Proper Education

We commend you on your openness about this matter and your willingness to guide your child through it. it is a subject every parent must deal with –sexual maturation is inevitable, after all, and all young people will eventually develop sexually. Curiosity for sex is a natural part of growing up. But although sexual drive may be inherent, sexual behaviour is learned and not innate. This is where proper education comes in. Our youth need access to accurate and no-nonsense information about sex.

Not providing such information may only lead to incomplete –or worse, inaccurate –information. Crating an open environment that will allow our youth to ask questions from us also works to everyone’s advantage. As children reach puberty, their bodies begin to mature. This may be the best time to impart to them that sexual maturity needs to be accompanied with a more mature sense of responsibility. Having a sense of responsibility is really something that needs to be taught at a very early age.
