Even if you keep the knowledge of sex and sexuality away from your children, they would still learn it all from many other sources which might be even worse.
So, is it right to teach them everything they needed to know straight-away??

Not straight away but when puberty is setting in. U can educate them about sex. If u don't educate them by that time, they'll learn it the hard way. U can also tell them stories of yourself when u were a teenager. That should help

I don't know this thing, how do parents get to teach their children sex education, how do they go about it?

First start with a story about yourself. Children love to hear stories. Then tell them about the dangers of sex at that age. It'll stick to their brains

From age 3- 15 .......keep it from them ..... from 17 -........ start educating them about sex , May we not fail as parents. Sex is everywhere now so the earlier the better . So that they won’t go and bring one stupid infection come meet you for house . Let them know the do and don’t , the risk and others

Yeah by that time they'd be adults.

Teach them from young, 2-3. Why? So they know how to protect themselves, report and run away from all those evil uncles and aunties.

My family's school starts sex ed from Nursery 1. By nursery 2, the kids can recite what they're supposed to do if someone comes touches them, offers them sweet, tries to play too much.

17?
Please start from 14 oooo children of nowadays hmmm

In the olden days maturity stage is
18 yrs
Nowadays omo 15yrs old Tìn doko back to back

As soon as they get to 14 start talking to them

All these ages you're quoting no follow o. I'm a teacher in a secondary school and the secretary of the school disciplinary committee. We've handled a lot of stories and issue that sometimes beat our imaginations. Children as young as 7 or 8 now know what it means to have boyfriend/girlfriend and they do it for real. One confessed to have had her first boyfriend in Primary 2. So please, start as early as possible to teach them o. By 10-14, some children are already sexually active.

Seun.

The problem is most parents find it awkward to talk about sex with their children.

That's the more reason sex education should be fixed in our educational curriculum.
