Dear Parents Attention
Please - Sex Education is Important to your Teens
An Indian teenager nowadays is exposed to lot
of sexually explicit material /stimulus due to a boom in media and information
technology. The exposure is much greater than it was to their parents in their
times.
It had made many parents upset on this issue as what to do in this regard and how to deal the situation, about which they themselves have very less know how and don't know exactly how to tackle the situation effectively.
Many parents don't discuss sex with their child until they discover their teen has already made difficult sexually related decisions. By this time the teen has probably already engaged in sexual activity. Because the child was not encouraged to discuss sexually related issues from an early age, the teen will feel uncomfortable with the subject matter at this point in time. As a result the teen might lie or tell the parents what they want to hear in order to avoid an awkward situation. The parents may also feel uncomfortable discussing the subject matter with their child and will have difficulty initiating such a conversation.
Experts urge parents to begin appropriate discussions about sexual issues when their children are very young. These discussions will establish sex as an acceptable topic of conversation, let your child know that you are available to help with difficult issues and establish a level of comfort between you and your child for talking about important issues that could have detrimental effects on your child's health. It's never too early to open these discussions. Children have a natural sexual curiosity. It starts within their first year of life, when they discover their genitals. Children can start masturbating anywhere from the age of 2 to their high school years. As soon as a child notices that they are allowed to see one parent in the nude and not the other, or can differentiate between boys and girls, they will have a curiosity about the opposite sex and the parts that make us different. Don't freak out if you find your child half-dressed playing doctor with the kid next door. This simply represents one more reminder that it's never too early to explain to a child what appropriate behaviour is.
Children should know that it's not OK for anyone to touch their private area unless they're getting a doctor's physical under your supervision. They should know you are the one they can talk to about private matters and that you promise to not get upset. They should know it's OK to explore their own bodies in private. Eventually they should know the risks and responsibilities associated with being sexually active. The discussion needs to begin now.
IMPORTANT POINTS TO GET DISCUSSED:
Prepare yourself.
- Start by formulating answers to questions your child might
ask, and those answers to match your child's age or level of intelligence.
- Approach your child casually. Make them feel
comfortable.
- Joking is one way to quickly establish a casual
atmosphere. Although sex itself is definitely not a laughing matter,
- You need someway to put the child at ease, and laughter
just happens to be one of the most effective ways of doing that.
- It also makes the conversation more enjoyable and thus
more likely to continue as they grow up.
- Don't leave questions unanswered. If you can't think of
an appropriate answer on the spot, let them know it was a terrific
question and get back to them the same day.
- Avoid showing shock or anger. These emotions can send
the message that sex is dirty, harmful or frightening and may have consequences
on you child's ability to function socially.
- When deciding when to divulge the intricacies of sexual
intercourse, remember - Girls can have their first menstrual period
between the ages of 9 and 12. Eggs can exist in a girl's reproductive
tract just before their first menstruation. Thus as hard as it is to
believe, it is very rare but possible for girls to become pregnant as
early as age 9.
The American Academy of
Paediatrics recommends making sure your child understands the following before
reaching their early teens:
- The names and functions of male and female sex organs.
- What happens during puberty and that those changes
signify moving into young womanhood or young manhood.
- The function of the menstrual cycle.
- What sexual intercourse is and how females become
pregnant.
- If you don't talk to your children about sex, their
friends will. Studies have shown that children who learn about sex from
their friends start having sex earlier than children who learn about sex
from their parents.
- Do not assume your children's school is teaching them
what they need to know. Sex education is not taught in schools. The ones
that do might be pushing abstinence while shielding their students' eyes
from information they need to understand the full dangers of sexually transmitted
diseases and teenage pregnancy.
A young rebellious stage of life called adolescents; sex is not illegal like controlled substances or underage drinking. It is a natural born drive that is pushed into high gear throughout puberty by the elevated levels of hormones produced. The sex drive is a very powerful force that has allowed our evolutionary line to persist ever since life only existed in the ocean. Not only will a teen be faced with peer pressure as with drugs, but teens also have to deal with these sudden overwhelming feelings caused by hormones. This is a subject that can't be declared, "no tolerance." Teens need to know the full truth to explain what's going on inside them, and to make educated responsible decisions about their bodies. Whether or not people think premarital sex is immoral, it will still happen. The drive to have sex can of course be resisted, but it's foolish to believe that every teenager will invariably abstain. Some teens will have sex no matter what we tell them, so why not give them the knowledge they require to make healthy informed decisions about their body. The alternative is to remain in denial because it's more comfortable for us, and to leave our children alone groping in the dark holding a "gun" loaded with deadly STDs aimed at their temple.
Most parents feel uncomfortable talking with their children about sexual issues. While some sex education programs in schools do provide an invaluable collection of information for teens, there are still some programs that fail to convey information that teens desperately need. If the world was perfect and all sex education programs did provide this information, then teen pregnant is not possible, special thanks to ambrish shigal
