    Not a parent here, but dear god, please talk to your kids about sex as soon as possible 🙏

    There are age appropriate terms to use, but essentially children should know about it for so many reasons.

    • This can help them identify inappropriate behavior from peers and from adults
    • It teaches them and prepares them for the real world in a healthy way
    • It mitigates any future awkwardness that can lead to poor sexual education
    • Reduces the risks associated with sex as they will already be aware of the critical information by the age that they do start exploring
    • You would be shocked at how early on children will do sexual actions out of innocent curiosity and self pleasure, this can be okay if they are taught about what is acceptable and what is not.
    • Gives them a good foundation for a healthy understanding of sex and their own bodies
