Sex Education Begins at Home
by I’m sixteen and a boy of ten years.
They ask questions about sex and AIDS.
How do I answer without overwhelming them?
Talking about sex and disease in a way that will inform and calm which is important in today’s world.
Enjoy the many resources available to you.
Special brochures are available from the Centers for Disease Control (800-342-AIDS, or a Spanish version of the 800-344 and AIDS for the hearing impaired 800-AIDS-TTY) for children and adolescents, and adults.
If your child asks about sex or illness, be informal and give you a precise answer to a level that will understand.
Use appropriate language and start speaking of the first problems in the life of a child. Talk PMS menstruation, condoms and circumcision in the eyes of their children. If they feel safe, I wonder what these words mean, and explain briefly, by age. As long as you would like more information, you are asked if the discussion is a simple task to you.
Do not make threats.
They give children and adolescents due to rebel or to keep your questions.
If your child seems interested, do not push.
It can not be a good time for them, or they may feel comfortable with yourself or your subject. Let them know you are available if you want to talk about anything.
If you are embarrassed, say so.
You know, and see your shame, why hide it? Say something like “do not talk much about it when I was your age, so it’s a bit difficult for me to speak now. But I want you to know the facts so that you will agree with my shame. Let me tell you what I know, and you can find more information about it all, for more ….”
Be understanding.
If more than listen to your children about sex, you should bring something to read facts and images appropriate to their age. Tell them that you would be happy to discuss what they want, but do not force them to listen to a monologue that does not want to hear. You may be the last person who wants to talk about sex. It’s great because they get accurate information somewhere. If in doubt, ask other parents, school or church leader on sex education for children.
Find sources of information that meets the needs and prepare for the development of your child or adolescent.
Learn everything you can and tell your child or teenager to read because I want to talk. Another resource may be your local health department, the local library, the local school district or church. Videos, books, pamphlets and classes on sex education for young people, is still available in most communities on the mark. So when you are alone with the child or youth, and other display hardware and do what they thought.
Be sure to review the documents.
Different sources have different approaches, based on?different values. For example, some advocates of total abstinence from sexual activity before marriage, and some suggest that condoms and actually show you how to use them. Explanations on how to use condoms, the graphics to a certain extent. Some of the most detailed how to use condoms, shows how to roll a finger to someone or a banana.
Suppose your child develops a sexual couple years ahead of you.
