When it comes to topics such as sex, parents step in to talk to their children. At worst, they avoid their questions and wait for the child to reach at least the teens to talk to them.
Anyway, we're here to change that! Parenting experts suggest that children should be educated with information about sex starting at age 2.
Most parents wait for their children to become 8, 9, 13 or 16 years old and then answer the questions they are curious about. In fact, this conversation should take place when the child is 2 years old. Conversation does not mean long lectures, but at least they should be familiar with the basic terms.
Experts say children feel more comfortable talking about sex as they get older, if these conversations are made quite naturally early on.
In the beginning conversations, you can teach children to speak in correct terms about their body parts rather than using the epithets we hear commonly.
Using a term such as vagina or penis since the baby is young is much better for the parent-child relationship going on. That's because your baby will be able to discuss everything with you tomorrow!
Additionally, keep in mind: Whenever children ask a question, parents should return it with the question, "Tell me what you know about it."
This, to find out his / her idea of the issue at hand. So parents allow them to express and talk about any ambiguity in their head.
