Knowing of Naks is not same as sex education. undecided

It’s the beginning of sex education…
Sex education starts from self discovery. I’m sure nobody taugh you that your coochie was meant to receive gbola . You self discovered as soon as you became self aware.

Once pikin enter ss1 start educating them on the meaning and deadly dangers of sexual intercourse so as to have them refrain from it. The steps are two:
-Explain the meaning
-Explain the inherent danger and how terrible the consequences are
Ss1?

You sound like Aje butter

It. Depends on where you live

Have you ever seen dogs or chickens f.uck.ing?
How old were you the first time?
Some people see that regularly from age 6
The way some people talk is funny

especially when they have no direct experience of poverty and life in the trenches

SS1 is okay for Ajebutter living in GRA

Not necessarily. Understanding one's body is where it makes sense to start if you ask me. Self discovery is something else that can come from desire to discover which not all explore. undecided

I wish to ask this question to know if I am on the right path. I am a kind that believe parents should start teaching their children at age of 14 and above about the danger of having sex at a tender age.

Sometimes ago, I received the most brutal disgrace of my life. I have this neighbor that has two daughters. The eldest is 15 years old while the other one is just 12 years old.

So there was a day I was teaching them about the danger of having sex at all and of course at such tender age.

In the course of our conversation, their mother walked bye and she started yelling at me and raining all sort of insults on me. She was like, what sort of nonsense am I teaching her children, what kind of rubbish is that, my children are young and yet you are teaching them rubbish, for your info my children are young and they don't know anything about all the rubbish you have been saying, never and never in your life talked to my daughters in your life.

I was disgraced but was later rescued by my brother who instructed me to apologise to the woman.

Now, the question is, does enlightening our children who has attained the age of 13 and above about the danger of sex portends any danger. And when is the right age can one start teaching his/her children about the calamity of sex ?

Please, Matured responses.

Thank you in anticipation

For starters Your children must know from an early age that no one - be it family, strangers, authority figures have any business touching their private parts.

Also, if you do not teach your kids about sex, their friends or pornhub will.

What is the use of sex education when the so called parent or guardian buys indecent clothes or sees their children or wards in such indecent clothings and still turn a blind eye.

After teaching them sex education you aren't living a true example before them by being decent in Outlook and interaction with the opposite gender. You are simply being a hypocrite no vex.

Teach them but live it out before them, they won't regret having this knowledge early in life.



My two cents.

What is the purpose of sex education though?
Different ages, different purposes.

12 and below=awareness of sexual abuse. "If you touch my private part I will report"

12-16=puberty changes. What to expect and what not. Menstrual hygiene.

16-18=safe sex. Contraception.STI.sexuality

I started telling my daughter about the danger of sex since she was 5years. I told her not to sit on any Uncle's lap, not to allow anyone touch in sensitive places like...her boot, her armpit, breasts and her private parts. Most importantly NO ONE SHOULD CALL HER "MY WIFE." You dare not call my daughter your wife. I go chop you raw.
grin bros, all these one's na nonsense...Alot of parents who's children are olosho's today did even worse.. Pikin wey go spoil go spoil. You can not monitor her for ever... Pikin wey go fûck go fûck, even if you start to dey teach am sex education from 5 years old grin

It may not be too early...depending on how much time you spend with the kids

If you stay away from home and leave them with nannies, start earlier with the basics

Tell them that there are only two genders before Netflix and woke culture confuses them
through cartoons

From 0-6 years, a child's behaviour is molded

It is never too early to tell a child that Mr. a or Ms. b is not supposed to touch their private parts

There are many paedophiles

It's easier to start sth good than to correct sth bad

Op you have done well
But you need to be sensitive
Parents of this era don't take things like this likely. We don't trust each other again
She might thought you are trying to get close to them.

All is left for the teachers in school.

In my school, we do pep talks on sex education especially during children and teenagers camp.
It is in our scheme of work for each class per session from 3+
During girls Day, same is done.

During camp outs, if you hear this children talking to you or asking questions you can't imagine. You would be amazed and we realized that most parents have failed in the duty as parents.
God help us

I would say age 3-4.At that age, just tell them places on their body that shouldn't be touched and to report to you if an attempt was made to do that.Warn them not to follow "uncles" or "aunties".Use simple language that they can understand.As they mature,you can use more complex terms and even use other stories you find in the news or even personal experience to warn them of the danger of exposing themselves to situations that could make them susceptible and off-guard.

The more we shy away from sex education, the more it eats badly into the society.

Age-appropriate sex education can begin as early as 4 years old and continue through adulthood.

For children aged 4-8, sex education focuses on basic body parts, safety, consent, and body positivity.

For children aged 9-12, sex education includes more complex topics such as puberty, gender identity, healthy relationships, and sexually transmitted infections.

For teenagers and young adults, sex education can include more in-depth information on topics such as sexual pleasure, sexuality and disability, and other reproductive health issues and the effects involved in practicing sex at an early age.

The forms of sex education can include books, videos, community programs, school-based programs, conversations with parents and caregivers, or through a healthcare provider.

All this should be done rightly with the appropriate reference to age limits.

NB: In this society, to avoid embarrassment, if you are not a sexual education professional or immediate parent or blood relation, having this discussion with an outsider might be termed as been intruding into their privacy.

Next time, seek consent.

You and I know that the reason you have for suggesting female kids get sex education earlier is because they are more vulnerable to your gender touching their private parts

Start at age 1 by monitoring the child constantly and ensuring pedos and weirdos don't have access to him or her. That's part of a successful sex education.

At age 5 your child should know about his or her body parts by name and should know the rules regarding touching.

At age 8 your child should not his or her body parts by name and by function. This knowledge may be superficial but it is a good introduction. Also start introducing the child to the consequences of inappropriate sexual access and communication.

At age 12 your child should know about intercourse, menstruation, orgasm, virginity, STDs, HIV AIDs, HPV, pornography, sexual immorality, sexual behavior and the supernatural implications of sex. He or she should know the benefit and consequence of these issues. At this age it would be better to have them see a live birth, see HIV/AIDs patients, see HPV patients etc. From this age onwards, girl children should have her virginity checked regularly.

At age 15, deepen their knowledge of what was taught at age 12. With emphasis on the benefits and consequences. At this age emphasis should be laid on spirituality, purpose and purity.

From the age of 15 and above you as a parent need to intensify intercession for your children for there is little you can coax or force them to do.
