|||The best way is to talk to children directly about sex when they start learning the reproduction process in the Biology lessons in their school or when they knowingly / unknowingly express their slightest knowledge of sexual activity.
This should be followed up time to time by a very friendly and direct approach by parents discussing the practical side of the consequences, the attached responsibility, what to expect from sex and how to protect themselves from STDs and AIDS. Parents should not wait till children ask questions related to safety and health, as by the time the question is asked a damage may possibly have been done without anybodys knowledge. In fact this should be considered the first priority on awareness.
The discussions should include the pleasure side of sex and how to enjoy responsibly keeping in mind the attached sentiments of partners which can have diasastrous long term psychological consequences if not understood properly.
Many children are exposed to myths and perversions attached to sexual activity from various circles. Care should be taken to dispose of these beliefs.
Most importantly children should be made very much aware of how they should protect themselves from paedophiles and other sexual predators.
The parents should be upto date about sex from the teenagers perspective in current times, so that the level of confidence of the children on the preachings is not damaged by an outdated knowledge of sex.
The internet is a big resource for getting information. The parents should refer to sites like Wikipedia, Youtube, Google with relevant searches. To be very candid sometimes parents awareness of sexual websites (porn) also helps in seeing what the children see in secret and helps keep a track and handle situations if the children are misguided by wrong information.|||It has been seen that many physical changes take place from the age 12 to 17. During this age children might not understand these changes and fall into trouble because of their excitement about knowing everything about sex. So, this is the perfect time to educate them about physical changes but not sex and relationship. And convey the message to them after doing lots of research as they can misuse the information due to carelessness. Try to attract their attention to religious activities for the purities of their mind. And please do not talk much about sex to them
Gopal|||we can educate children about sex in our home only.According to me parents are the best trainers who can educate children about sex.
1st step-let children known the body parts of their own
2nd step-let children known the body parts of each-other
3rd step-children should be allowed to be naked in their homes till 8 yrs
4th step-they should be taught that how body grows specially sex organs
5th step-they should be allowed to talk about sex openly
6th step-they should be taught that sex is nothing but a body need
7th step-most importantly they should have enough freedom
these are the steps through which you can educate children about sex.|||to educate the childern about sex, 1; the age of the child shold beabout 12 to 14 as the adolescet period in full swing.we cannot use the direct example. At this age the childern are attending school and learning the sciences specilly biology. while explainig the process of fertilization,the organs taking part in fertilization we can easily explain the sex organ,its function and the ways and effects of the whole process. 2. the educational cds then can be used and can be easily explained the good and bad effects of wrong use of the education.|||I think children should be left alone. Todays kids can teach you more than you know or any reference materials can teach, as they are more exposed to curiosity and exploration among themelves and their friend circles. If you notice the information exchange and learning involved [ apart from academics ;) ] in the present generaion kids are too much paced up!! So keep the cool and leave them alone and anyways it's taught in school now a days. In case you are confronted with a question and if you are not comfortable answering then you can say that they will learn about it in the academics later.|||The depth of Sex education should parallel the age of the children. Normally it should start at around 12 years for girls and 14 years for boys and then with their increasing maturity the subject should be slowly introduced to them.
The way the education should be imparted is mostly through class room teaching and partially by the parents at home. Sex of animal kingdom should be taught first and then we can come slowly to human sex. Being a teacher I explain little bit of the physiology in the B.S 1st year class. I have found if explained as a matter of teaching, childrens take up the things easily.
Dr. Manash K. Paul|||The best age according to my experience - onset of maturity in girls after 10 and boys at about 16 years when they start reaching adulthood. Girls will know when they get menstrual fluid and in boys when they feel their first ejaculation of seminal fluid.
Till such time, they will not understand sexual instinct.
They can be made to known different body structure of Males and Females through anatomical charts. You can also take the help of medical professionals such as Auxiliary Nurse Midwife to start with, who are trained in such subjects. Anatomy
Along with teaching sex, the boys and girls shall be made to know simple rules with regard to premature sexual contacts viz., attempting to sexual relationship when they are minors which leads to legal action against them.
The meaning of anatomy is very important and both boys and girls including untrained parents shall be made to know, which is as follows:
Human anatomy, including gross human anatomy and histology, is primarily the scientific study of the morphology of the adult human body.[1]
Generally, students of certain biological sciences, paramedics, physiotherapists, nurses and medical students learn gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy from anatomical models, skeletons, textbooks, diagrams, photographs, lectures and tutorials. The study of microscopic anatomy (or histology) can be aided by practical experience examining histological preparations (or slides) under a microscope; and in addition, medical students generally also learn gross anatomy with practical experience of dissection and inspection of cadavers (dead human bodies).
Human anatomy, physiology and biochemistry are complementary basic medical sciences, which are generally taught to medical students in their first year at medical school. Human anatomy can be taught regionally or systemically;[1] that is, respectively, studying anatomy by bodily regions such as the head and chest, or studying by specific systems, such as the nervous or respiratory systems. The major anatomy textbook, Gray's Anatomy, has recently been reorganized from a systems format to a regional format,[2][3] in line with modern teaching methods. A thorough working knowledge of anatomy is required by all medical doctors, especially surgeons, and doctors working in some diagnostic specialities, such as histopathology and radiology.
