should parents talk 2 their children of sex if yes then y and what should b the child's rite age 2 tell?

Question

should parents b frank of talking sex and other relations 2 their children....plzz give ur opinon??

Answer 1

When the child starts asking, that's the time they're interested. Answer whatever they ask. The more honest and open you are, the more honest and open they'll be, both then and later in their life.
If they don't get answers at home, they'll search for them elsewhere, perhaps from someone who doesn't love them like a parent would.

Answer 2

Yes. The quicker you turn into something common the less taboo it will be in their lives. You don't have to force this by any age, but they will start wondering on their own. Let this be the time-when it naturally arises. Explain it like anything else. If you treat it like something strange and specific they will too. People think if they avoid it then their kids will not know about it; but this is wrong. They will learn it somewhere, from someone, and most likely in a bad way; so it is better to just be the parent and to tell them what it is. If you can't do this consider talking about it to another adult as practice. You have to feel comfortable. Kids pick up on everything-if they think you are uncomfortable with it they can use it to try to shock or rebel against you later.

Answer 3

As a mother of 8 children ranging from 2 to 21 - I must say yes!!! Talk to them! the sooner the better! Don't let society tell them what is going on in the world and trust me by the time you feel it is the right time to be talking to them about it - society has already gave an opinion.

I was talking with my friend the other day about her 12 year old - I asked her if her daughter was having sex - she responded with a quick NO! - I said "have you ask her?" My friend again replied, no. I then ask - how do you know if you have not ask? So many parents assume that they know their children and what they are doing or not doing - my only advice would be to NEVER assume! Ask them! If you really want to know and if you don't ask then don't be angry when they let you know what they already know.

It is our job as parents to educate our own children!

Answer 4

There's a sea of sex related information that even I don't want to know about. If your children have access to any kind of computer, or go to any kind of school, or watch any kind of television, or leave the house for any reason, you should talk to them about sex. You'll probably learn a thing or two. At the very least, you'll learn that there are a few things you should have talked to them about sooner.

Schools generally have some Sex-Ed classes, or information, which tells children more or less how it is done, and what sort of things can be used to reduce the risk of diseases and pregnancies.

Movies, TV, and advertising tells anyone who's looking that sex is fun, and multiple sexual relationships outside of marriage is normal.

Friends, and sometimes even relatives have their own stories about sexual experiences to tell, and they do tell them... along with all kinds of jokes and fashion statements.

America floats atop a sea of sexual undercurrents. Concepts about what is an appropriate relationship are changing very quickly, and there are people out there who are taking advantage of this fact.

However you may feel about the purpose, and place of sex in the lives of your children, the simple fact is that they don't know how you feel until you tell them. They only know what they see and hear.

Answer 5

well in sckool they teach the children all about sex when they r in the 5th grade and if theyr skool doesnt do that then i would tell them before they hi peruberty and dont be afrade inless your kids feel un conferatable aske them, EX.....

If they feel uncomforitable wait 4 another year or have someone of the same sex but not in the house hold tell them about sex. but not a stranger like a friend.
good luck with ur kids!

Answer 6

I think they should talk to them, but give it to them gradually, starting with the changes that occur to the teenager, and then telling them about sex in a simple way, I think that Kids should hear it from their parents before anyone else, it makes the child trust his parent and believe them, I think they should be told at around 11

Answer 7

my mom always says "if their old enough to ask the question then their old enough to hear the answer" so id wait till your child comes to you and asks you questions.. If their like 5 asking where babies come from of course they arent mentally able to hear the birds and bee's talk but like i told my 5 year old when she asked.. I said when a mommys and daddys get married god puts a baby in her belly, then after the baby grows for 9 months , the daddy takes the mommy to the hospital and the doctors take the baby out of the mommy's belly.. Luckily she's not to inquisitive but if she had pressed on with questions i wouldnt ever lie to her.. So answer when they ask, but go by maturity level on how much detail they actually need to give out..

Answer 8

YES I THINK EVERY PARENT SHOULD TALK TO THERE CHILDREN ABOUT SEX TO LET THEM NO THE CONSEQUENCES IF THEY WAS TO GET PREGNANT OR GET A GIRL PREGNANT AND TO LET THEM NO OF DIEASES LIKE AIDS AND STDS BUT THE AGE DEPENDS ON THE CHILD AND HOW MATURE THEY ARE BUT I WOULD SAY ANY WHERE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 10-11

Answer 9

by the age of 12 these days. I have a little sister, Im 20 and she's 12 and she knows just as much as I do and my parents didn't tell her. Tell your kids by 10 or 11.
Yup, sad isn't it.

Answer 10

Yes, I would use a cereal box and show them the 'Insert Tab A into Slot B'. Around 17 years old.
