about sex and leaving the younger ones to learn the hard way is not the best way. So, my next posts would treat the topic of sex and everything associated with it from the youngster’s point of view. We’d be talking about sexual assaults, rape, molestation and everything sex.
First of all, is there really a right time to start talking to your kids about sex? If yes, when is the right time?

Have a lovely week ahead people.
I think talking to them right from a tender age is ideal. Most children are assaulted right from a tender age. Parents should have the talk with their kids from ages 4 and above

DeleteFrom 10-14 you can talk kids about attraction to others. From 15 you should talk about sex, proper methods of contraception and STIs.
ReplyDeleteThere's a period of "innocence" before then though
From around 3-5yrs, while still building relationships with them, you should let them know that the parts of their bodies no one should touch.
It's not really the same as talking about sex because they can't understand much but it would help identify potential threats/abusers.

DeleteLet the child know the gender differences from a tender age of 3 and above .nigerian parents are fond of making their children feel like their bodies are abominations especially little girls . .instead why not teach the girl to love ,embrace and take care of her body. #zanniesamuel
