At the first onset of puberty.

From age thirteen and upwards.

At that age, they can comprehend and relate to what you are saying.

Age 13? Girls go through puberty far earlier than that. Age 13 would be too late.

When he or she is an adult, infact sex education is a waste of time.

A child is a child so he or she is supposed to be learning:

1. How to be responsible and respectful.
2.How to read and write
3.How to pass common entrance
4.what field of study he or she wants to go into during secondary school.
5. Find he or her talent.

Not sex education.

I have never seen where sex education make a child a talented singer, pianist, programmer, inventor, painter, writer etc

Sex education is just a marxists plot to make kids obsessed about sex.

These days with the level of dark information available plus craziness all over...@ even 5 years old they need to be introduced to sex education if not society will and there are usually consequences when society does that...

Today a child of 7 years old already debates about sexual orientation because of some cartoons they watch... Ol boy this generation of kids aren't smiling one bit. I am very sure that many of us in their 30's, At 11 years old, didn't know what the word gay meant, but ask a 6 year old child today especially in the west what gay means and perhaps you'd have an idea that the society of today is indeed something.

When is the best period to introduce a male or female child to sex education and how without making it seem too early or too late?

The world is rapidly changing mostly in a negative way. If you don't teach your child(ren), the society will teach them and in most cases in a destructive way.

Any advice?

Its best to start as early as when they are 3 years old.... try to explain to them in a way a child of his or her age will understand, you continue even when they get to age 5, 8, and 11... its a very important and shouldn't be neglected especially with the way things are happening these days...

Very Nice Topic!!

WHEN TO INTRODUCE!!
D Best time is 6 or 7 years of Age..Dis is because Children lose dier innocence(Dat Childish naviety) @dat age..

If u check, it is@dis age dey start knowing about Sex, Toto, Dicck, etc..

Dey learn it from Skul or Playmates..While some see it on TV or even inscriptions on wall in doz Kpako areas..

HOW TO INTRODUCE!!
You can Buy d Child his or her Favourite Candy, Biscuits, Toys, etc,,

Slot in a Movie which have sex scenes( where d actors go Nude while Kissing n Smooching!!)..
Den Pause and Eject and then Expose d Child to the world of Sex..

Tell him/her Dat it is meant for 18+ or Those who wants to Marry..Not for Teenagers or Kids..
Admit dat it is sweet n sensational but Full of Consequences such as STDs, HIV n even Destruction of Destiny..

Den d Child will Learn n Appreciate you d Parent!!

Kudos to d OP, Once Again!!

Added: Parents diz days re Something Else!! In d Catholic Church I once Attended, One woman( leader of d HCA, Holy Child association), wanted to advise d Young girls of d Group on dis Topic..

Most of d Parents in d Parish Told her NO!! Dat deir children are innocent!!
Was wondering, So diz Parents wants dier children to learn Sex from Friends/Media?? N it's not like Dey Demselves will teach dier kids the Sex Education oo..

Sex education is a fallacy.

In fact, the moment you tell a child the do(s) and don’t(s) about adulthood, na that time he or she will like to experiment the don’t(s) especially this uncircumcised generation....

There is a time in everyone’s life when he/she will turn into what he/she will become......

When that time comes there’s nothing you as a parent can do to stop him/her.

Doyin Okupe comes to mind..... my apologies for mentioning a name... but let the message be passed..

Do your best as a father/mother ....... the rest is an unpredictable phenomenon.

God bless you sir

Cos I have come to realise that most attitude we exhibit are in built, they are mostly from our family, genetic.

Not all anyway, but at least we should just talk some sense to the young ones. The one wey one listen go listen, the one wey no wan hear no go hear!

