telling your child about sex is one f the most difficult part of parenting. A child’s first escapade with sex does not happen with puberty, it starts as early as pre-school years. Well when is the right time to tell our children about sex or should we wait for them to ask us is the most common dilemma that most parents come across.
Parents of children in the age group of 1 to 7 years need to understand that since children learn by imitation, they need to see them having a positive concept about hugging and kissing. They will imitate what ever they see, so please let your child sleep separately, especially when you and your partner are indulging in sexual activity. A positive concept abut genitals should also be taught. You should not make them feel that genitals are dirt and something that hey should be ashamed about. Girls should be taught to sit properly without showing their panties and in the same way boys should be taught about not touching their private parts.
As a parent it is a duty to keep a child safe from sexual abuse. It is important for them to teach them about good touch and bad touch. It is important for us to teach them that a child should not allow anybody to touch their private parts. It is only mummy and daddy who can touch it when they are cleaning them up. If any body else touches their genitals it is important to let mummy know about it
