Talkin sex with Children...

Today was one of those days my children had me to them.
I retuened from school with them and i switch on the T.v
and everything the preacher man says, she re echoes.
i was excited to hear her until the preacher man says...
Those of you having pre marital sex...and i frooze..
i am hoping her attention is elsewhere
but that has to be a magic cos there is nothing to distract her...
of course she re echoes...
'Those of you having pre marital sex..'
and then she laughs...and i wonder what she knows
or why she laughed...
next thing i hear...
mummy what is premarital sex...
i cough my way to the bathroom with the excuse i want to weewee....
Okay mummy...
But seriously its about that time to talk sex...
she isnt even 4 yet...i thought...
but this is what i found out...enjoy it...




Why is talking about sex important?

Children will learn about sex whether or not you want them to. Children and young people learn about sex from each other and what gets passed on in the playground may not be accurate, or what parents want them to hear.
You have an important role, as their parent, in making sure your child has the right information.

When should I start?

It's best to start talking to your children about sex and growing up at an early age. They will often ask where babies come from when they're very young.
Puberty can start as early as eight for girls and boys may also have wet dreams or erections when they are very young, so it's important that your children are prepared.
Children need this information before they start to experience bodily changes. If they don't have it they may be worried or afraid.
You might feel that by discussing sex you'll encourage your children to start having sex. But research shows that teenagers from families where parents talk frankly about sex wait until they're older before they start having sex, and when they do have sex for the first time they're more likely to use contraceptives.

What if I don't talk to my children about sex?

Not talking about sex can affect how young people feel and behave about sex for the rest of their lives. If you don't talk to your child, they may think that sex is scary or embarrassing.
The UK has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in Europe and sexually transmitted infections are increasing among young people. Giving your children support, information and help to feel good about themselves can lessen the chances of both.

 hmmmnnn...let me ponder on this tonight...we shall continue tommorrw.

Have you ever had to talk to a child about sex though? what age is right...

Before you answer let me just say...

talk is cheap...and yea...its easier said than done ooo

One love people...