As soon as they can recognize you as the mother or father. Children of nowadays are so smart. Teach them the correct name of each sensitive part. Teach them never to play with it or allow anybody to play or touch it. Some parent like using slang for each part, no no tell them the correct names. Teach them to respond sharply like 'stop that' or i will tell my mum or dad, to anyone that touches them inappropriately. As they are growing up continue to teach them and be blunt. Don't ever shy away from any topic.
It was my dad that taught me sex Education. He never shy away from it and it helped me a lot while growing up. Although my mum taught me too but I was more closer to my dad. When I saw my menses for the first time, it was my dad I ran to, and he took me to my mum, and I was lectured on how to take care of myself. Parents should learn to be free with their children. The world out there is not normal. So crazy!


Oh!! Dats so Sweet n Nice of your Dad!!

There are exceptions to every situations and events in life..always think about that before dishing out a general opinion.

I'm not sure you entirely understand the question. Sexual orientation is different from sex education. Sex education is to basically teach your kids everything they need to know about sex at different stages of their growth. This is to prevent them of being victims of paedophiles and wrong knowledge.

What is sex education in the first place?you will be surprised before you even say jack ur teenager will sit u down and educate u...my best sec education is the method our grandma used i.e. threaten the boy or girl that if anyone touch u na belle be that o they will leave with that fear but a case where u sit a child down then start telling him or her sexual stories...children of nowadays will practicslize everything u say and that can be a doom...only God can help raise a child. Mommy and daddy play among infants start from sex education they heard from their parents but when you threaten them they live with that fear till they mature but like i said only Jah helps...




Hello, plz you are Wrong on dis!!

You can teach a Child sex education without instilling 'Fear' in Dem..

Infact, Dat Fear tactics (most used for Girls) is counter-productive!! A Guy with good persuasion will counter her opinions n have sex with her! Her bad friend can also do same!!

In 2019 BBNaija, one Girl(Daine or so) said her Grandma Forced Dem to swear to be virgins when dey were little.
But In d house, she looked so Sex-starved n hungry for Romance..She was under D Fear of sex probably@dat youthful age..She grew up to fear sex, probably..

Instead, You teach Children and let dem know d Good n Bad Sides..

In oder post, u re saying 'Pikin wen go Spoil go Spoil'..

D way you re saying it, am suspecting you oo. It's like you did 'Mummy n Daddy under bedsheet play' well well when you were small..

I remember having mine in school at age 12. The teacher was very robotic in teaching it, but it was better than nothing. I’m almost 40 and still waiting for my parents to give theirs. Apparently it’s only “go and get married” or “where is your significant other?” I hear from them constantly. Humans are different so the required ages vary. I like the recommendation of 9 years old for both sexes. I know boys start having sexual inclinations at 12 so one can wait a little longer in their case.

Fallacy at its best.

What has the so call education done to human, the stat is obvious moral decadence everywhere why then still stick to somtin that obvoiusly is not working - its a fact.

Please donot introduce to your child at any age but always guide and be observant - the mind is a curious beast. You just be the best parent you could ever be, live responsibly, treat your hubby or wife with respect and always correct your child when he/she is wrong if you need to flog you have to. Pray as you have put in the work already and hope grace of God guide them. that the best you can do never introduce any Sex education o ejoor

As early as possible and I think the government should introduce it into our educational curriculum as early primary school.

The truth is whether you teach them about sex education or not, what will be will be. At least that's what I have observed. What you guys need to realize is that you can teach them sex education but you can't control their surging hormones and emotions. If only there was a way to tame or control their surging hormones.....

It is what it is.....

Teach them about Private and Public part.

Private parts are parts no one must touch. They are lips, thighs, vagina/penis, anus etc.

They shouldn't touch them or try to put anything inside


If any one touches it or tries to put anything inside, scream.

No uncle or aunty or cousin or friend should touch you there. If they touch you there, tell mummy or daddy, mummy and daddy will not die, mummy and daddy will not beat you, mummy and daddy will not stop loving you, mummy and daddy will believe you.

These are the lies pedophiles use to threaten kids to stay quiet.

I use to think I will wait till 6 to teach but right now I must start immediately.

Imagine if this friend didn't start early to teach him.who would have taught a 13year old could think like this. The little girl has been having sex since she was 8 embarassed and can no longer control herself.
