Parents ought
to be the first source of sex education for their children. Don't think
that because children can learn about human sexuality in school, your
responsibility to teach them about sex has been removed. Especially now
that there is confusion as to how to teach human sexuality in school,
the parents must be ready to assume the role to educate their children
in everything they need to know to understand their sexuality.
Who's better to teach about morality and the
ramification of
sex and sexuality to your children than you their
parents? Often times, the school only teaches about the anatomy of human
sexuality and the issue of morality and the taboos related to sex are
often placed on the sidelines. This is where you should come in - teach
your children their moral obligation when it comes to sex.
Sex education does not involve only teaching the
children about the anatomy of the human reproductive organ. It's much
more than that. Sex education also involves teaching the children their
moral obligation towards the opposite sex. Even more so for teenagers,
you need to teach them their moral obligation towards their boyfriends
or their girlfriends for that matter.
More so if your
teenagers are already sexually
active. You have an obligation to open their eyes about the possible
ramification of their action. Your son could get a girl pregnant or your
daughter can become pregnant if they are practicing sex at a very young
age. They should understand the implications of their actions.
Another very important aspect of
sex education you
should teach your children is the issue on sexually transmitted
diseases. If they are already sexually active, they must understand that
they can contract disease by sleeping around with many partners, or even
from their very
first sexual encounter
Sex education is always a difficult topic to discuss
with your children at home. But this is yet another role of parents that
they cannot escape from.
