Greetings!
There are things that must be taught to our kids no matter how rough or dirty these things might be, we must not think about them, I mean the kids are not worthy to be taught or know about it as they might become victims of these things if care is not taken. So for them not to be a victim of life, they must have the knowledge of some certain things in which sexual education is the most important part of it.
Having said this, I would like to delve into the topic of the prompt before me in the Hive learners community which is all about, “Sex education.”
Without educating our kids as and when due, there is no doubt about them becoming of sexual abuse. Before I go further, one thing that I want us to know is that anybody can be sexually abused, either male or female. We should all forget about the general belief that it's only the female gender that can be sexually abused.
That's by the way, let me go into the discussion proper. One of the responsibility of parents is to educate their children and teach them in the right way to follow, but nowadays, the reverse is the case as kids are not be taught what they are supposed to know, but one thing I would like to say here is that, as parents, we must endeavour to toll a new path and teach our children about sex education when they are still young and can be controlled, I mean at the tender age of their lives, when they can still listen to us.
The reason for my take on the above paragraph is that, a time would come when it would be hard for parents to influence the decision of their kids and if parents should wait till this time, then those that are out there, the wolves would have devour our kids just because they lack what we call, sex education.
One of the ways to go about this is to care for them and show them the kind of love no one would be able to show them out there. Tell them sweet words and when they are familiar with such words as, you are the most beautiful or handsome person I have ever seen, I love you and so on, no one would be able to deceive when they are not with us.
Also, we talk to them when they can still hear us about the danger associated with pre marital sex and if they had known this through us, they would be able to guide against such an act that can destabilize their future.
All these must be done in love and aside from this, we must also make ourselves available for them as their best friends and confidant, with this, we would be able to get from them the needed information about their sexual life and be their guardian till they would be able to overcome the temptations that comes with pre marital sex.
In conclusion, kids should be taught sexual education when they can still be influenced and controlled by their parents.
This is my entry to week 227, episode 01 of the weekly featured contest in the Hive learners community.