Academic human anatomists are usually employed by universities, medical schools or teaching hospitals. They are often involved in teaching anatomy, and research into certain systems, organs, tissues or cells.|||I am a father of 13 year boy, I never discourage him asking me any question relating to sex considering a child most curious most enthusiastiac in the world. If We parents donot anwer his questions properly or discourage him whatever source he will be looking for may not be a trusted one and may give them half or false information only.
Further I have noticed that the child himself maintain a distance and if he thinks the matter is not upto his standard or the same should be imparted knowledge at later stage , they themselve maintain distace.
|||Sex education is the must whether they are indians or foreigner.
you can just guide them the right and the wrong. And make sure that the person may look differed, but as a human both are one and the same having same emotional feelings, ego, character wise. should explain them clearly without confusing and not making them curiously involve or deviate them to sexual desires.
Now media and net plays a major role in teaching wrong things to adolescense so it is the better age to teach them. ||| sex education is importent to taught for childrens.best age to begin talking to children about sex is when they are entering in to the puberty.between 14 to 15 age of childrens.i that age only some hormones take place in the body.teachers and as well as parents can teach about sex.means what is sex ,what are the side effects of sex like veneral diseases like aids,syphilis,gonnorrrohea and some other urinary tract infections,and also teach what is safe sex,and how to clean body parts,before and after micturation r urination .some books also help to educate about sex for childrens.|||parents should be open-minded for that matter. their kids should feel that their parents are saying that without any awkward feelings and discuss the issues like premarital sex, HIV, or anything that could happen after sex. however, parents should set their mind that they are talking to kids, not to ages like 17-above.
for the age: 12 year old kids is the best age to know about sex education.|||sex education is compulsory for children but in india it is not so simple for parents to teach their children about sex frankly. so i think first of all parents have to teach their children about the side effects of sex like it causes ADIS and many more disease. In the age of 8-10 children have many questions about the sex because they saw movies, even in cartoon there are some sex scene and they get more consious about the these thing they see. There is a simple way to teach children about sex when they ask about sex parent have to understand then and give a satisfactory answer to them. teach them about sex organs. But it is so diffcult in india and also take a long time because of the low rate of education. |||Actually all children are not having same kind of thinking all are different individuals, some are inquisitive natured ask many questions in such cases, instead of discussing this matter by their parents, it is always better parents say to the children to ask their teacher who teaches Biology. The best way is to talk to children directly about sex when they start learning the reproduction process in the Biology lessons in their school, they take it as subjects for learning and won't ask more questions and get confused and try to put it in practical. |||All of the answers are good, I dont know how you'll choose the best cuz all of them are good however Parents are the best teacher for the kids on this sensitive topic. Also there are alot of books to start with, I suggest parents buy these books once the kid is tween and once they become a teenager then you approach it slowly, cuz they will be learning in school at that time anyway........I know it's hard for parents to open up, but dont lie to your kids, give the an answer as close as possible to their question. Barnes %26amp; Nobles, Borders..book store. I would say before the age of 18 cuz you want them to understand the pros and cons of sex so they can make sound decision when the time comes.|||I was been taught about the whole sexual activities and its safeties in 8th std in school
today thats the problem in the indian society that sex is considered as taboo
if the child is mature enough at the age of 13 or14 you can speak to him frankly
PTA meetings should be conducted in schools to carry about the issue of sex education
Sex education must be carried in schools according to me |||My mom was a Lamaze teacher. She had posters. She gave me the talk when i was around 6 or 7 years old. I didn't understand everything, but it was the best thing she could have done for me. When I was seven, I decided that I was going to stay a virgin until I was married, and I did so. I had values about sex early, so they lasted.
When I got my first serious boyfriend, she told me that she would take me to get birth control if I needed it, no questions asked. Though she did suggest that I think really hard before I make that decision. Needless to say, I never needed birth control pills because, in my mind, sex wasn't an option.
Also, I was never afraid to talk to my mother about anything. Everything was open for discussion.
You are the best resource for your children. Sex isn't a one time talk. It is an open, lasting discussion.
|||There's a great book by Deborah Roffman called Sex and Sensibility: The Thinking Parent's Guide to Talking Sense About Sex. Here's a blurb from the site... "Sex %26amp; Sensibility attempts to help us reshape the ways in which we deal with our children, from toddlers to 20-year-olds, with respect to sex and sexuality. It offers ways to see, ways to listen, and ways to talk and behave so that our children learn how to make wise and happy choices about all things sexual. "|||Sex education is a value based ,very sensitive issue. it should be handled very cautiously as one slip will lead to wrong direction.the wrong signal and the wrong path can not be reverted if not done the way it is to be done.
It should start at home by Mother to Daughter and Father to son. First it should start with HYGIENE.slowly more deep topic like the changes in the sex organ. growth ,puberty and attraction,reproduction,safety measures.Periods in gals and nocturnal emission which is called "night Fall" in guys. selfexamination of ones body and changes they have. this way it should start with proper care.
