We teach children to read and we expect them to read. We teach them about numbers and we expect them to be able to do mathematical equations. So then how can we not teach our kids about human sexuality and still expect them to make sensible love and relationship decisions? Some societies say that sex education will cause more pregnancy, but drivers’ education certainly doesn’t cause more accidents, does it?
In my opinion, one of the most wonderful wishes you can have for your children is that they have healthy happy love lives. The best way for them to achieve that is to be raised with open and honest communication about love and sex.
The wonderful thing about explaining sex to kids is that you usually don’t have to bring up the subject. It comes up on its own. Whether they see a couple kissing, a pregnant woman, or dogs mating, opportunities abound to make talking about sex a normal and natural part of growing up.
Be the first to discuss love and sex in a positive context. If you don’t start talking to your kids early, it’s not going to take any time at all before they think they know more than you. Then, don’t count on them listening.
