The Right Age For Sex Education

Why is sex education any different to all of the other things you tell your children?

You teach them to follow Road Safety rules, not to get burned in the kitchen, play with matches, do things like climbing ladders safely, behave at meal times, not to steal, not to throw stones at windows etc. etc.

So why do you not talk to your children honestly about sex and their bodies as they grow up, so that when difficult questions arise, you have at least done the ground work.

We all dock awkward questions. I know I did.

But for the sake of our children and in my case grand-children we must educate our children in all matters properly and answer those questions.
