Sex education is the most sensitive topic to bring up in most families, most parents try to teach their children about all aspects of life but shy away from sex talk

Are they shy? Or they don’t have self-esteem?

The other day with my siblings, we were having a normal talk then this question came up ” what is the right age to bring up the issue of sex, to enlighten your children about their sex life.

And my opinion was that sex education should be taught to any child at their puberty stage; when they begin experiencing new body changes and hormonal changes. During the stage of puberty, their breast popping up, hair on their armpit and private area, for boys they begin producing semen.

And we know that all this has a psychological and mental effect on our children and they have lots of questions to ask about their bodies and how they feel. In most cases, girls have increase in their urge for sex during their mensural period, you see where sex education comes in use.

What if these girls aren’t taught about sex education, what will be their fate?

Am urging mothers to come closer to their teenagers during this time and teach them to understand, care and control their feeling during those times. And maybe teach them about sex, contraception, birth controls. And I know this will help in controlling the early childbearing, sexually transmitted infections, emotional trauma and lots more

So I will like to know how you wonderful parents out there how you introduce this topic to your teenagers and how are they coping with their sexual life

Thank you!!
