I don’t think there should be a set age. Every child is different and often they will talk about it when you don’t expect it. For example, a friend of mine was having dinner with her husband and their son. He said to his dad, I want to be a father but I am not sure I want to pee inside of a woman. He was only six years old.
Never avoid a "teachable moment." Dive in and offer accurate information whenever your child enters anywhere near the topic of sex. Don't wait for the point-blank question to be asked.
Keep your answer confined to what is asked and name all the body parts at an early stage in your child's language development.
If you talk about sexual matters from the beginning of a child's use of language, there never needs to be the big "birds and bees talk." It's just a series of small conversations spread out over many years. You, as the parent, become the obvious go-to person whenever there's a question.
My mother taught me at 11, but I had started puberty at 7 so I was physically mature, so she thought that I needed to be taught young. She even decided it was best to buy some condoms so I could learn how to use them. You know, put them on a cucumber, etc. I guess it was good because I started thinking about sex at that time. I ended up losing my virginity at 13.
Thank god you’re being reasonable. I’d say there’s probably not a time that’s too early but there will be a time when it’s too late. I’d say address the “facts of life” at about 9-10ish, really basic things like puberty and where babies come from. The puberty one is super important at that age because some girls get their periods super young, around 9 or 10 so that will help them out. In terms of practical, this is a condom, type stuff, 14 is about perfect because it’s around the time they’ll start encountering these things and know what they’ll need to do as they get older.
In the UK, we have compulsory sex education from 11 years old. At a young age, there's more of a focus on puberty and the changes that happen in the body but they do still learn about STIs and pregnancy and to be careful and all that stuff and I think that it's good. Our age of consent is 16 so it means people get 5 years of sex ed before they reach legal age.
That's really good every country should work in this
I think as early as possible will be better because this will both prevent them from doing it randomly and also prevent from getting unwanted consequences... If they know what can happen if they do it, the risks at young age and also the responsibilities, I think also it will help them choose their partner better... 🤔 Around the 14 year...
Do you know you'll be a great mom one day😘
Not greater than the father 😘😘😘
I’d say even a little earlier than 14-16. Maybe like 11-13 I’d say

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!I would talk to them more about protection around 15, because that's typically when people in high school tend to "experiment" more
As early as humanly possible where they can understand. Some kids are much brighter and mature than others.. recognize that and sit them down when that brightness appears.
when they get their first menstruation/wet dream
