Children develop confidence when they get parental guidance on the issues confronting them. Sex education for parents ensures they distribute the correct information to their children when it comes to sex issues. This affirms the role of the parent in the education of the child. Sex education is provided in schools, but all children would not have the same level of comfortability asking all their questions in the classroom.
Children whose guardians provide them education on sex become sexually active later than others who do not get such information according to research. Parents make themselves available to answer the questions of their children anytime; however, the topic comes up only once in a while in schools. Most children also listen to and believe what their guardians tell them rather than what anyone else says.
The school should give their children all the information they need on any issue including sex. The schools are reluctant to bring up the issue. Most fathers shy away from the sex discussion, especially with their female children. It is not a good thing to give information with a lot of ambiguity. Mothers talk more, but have difficulty explaining things to boys. Some societies and religions discourage talking about sex. Parents falling in these societies may never bring the issue up.
Parents need to prepare for the topic of sex to teach their children. They can read books and online materials that are appropriate for the age group of their children. It is also important for guardians to prepare in advance rather than wait for their children to begin asking questions. It is better to be prepared than to not be at all.
Guardians need to give the information on sex to children little by little rather than giving all the information in one sitting. This way, a lasting impression would be made on the mind of the child all their life. It also makes children feel comfortable expressing their own concerns. Teaching on issues relating to human sexuality should begin before the child attains puberty, so they know the changes to look for in their bodies in the years to come.
Parents need to answer children's concerns about sex with as much openness as possible. Answers to questions have to be straight to the point. They should also be explanatory without any ambiguity. Children would normally want to know the reasons why they are not to do something. Guardians should do their best to address all these. Parents should be very honest when they do not have answers to a question.
Some parents postpone the discussion of sex issues because they may be waiting for the right moment. The right opportunity for discussion is when the child asks a question or when the guardians suspect the child may have issues bothering them. Also, when sexual content come up on television while the child is watching is a good opportunity to explain things to him.
If sex education is neglected by guardians, then children would pick up a lot of information from their friends and what they see on television.
