The 21st century generation is one generation that is so fast paced, which is why the children of this era needs to be catch young because of how they learn so fast, even about things that were usually sacred in the past times. By this I mean that children being exposed to sex education very early in their lives and ages is one vital steps we need to do in this times.

Children getting early exposure to all that concerns sex is a way to create awareness for them to know the very parts of their body that they should not allow anyone to touch careless, and on how sensitive it is, including the dangers that are involved.

Although, we know that sex is one big conversation that should not be discussed or talked about carelessly, but that should be in the generations that are past, when things are still in place without social media, advancement of technology and how the boom 💥 of innovation keeps creating things in the open without restrictions. Or should we say those years were years when things like sex are seen as so sacred that you dare not mention it in the public, because we saw that while growing up. You dare not mention sex in public or even among your peers.

But this era is an era where there are some sensitive matters or conversations we can not shy ☺️ away from, which is “SEX EDUCATION”. An awareness that we as parents, teachers, guardians must properly educate the children on, creating the insight they need to know about sex as they keep growing as children due to how the world 🌍 is today.

My mother then only always makes sure to tell her girl children to be careful with who we move with, where we visit and how long we stay in our girlfriends place, especially if she sees some fast moves from any of them. And again, she will always advise us on how our education is very immune for our future, so indirectly telling us to focus on our education for a better future. She will never mention “sex” but we gradually was catching up because of the little way we understand sex education then.

I made sure to start teaching my kids sex education at a very tender age of 5, and since they were both girls 👧, I told the dangers involved in allowing anyone to touch their private part. I told them that anyone who tries to touch their private parts is trying to molest them , which they need to shout at the person and must report to us their parents. Its was an awareness of alert towards the dangers children faces I told them which is why they should not
joke with it.

And thanks to God, as they were growing, “Sex Education” was among the important subjects in their schools curriculum through Biology where detailed awareness is created through how mammals gets pregnant, and how girl children are not supposed to allow any boy child to touch their private parts. In fact, we usually will discuss it over their homework 📚 in details.

We should be more guarded in this times because our children are more wiser. The internet is messing with lots of children 👧, so its in the hands of the parents to keep an early tracking, making sure to voice out the dangers involved. So we should not shy away from this crucial issue as to protect our children and others from the dangers they might face if they lack awareness about “Sex Education”.
