So does what if the mother is dead, should he hire a maid to bathe only his daughters Una reasoning for this forum sef! If the mother is dead no relation. OK when the daughter is 6 years. But remember imperfections everywhere.

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.

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

Bro,I was just discussing this thing with someone last week.Sex education seems to be a gateway or bodily awareness on parts of there body and it’s functions.The marmot number of underaged ppl freely engaging in sexual activities is alarming and it’s a total mess to the so called sex education.
I think it’s only necessary to teach them wholistically morality and hope for the best.

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..
You must be very slow..imagine your parents showing u such scene at an early age, do you know how awkward that will be? you just took away the kids innocence and exposed him to a world of pornography or you think it will end there ..some of you just open mouth waaaah with no sense

The age at which children, especially girls, go through puberty is becoming lower and lower. Most girls start menstruation around 10/11 these days. For this reason, it is necessary to have that talk with them as early as possible. Anywhere around 8-11 years old is fine, for girls.

As for approach, be blunt and straightforward. Explain-
1. What menstruation means and the implications. Ovulation etc.
2. Explain what sexual intercourse is, and the consequences.
3. Educate your children on the antics used by paedophiles - scare tactics, threats, promises etc

In addition to these, be vigilant and develop a relationship with your children that will make it easy for them to confide in you.

Lol, I get where you are coming from..

But Really, Just like sex itself, children will still come across Pornography one way or d other..

Dats y I said, you eject and most importantly Tell d child about it in DETAILS..D Good and Bad and consequences..Do not think Children of 6, 7 and 8 years are innocent..They have Bad friends at Skul, Tv stations(Mtv base, Soundcity,etc) n movies corrupts Dem..

Dats y you should be open and professional in teaching Dem d sex education..

Wen u do dat, d child will respect you n take your Advice..

But I see, Most of u (Parents n Upcoming Parents) have Fear in you(to speak to ur own child oo)..
While some have Ulterior motives or hidden agenda on d child..Dats y u guys don't want d sex education..

Leave children to grow and know things by themselves. Sex education may spoil them the more,
Remember, anything that have advantages must have disadvantages

..girls that were given the talk how many of them have respected and taken the advice.. opunu

Do you know the reason african parents dont give the talk to kids?bcus one way or another it will create curiosity to explor early and that will be very dangerous to the child's physche,
of course bad friends and media will influence the child thats normal but the conscience of right and wrong will trouble that child for someone to talk to about whats going on with them and how to handle it hence a safespace with parents is necessary before giving the talk

honestly if my parents showed me porn at an early age in order to teach me sexeducation, i would have impregnated a girl at age 12 why? bcus it will make me feel like an adult
but I held restraint despite pressure's from opposite sex bcus of guilt is what am about to do right or wrong?

Allow them to discover their sexuality you cant control it

as early as possible.



between the age of 8.


.reasons why I said 8 is because of the Main factors.
1. SOCIAL MEDIA
2. TELEVISION
3. FILMS .INCLUDING CARTOONS
4. BOOKS, MAGAZINES E. T. C
5. FRIENDS AND REST .

8 is much too early.

I was forced to learn it in class, and as a 9 year old it made no sense.

It is simply parents looking out that works better for their children. It is not sex education that will stop a rapist raping a small child. It is simply teaching your children not to touch or be touched. It is controlling what they watch — only ineffectual parents claim they will learn it elsewhere. I never did. It is how you train children they will grow. Not sex education.

They should learn about it at 13 years, when puberty begins. Sex education at younger age simply increases sexual activity in minors due to curiosity to test what they now know.

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.

TRUE, it lies uncertain if a child will be immoral or not whether told or not about sex.
Teach him with preceding maturityand age.
Pray and fast for hi or her.
Use the cane When he or she is yet to differentiate his or her senses properly.
Counsel and advise him or her on the need for everything at its time and in Proper order

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

Teach him with preceding maturity and age.
Don't expose him or her to what the maturity cannot manage.
Be firm about the type of friend.
Better train him or her from day school.
Pray and fast for him or her.
Use the cane When he or she is yet to differentiate his or her senses properly.
Counsel and advise him or her on the need for everything being done or achieved at its time and in Proper order.
Wish y'all the best of child's right

Bullshit! How can you expect parents do their best if you don't want them to sex educate their kids? Ignorant isn't an excuse.

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..

Lol bro i did mommy and daddy wella, from your example sir, the bbnaija babe don mature enough but she still carry the fear up to that level before she now think otherwise that its now her life...that my point...my point is simple if a child has not know anything called penis vagina breast and their functions etc don't introduce it to them let them know it themselves then inputing the fear of knowing such things will guide them up to a level...but educating/exposing them early as 6, 7 is very bad...look at what happened to baba ijesha that have been molesting a girl from 7 and caught at age 14 and he's being doing it for good 7 years please my brother will you say the mother or father didn't gave her sex education?but she has been exposed to it if not for cctv it would have continued that my point...only God can help raise a child not sex education and the best thing we can do as parents is to be the best friend of our children so that they can share anything with us as per whats going on in their lives.

As much as sex education is important and you don't want your children to indulge in sex at a very age. Sex education shouldn't be taken too serious.

Children of nowadays are always curious. When you emphasis something too much, they get obsess with it and eventually try to explore.

Most children start indulging in sex gradually when they are taught REPRODUCTION in INTEGRATED SCIENCE.

My best advice is train your children with the word of God and teach sex education indirectly and don't lay too much emphasis.

Please I also need your opinion on this guys...at what age should you stop bathing your female kids as a father ?
This is very important. Before, they will start labeling you names as a Father.
