SEX EDUCATION for children!!?
Answers:
HELL NO!! im all for education and forward thinking but 8 is WAY too young--what happened to just being a kid and not having to worry about all that stuff--we started sex ed at 12 i think and that was kind of young i think--but i see the value in starting at 12--what purpose would starting at 8 have? absolutley none...
yes!definitely!our world today is full of violence and everything negative thats why we need to arm our children with the right knowledge of course so it wont be too late before they got raped or abused.
i think that children should know about sex only as with all the child abuse etc going on now a days the children will know that it is ok to tell when someone touches them this way (hope this makes sence)
Well,it is important to talk of the birds and the bees when tehy are young.Then they will learn to avoid predators like those peadophiles.They will learn to avoid all those unwanted crisis when they are young:)
8 years old is rather old for *starting* sex education. I think it should be done by the parents, not public institutions like schools, but it has to start long before age 8!
When you *start* sex education (for example with a 2-3 year old), you introduce simple ideas like babies grow inside their mothers. Even if you don't teach your kids this, they will learn it. So there goes the "innocence" anyway!
But when girls are often starting to develop at age 9, when do you think sex education should start--at age 20? After they're married? Do you want your daughter to be the one who runs out of gym screaming to the school nurse one day because there is blood leaking out a place that her parents refuse to talk about?!
yes. unless the have never seen a t.v. or went out of ther house, thay [95% or so that is] know the 1st part of it, a.k.a. the sex part.
no i think so dat 8 yrs is 2 yung 4 a child 2 kno bout sex. according 2 me a child shud b givn sex education at their puberty time say bout 12-13 yrs of age.
yes definitely
i guess 6-7 is the right age, depends on their understanding
These days explaining sex to your child has to be done early because there is so much violence in the world. I haven't yet had to attempt this talk with our 7 year old but it is coming soon. I guess they think that the more children know now the better armed they will be if they are in a terrible situation. The way the world is going we as parents have no choice but to tell children what we know. Although i would be waiting until they ask. I think it is a good idea. Either way they are going to find out before they are 10. My 7 year old step daughter came home from school and told my partner and i exactly how babies are made. She got it all from the kids at school. If they don't hear it from you it will come from the other children or the teachers. Which one would you prefer? I would prefer they come to me with their questions.
8 yrs.is too late.sex ed. should be given from the day a child is born.a child starts breathing,eating etc. from the very 1st day.even the sex life of a child starts from the very 1st day.i m not saying that child starts doing sex from the 1st day.i mean the child can know wat r the body parts he/she has,and this can be known after 1 or 2 yrs.
whoever said that children should b sex educated is a pure child molester , pervert, good 4 nothing man or woman.
i think it's up to the parents.if they're too lazy to teach their kids about their bodies, then maybe i guess they would have to learn it somewhere else, and what better place then school, right?
i still think it's the parent's responsibility.and i also think that 8 is a little.young.
they should wait until at least most of the girls start getting their cycles.what's that about 11, 12 years old.
yes!definitely
yes because the will learn it from someone else and that someone might not have the right info. I learned about sex when i was 5.
i started getting my period when i was 9. i was in the 4th grade. i wasnt the only one in my class either. but we didnt do sex education till the next year. i think it is naive to try to sheild kids from sex education untill they are 12 b/c not every child goes through puberty at this time.
