Sex Education
by The role of everyone in the bring up of a child both morally and otherwise.
This is a hydra –headed discourse, without any definable paradigm, which is responsible for most societal moral upheavals, giving educationists and sociologists a Herculean task to contend with.
The mind of babies at birth are “tabular void” that’s there is no encoded information in the mind of a newly born as such knowledge for all a child needs is acquired through education that includes sex education. The quality of this education is determined by a child’s environment.
The debate has been on how, when and who is responsible for a child’s sex education. How will this information be passed-with innuendo, euphemistic courage or direct to the fact approach? When do we start educating a child, at what age, five, ten, twelve or adolescence? Who should be responsible for sex education- parents, schoolteacher, mass media, or the person next door? This has been the point of controversy for a while.
In this discourse, I will discuss some practical rudiments associated with sex education of child. This article focuses on the aforementioned-how, when, and who to navigate through this discourse for an adequate comprehension.
CHILD’S ENVIRONMENT
To a good proportion, a man is the product of his environment- societal mores (customs and conventions) is a particular society dictates what worldview adopted by all in that environment, and the quality of such cultural nuances determines what a person in such environment turns out to be.
Before I examine how, when and who concepts as stated above I will explain the environments available to a child. I will use these terms to illustrate my views –primary environment, secondary environment and tertiary environment these stages of child’s environment have Proportional effects to its development.
PRIMARY ENVIORNEMNT
This is the first and immediate space a child interacts with. It’s the most effective environment for education. This space is occupied by parents (mother, father) and other members of the nuclear family (brother and sister). This is most trusted and believed environment to a child-information is received without reservations or questioning. Also, is the most loved environment and remains most loved, if all goes well. But in the contrary, it becomes most despised and hated environment, that accounts for early leave of most children from home and never return but stays and loved the street stead.
