No ooo, we tell them some people feel those parts are not to be mentioned outside the home but we believe they are smart and need to know. They know that people are judgmental towards those things. They don't attend school where a teacher can just beat them. Me I go flog that teacher too no be lie funny enough they never said anything to non family members. in short I think they discuss such only with us and their grand ma they have NEVER gone to anyone else to discuss issues about the body.

In my opinion start as soon as they ask and also make them know that not everyone appreciates talking about such things so anytime they need to talk, they wait till dad and mom are available. Also tailor the lesson according to the child's mental capacity and environment.

looking them in the eye and telling them how to have safe sex and avoid pregnancy and do funny stuff is so unafrican and uncomfortable, jeez

sirBLUNT:

"if you impregnate any girl you will know how to feed her and which house you will keep her"

oh my God you guys are rare kind of parents, like you aint nigerian, I'd faint before I say it to an innocent kid lol, until I was 12 I used to believe babies were bought from the hospital

My kids are under 10 yrs old. Every time they as questions about the body we take as an opportunity to talk about it and tell them how those parts should be used. They know babies are a product of sex, they know about vaginal and CS births, They know how sex happens, they know when the right time is for sex, they have a vague idea about menses(thanks to mom) but they aren't too interested at the moment to learn more about it. We do not go all out but we explain the basics and what are the NO NO like not allowing someone touch their privates, they know that as siblings they need to respect each others bodies and boundaries, they know that they can not date or have sex until a certain age, they know about pedophilia and they know that they can come to us at anytime to talk. No topic is sacred, if they ask we talk although from time to time we ask them to give us time to think how best to explain for their level of understanding and we make sure to revisit the topic as much as they will understand.

They are welcome to ask questions and we hope to keep them educated and smart about their sexuality until adulthood. They are honestly not fazed by sex, for them it is just a way of life for adults and biology ie body parts and functions. Although they are confused these days about women having babies without being married. I told them it happens but it isn't the norm but an exception.

Why not? If you don't tell them about sex education, they'll get it from somewhere else.

luvme0702:
It's important to educate them about sex or else, someone else might.

RALPHOW:


AT WHAT AGE PLEASE?

sacluxisback:
I fully understood about sex in my 20s.

Wait till they get to their teens before you bring such up.

The one we got from our mothers when we started seeing our menses is "if any boy touches you on your breast or bumbum you'll get pregnant

LOL, I am Nigerian I just believe that as soon as a child starts asking, it is time to tell them like you teaching biology, Of course there is the occasional ewws and laughter and whatever but they pick important info. At 2 my daughter and I talked about crushing and how it was okay to crush but that as time went on, she will have to get a hold of herself and use her big girl brain more.We still talk about falling in love from time to time. she also learnt about kiss and tell guys and why it is important to be good friends with a boy she may crush on LOL. We as parents are doing our best. I grew up in a home where if you asked what penis and vagina was, a strong slap would re arrange your teeth in your mouth My lil cousin in those days was almost killed because he wrote Toto in his book. I don't want to raise ignorant kids. I can say we started when they were 2 yrs old. I forgot to add, we treated the gay topic last week. Gosh no thanks to one show on FOX. my 6 year old asked how do gays get sex? I told her they touch each others peepee since they both have only peepee. Hahahaha, I no know how to explain that one now o. Make I no explode her head. But I think I will tell if they ask again.

makky555:



For real

Your own worse oo...
I used to thinks mothers pooped babies out of the anus... But when I heard twas from the private part I got scared and I swore never to get pregnant in my life again ...well until now

lmao the baby stays with poo? Ignorance is cute and adorable in kids this is so funny

No, they just take it like biology. Although they once were wanting new siblings and said in our presence mom, dad... when will you guys get sex and give us brothers and sisters? sometimes they look at new babies and ask if those were also as a result of mom and dad getting sex? yes, they processed the info openly but nothing extra. They just were curious. If you mention sex they will just laugh because the process is funny to them. They still wonder how dad gets his peepee inside the moms vagina tho. I told them it is lesson for another day. if they ask again tho, I will tell.
Although I never discouraged them from talking about their bodies, the major eye opener for me was when my son came home saying he now knows how babies are made. I said oh yeah.... who taught you? he said a friend showed him from a book at school. Fortunately it was a book about conception and pregnancy. showing the sperm and egg meeting and what happens till full term. I thought it was a matter of time before he might see a video. make we teach them before world people teach them anyhow for us.

Most parents don't talk about sex in front of their kids because they think it might corrupt them or they might try it, while others do, but the kids who never had sex education often grow curious and ignorant and the price of ignorance is costly on the long run, I don't think sex education is doing more harm than good

what do you think about sex education?
