Did I excite you with the title? Of course I did, if you have malice in your brain. But I am sorry that you are guessing the wrong point. This may not be the post that you are longing for, but this can be very helpful if you are a concerned parent like me.

Sex, as what most people may think that it is only an adult topic but is for children too. In fact, they are more curious about it than we are. This is why most parents are bothered when their children ask them about sex. With this, I made some research and here is what I learned.

Start as early as possible

We can include this while we are teaching them the parts of the human body like the eyes, hands and other. We must not let him or her feel that there is something to be ashamed of However; we need to be gentle when we teach the sensitive parts. We must be careful in choosing the right words at the right time. We must also include that they should not be should not be shown publicly. But don’t get excited. As your child grows, he will be more aware about this gradually.

Avoid using nicknames

I must admit, this is the one I am guilty of. I learned that when the child older reach the age of 3, it is better if you do not use colorful nicknames for their private parts. Vagina and penis are not bad words as long as you use them properly. By using the right term, we will get to use to it without any embarrassment. But if you don’t and they will hear the correct ones from others, he will get confused and may wonder why you have to hide it.

Start the baby talk

By the age of 6, children will start to be curious when they see pregnant women. During this age, we can start explaining to them how babies are being made. Obviously, we need not to explain what lovemaking is all about. But it is just alright when we tell them about a men’s sperm and a woman’s egg joining together. However, they must understand that babies should only be a product of love. In this way, they can also start to realize that sex is sacred. This is very important when your child is in their early teens.

Learn other strategies

Most of the time; it feels awkward to discuss sex with our children. This is why we should learn different strategies. Each child has to be treated uniquely when it comes to sex talk. There are a lot of books to use when discussing it to your child. You can also ask assistance from professionals and experts about this matter. If you are a first-time parent, ask help from your parent. If you are a single parent and your child is of opposite sex, request a trusted relative to do this for you.

What our child don’t know might hurt them, but how they learn it can hurt them more.
