Parents Should Teach Their Children Sex Education by Itzmeandu: 5:11pm On May 10, 2021
Hello, Everyone
Please don't misunderstand my post

The rate of sexual volence, teenage pregnacy, sexual harrassment is getting high in Africa(Nigeria).
In my own Idea one of the causes of these is lack of Sex Education.
Sex Education is high quality teaching and
learning about a broad variety of topics related
to sex and sexuality which improves one's sexual health. It can taught at Home, School, Religious Institution, and media. But the primary source is parents ar gaurdians.

Topics Include:

1. Human Development (including reproduction,
puberty, sexual orientation, and gender
identity)
2. Relationships (including families, friendships,
romantic relationships and dating)
3. Personal Skills (including communication,
negotiation, and decision-making)
3. Sexual Behavior (including abstinence and
sexuality throughout life)
4. Sexual Health (including sexually transmitted
diseases, contraception, and pregnancy)
5. Society and Culture (including gender roles,
diversity, and sexuality in the media)

All these is to be taught between the ages of 2-12.
Sex education is meant for children(2-12) and young youths(13-24).

Example, talking to children between the age of 2-5 should be mostly done a parent. At least you teach on gender identity, good touch or wrong touch and so on. Parents should not use pets name for genitals. Make it plain to them so that whenever they are abused, they can come and talk to you freely or whenever they sustain an injury down their.
I know is not that easy for parents to talk about sexuality with their kids but it is essential in their social life.
Make them comfortable and talk to them before somone else does that.
Through anxiety they might even get the information in a wrong source.

Lack of sex education even affect the adult. You will see a 23 year old who can't handle a relationship very well. That why some people say their is no love in africa, Love na scam Whereas love does exist.
You need top have the knowledge abot something before you venture into it.

As i was saying, parents should make nigeria better. Knowledge is Better. Lets Be a STARR(Stand Against Rape and Rapist).