If done with proper care, no harm can come in the future.|||Providing Sex education is vital and although it is supposedly banned in many developing countries,It has to be given.
Because the privilege of the teacher to empower the students with this knowledge is curbed Parents are the next best ones to take up the responsibility and they should do a good job Good enough to solve their child s doubts no matter how silly absurd stupid or dirty the doubt is.
In my opinon children should get sex education just before they hit puberty.That way they will accept the changes as normal and be less frightened of them.Also something that needs to be taught to very young children like age 8 is the difference between a GOOD TOUCH and a BAD TOUCH using dolls or playthings to substitute.And they have to be trusted. |||the best way to teach about sex children is only possible through parents. when a girl child is protected or she is being against by her parents for doing any activity ,first the child should know the reason. for this the mother has to explain the entire problem she is going to face and the situations arises for her. in present days, children are well enough to understand the problems and have enough maturity. the thing is the child should not get distrub about the parental advice.
samething for the boy child also.... friendly advice and smooth restrictions towards their activities can heal this situation.
for this the children should allow to read newspaper and watch good programs in channel.
we ourself should talk openely to them and ask their opinion about the
channels which is telecasting bad movies, pictures.
they should be given a traditional approach of family atmosphere so that the child can feel about their culture.|||i think its should be the age of primary education at the age on 13th year when they get any king of queary regarding the sex in his / her mind they should be clear with a very positive attitude along with his mom and dad they should take a very easy session on that if you are treating those like yours friend is will be the best time for her / him .
In this stage they got so many unusual question in his / her mind but ther face that you should face all this question as a good listner and very good mood also

- Memories -or- The Boat|||there is no age bar, the best time to start is the day when your child starts asking questions about sexuality may not directly but several questions like why xyz got married? how children are born etc never ever say that they would understand those things when they grow up.
and what to tell is one more importent thing, many of them think sex education means telling kids how to have sex and orgasams etc it is not that.
many children end up haveing sex at earlier age out of curiosity so tell them what it is, and also talk about sexual abuse any myths they have then tell somethinglike this sex is a union of male and female and why is it importent.and why one should not think about it when they are young (tell the kids that it hinders there daily sports or what ever they love and also problams associated with it like sexually transmitted diseases and how it can ruian their life) and for example
and lastly ask them to ask you about any doubts they may have and not their friends.
even if they tell you that they are attarcted to boy or girl, dont get angry or tell them that it is just a infactuation (but it is real for these kids it will not help them understand they would think you dont understnad them and they look elsewhere for answers) but ask them some questions why do they like that boy or girl, or you can ask them are you going to live with this one guy/girl for comming 60yrs?
asking such questions make them "think" and make the right desicion themselves and most importently give them some time to make the desicion, after all you are not going to be there with them for ever, duering this period moniter them,(does not mean follow them and start monitering their calls like FBI but just be cautious about where are they going whom are they meating etc, ask them how far she/he is going in there attraction,any problams in the relationship etc, take the right movement to discourage the relationship softly .
if you give time your kid would never get into any problams
best of luck
|||I can share what i did with my son, now aged 18. (I am his father)
when he was of the age of 7/8 years, I gave him educational books like know your body. AND DISCUSSED WITH HIM ABOUT OUR BODY.
Gradually he was shown other similar books on child birth suitable for his age group.AND DISCUSSED WITH HIM ABOUT OUR BODY.
By 12/14, he had a fair idea of what is reproductive system, foetus, egg, sperm, aids.
Now, at the age of 18, probably he can understand other adult books. |||The parents play a major role in the sex education of their children
now a days children's have lessons about sex (in school) the best age to start sex education was 13 .todays children's was ignoring
everything .they will ask u what is sex at that time u have to explain it to them if u scold them they will have a tendency to seek from other places|||if ur cchild is age of 15 years the school teachers will deail a topic about AIDS in tht topic ur child will get full knoweldge or else ur teach them abt AIDS beco the sex is very important subject which taught to our children so tht thy never undergo with sex in the very small age like 18-25 so its good to teach them theier ia a procedure to teach tht in tht procuder shld be taught to a child ok |||i guess the best way for a child to know about sex is thru their own parents.. if parents are open about sex educcation then there is no need for schools or forums to help educate children bout sex... if the parents are too strict about sex then children can learn via a more sophisticated learning pattern in schools where they can explain bout sex whilst explaining the process of child birth.|||i think that a teacher know enough about the students whom he or she is teaching and especially girls who are too shy about their physical changes but may expose their feelings and questions towards their teachers to whom they like as a friend. This is the best way to talk with them about sex and its necessity and how to escape from its bad consequences.|||The difficult thing should be made to easy one, its realy difficult
to educate the child on sex of age 14 and above so to make it easy one should narret/ make some story of it in which you should be able to
tell about sex ,related facts, good things , bad things to make them
awear of dengers|||My answer is, sex is not a subject to teach, growing children who is having commonsense can understood all about this from thier surrounding enviornment, that is enough, after the theory class how they can practice it ?, give good advices to the children, allowe them grow with God fearing, that is nice, no need of teory, practical, examination or certificate to sex.
