how is it inapropraite to teach young kids bout sex?

Answer 1

anytime after 5 or 6 is ok. kids are having sex younger and younger everyday. it is never too early to teach them the consequences of doing this at a young age. hope this helps. good luck.

Answer 2

They're ready for different amounts of information and details at different ages and maturities. Telling a 5 year old about periods is only going to upset her (or him), for example. And until they're old enough to experience an actual sex drive (after puberty), there's no way to explain it to them (sex acts feel good at any age, but there's no drive behind it if there aren't any hormones being produced). Kids have built-in "safety devices" that naturally keep them from wandering into territories that they're not ready for. Usually that babies come from a special place in their mommy's belly is all they want or need to know. If you try to tell them more, they get upset or block it out. It's best to be led by their questions. When they don't have any more questions, then stop. I wouldn't go overboard about having to keep it a secret, because that only puts undue emphasis on the subject. As long as they have age-appropriate facts, there generally is no harm if they decide to "share the knowledge" with their playmates.

Answer 3

It's NOT inappropriate to teach your kids about about sex at any age. Just the level of detail that you go into will be different depending on the child's age and previous talks.

My mother was always very open and direct about sex. We just grew up knowing. I was always to kid in grade school that was explaining everything to the other girls. I was always amazed at the poor information that they got from other girls.

The girls that knew the least were the ones that ended up pregnant in high school.

Just remember, what ever you don't teach them they will learn it somewhere...who informstion do you want them to have?

Also, my mother didn't teach us abstinence, she taught us responsible sex. As a result, both myself and my brother married the right people and didn't have kids before. He just have his first baby and I am pregnant.

Good luck.

Answer 4

It depends on the age of the child. Offering too much information to a child who is not prepared to deal with it can cause more harm than good that can reach into adulthood in the form of dysfunctional relationships of the physical and emotional kind. For a very young child, I would keep it along the lines of "what adults who love eachother do" and not get too graphic. But you also have to know your own child. With my son, I could have told him anything at any age and he would have been fine with it. But with my now-5-year-old daughter, I would have to be very careful not to freak her out.

Answer 5

In my opinion it isn't inappropriate to teach young kids about sex. It is your own personal preference. when my daughter started sixth grade there were 2 girls that were pregnant in her class. I was shocked at what my daughter said to me when she came home from school and told me about the girls, her reply was "their parents didn't have the talk with them."

I talked to each of my children about sex when they started 6th grade. As a parent it made me feel good knowing that my children listened.

I could deal with one of my children having a baby. I know as a parent I couldn't handle knowing that I will out live one of my children, because they had unprotected sex with the wrong person.

Answer 6

I don't think that kids need to learn about sex. I think kids need to learn about love, marriage and bringing babies into the world out of love. Your kids will be faced with talk about sex in school and other places soon enough, while they are young teach them about saving themselves for marriage and how their virginity is precious and once it is given away can never be gotten back. Instill their morals in them when they are young, let all the other knowledge come later.

Answer 7

When my stepdaughter was five, she was at a birthday party and started telling the other kids in detail about the sex process. I think they should be old enough to understand that it's private and very special and to relate to whatever values you want to teach your child.

Answer 8

depends on how younge. But i think once they hit puberty i would talk to my kids about sex and stds and the good and bad. and let them know about materbatin. I know a woman who did that and her son was very careful when he did have sex and was very respectful. I wish my parents would of told me. I think it's important for our kids to know about everything. specially about getting pregant like most younge girls do. I think if its your kids you should raise them on what you think is best i know thats how im going to do it when my kids hit that age. better they know about it from you than someone who don't know what there talking about or only heard about. cuz when your in school perpressure is bad on sex and drugs

Answer 9

if they're under 10, they're too young. they should be innocent children. not experienced, evil mastermind, sex hound 5 year olds.
