Schools provide some information on sex issues as part of their syllabi, but the role of guardians in teaching their children cannot be overlooked. Sex education for parents would help guardians confirm the information children get from schools regarding sex. Most children are comfortable asking their guardians questions they would not like to ask in class.
It has been established through a study that children who become sexually active early are usually from homes where sex is not talked about with them. This is because children believe any information they get from their parents than from any other source. Teachings on issues relating to human sexuality is only mentioned a few times, but guardians have the opportunity to provide continuous information anytime the child does ask.
The school should give their children all the information they need on any issue including sex. The schools are reluctant to bring up the issue. Most fathers shy away from the sex discussion, especially with their female children. It is not a good thing to give information with a lot of ambiguity. Mothers talk more, but have difficulty explaining things to boys. Some societies and religions discourage talking about sex. Parents falling in these societies may never bring the issue up.
Preparation is the key in providing accurate and timely sex education. Guardians need to have their facts ready before their children are of age to ask questions. They can get a lot of information by reading parental guides on the issue. The internet is a great source for guidelines that can be of help.
Sex education should start very early in the life of the child and should continue throughout their life. This would help the child not to forget what they have been taught. The parents should plan to give the information to their child in bits rather than all the information at a goal. It is also more helpful if the process is in the form of a discussion. Children can comfortably ask questions without it bothering them.
Openness and honesty on the parent's part is very important. Parents should be able to provide information that is direct and concise with no ambiguity. Children would always ask why they are being told to do or not to do something. This applies to sex education as well. The guardians should be able to answer all those questions. When the guardians are not be able to provide answers to a question posed by their child immediately; the child should be made aware. The guardians should make an effort to obtain the answer in the shortest time.
Most guardians may reschedule sex education for their children. The times to bring up the discussion could be when they believe the child has an issue, which they may not want to talk about. Some children may also come asking questions about things they heard from their friends or saw on television.
Parents may also discuss sex when they suspect the child has related issues, but may not want to talk about it. Children get information on sex from a variety of sources, and it is up to the guardians to show them which is correct.
