Re: Sex education for Children. Any advice?
My kids, who are both teenaged girls, have no hesitation in coming to me with any questions they may have, most especially when it comes to the subject of sex. Right from when they were of a very young age, if they had any questions or concerns on the topic, I always answered them both openly and honestly and in the best way that I possibly could. The way I see it "beating around the bush" will only do more harm than good and, since they are going to learn the truth about sex sooner or later anyway, what's the point in going down that road to begin with? In my opinion, filling their heads with nonsense (at any age) is a very unwise thing to do and it will only come back to bite you in the butt someday. When I was a child, I was always told that I was delivered by the Stork and the only thing that lie did for me was get me beat up by other kids in school. Honesty is the best policy, no doubt about it.
