sexual education?!

Do you think it's 'normal' for children under the age of 10 to learn such things in school, or even kindergarten 😖?
Plz debate (I, for one, think it's wrong, they're too young)....

yes its too young but theses day children as young as that are 'getting it on' with disasterous consiquences

I don't think it's too young.. as long as it's teached with prefesionality it's alright

but peopel that age really haVe only just learnt the alphabet and they are meant to now the details of sex

no not the details, and it's not like I say teach it at kindergardens but like when they're 7, and not give any details until a certain age of course, but just that for a baby to exist a man has to get together with a woman 😬

everything depends what do you understand by sexual education
for example generl explanation that boy s and girls are different is ok, even for young children
but techinques(sp) on how to make children is unproper

lady

they taught us about it in fourth grade!

if they are taught it at an early age, then they will have sex at an early age. there was this one little 8 year old who wanted to have sex and his mom didnt know about it. so be careful...

from experience , i know its best for you to be open to answering these questions as they ask them. not wait till a so called 'right' age to answer them. however you dont go into detail with a 5 year old on how reproduction is accomplished either...there are ways of giving them age appropriate as needed information to satisfy them till they get a little older and want want more info. at the kindergarten level im not sure it should be taught in school. it should come from mommies and daddies at that age.

but i know this, if it is being taught in a school somewhere that young, the parents are signing the permission form in order for their child to be taught the info and on the form it will have the content to the lesson being taught. so obviously its 'normal' to them.

i just always knew about pregnancy, but i never knew how it happened.

But it is not good for a child to live in a lie...

It is the same as lying for the benefit of the child.. which is better? safety or lying?? hmm...

well, I don't think we need to teach ten year olds about sex. But by the time they're 12 or 13, we need to start letting them know about it. And not just that sex is a fact of life, but that people are not defined by sex.

By that age they already know about it.

how about gays? Are they advicable to take lessons?

I think not!!

Well really young children that are about 5 or so are always curious about where babies come from and all that and you should tell them about sex but just like vaguely (sp?) not the full thing of it. Then when youre about 9 or 10 you start to just hear things about sex and realise like what it is and then you get taught about it when you're like 12 over here but by that time you already know what it is anyway. And what you said about lying peterKSL, well parents lie about santa claus hahaha so ya know, but i dont think they should lie i just think they should briefly say what it is and where babies come from and then get taught more about it when they're about 12.

My mum used to tell me that you asked God for one and then it came into your belly so that it was warm.

i told my daughters when they asked where babies came from that a special seed that only makes babies is planted inside of mommies baby pouch. in my opinion, it was age appropriate and they didnt ask anymore questions till they got older. except for my daughter josephine who is now 7. she wanted to go to Wal-Mart to buy some seeds that make little brothers. 😂

Actually I had the thought of it on Christmas eve, that what if children really hoped with all their heart that santa would come and visit them, and then they are disappointed on christmas day that Santa didn't come, and they would just suicide or do something foolish, like in search for santa!!! THey show that on TV!!! STUPID!!!...

If they're old enough to ask, they're old enough to be told.... mind, at our school, it didn't get taught till you were 15... we were taught by a born again Christian who said..."You shouldn't be doing it, so i'm teaching you nothing..." we then used the eight weeks of sex-ed lessons to do homework....

10 years old is a bit young to be teaching a kid about sex. however there are some very precocious children at that age, so sometimes it needs to be takin on a case by case basis, but thats unrealistic in school. teaching children around that age the general concept of what sex is is sufficient, but going into detail is alil overboard. thats more of 12 13 type of thing
