how do we talk to kids about sex?

Question

i mean sex education.

Answer 1

honestly! its the only way don't start making up story just come straight out and say it and if they ask questions don't look awkward just answer them honestly. my mother and father were always very open abotu it and I never felt the subject was taboo which helped me a great deal with understanding how my body worked throughout my teens. I still talk to my mother about sex and ask her advice

Answer 2

My parents bought us this video called "where do I come from" that was really cheesy and didn't work. Since I have been a responsible adult for a few years but can still remember how akward it was being around my parnets watching a movie with a partial sex scene my best advice is to select an age and take your teenager to the doctor, for girls get them on birth control if it's their choice but ask the doctor if they could have a sex education talk with them. This way they are getting the information from a reliable source and not from their friends who had sex for the first time. They will also feel more comfortable talking to someone who isn't their parent and can even ask questions about sex that they might not feel comfortable asking you. Most doctors will go over the risk of pregnancy, STD's, STI's, and how to protect them from these things.

Answer 3

This is really a tricky question and very sensitive for the parents. I do not utter much to the kids (2 boys of 10 and 5) anything about sex or genetals. My husband does a little. Particularly like how and why to keep certain areas clean. What is hygenic. Why females are different from men. He also normally avoids talking about genetals.

My 10 yrs old never asks but we understand many times that he has some doubts about certain issues. His father circaustically explains few things which exactly he needs.

For the second son, things are different. He specifically asks, why only babies get milk? Why not others????? Why something is missing for girls? Why young girls do not have what mom has? We used to tell him to the extent he understands and will tell him, you will know when you are big. Also we make him clear that boy parts and girl parts are private and they should not be touched an all.

I think, we can not do much more than what they need to know. We feel better to clarify as and when they get questions rather than providing a class room lession for it.

Answer 4

U can't generalize. Depends on the kid. Talk to him about sex same way as u talk to him about anything else: be honest, tell the truth, and be as sensible as possible.

Answer 5

If they're old enough...you need to tell them the consequences of sex, such as STDS, pregnancy and emotional ones. Talk to them and let them know they can come to you about anything. It's better they talk to you...than someone who may advise them wrong.

Answer 6

Just talk. You can't go wrong. It's uncomfortable for both a parent and a child, but so important to a healthy relationship, and a child's knowledge of what his/her body is going through. This is the most important talk a parent and child will have. Just do it!
