All parents panic when the child utters the word ‘sex’ for the first time. But here are a few points that might make you stop and consider why its necessary to talk about sexual health and safety to children at an early age.

Sexual Abuse is Real
Sexual abuse is increasing among children of all ages due to exposure to technology. More than 20% of kids have faced sexual abuse before they reach 18 years of age. Educating kids about sex is the most constructive way to help them fight the abuse.

Understanding the Body is Necessary
Curiosity in a child begins with their own body. It’s important to educate them about their own body which helps them to maintain hygiene & protect themselves.

Make Way for Sexual/Biological Dialogue
The psychological impact of sex offences can be reduced if a child talks about the event with parents or guardians. Sex Education can give children the confidence to have open conversations with parents or guardians.

Early Sexual Activity in Kids
Whether we accept it or not, teenagers nowadays get sexually active much earlier than they used to 20 years back. Hence it’s better to empower them with sex education to avoid any unwanted situations or problems which can tarnish their life forever.

Not Everything on the Internet is True
Kids pick up everything from the Internet. But that should not be the case with sex education. The word sex when searched on the World Wide Web draws different results. Well researched and knowledgeable information is essential to a child’s sexual well being.

Information on Sex is Often Misguided & Harmful
When kids learn about sex by themselves, it is usually in a completely misguided & harmful way. It’s necessary to give them a proper illustrated guide. Right knowledge is power. Empower your children now!
