Parents sometimes catch their young children exhibiting sexual curiosity, such as stimulating their sexual organs or, at times, bluntly asking about sex. But when is the perfect time to start sex education? Is it wise to wait until puberty, or should we begin much earlier? Is kindergarten too early?
Experts offer advice on why it is vital to begin educating children about sex at an early age.
Sex Education and the Internet If parents do not talk to their kids about the birds and the bees, the internet will, alerted award-winning researcher, Dr. Megan Maas. Further, the way the internet depicts sex can add confusion to what kids will think sex looks and feels like, added Maas. The internet has exposed the youth to content that may not be age-appropriate, especially content about sex, impacting a child s development, Centre Daily advised.
Sex ed should start in kindergarten and this is what kids should be learning, study from N.J. college says
Updated Feb 22, 2021;
Sex education should begin in kindergarten and focus on healthy relationships instead of solely on sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy, according to a monumental new study from Montclair State University that reviewed three decades of sex ed data.
“We’ve never had research, ever, that’s looked at the impact of sex education other than pregnancy reduction and STI reduction,” Montclair State public health professor Eva Goldfarb told NJ Advance Media, referring to sexually transmitted infections.
Comprehensive sex ed, the focus of the study by Goldfarb and faculty colleague Lisa Lieberman, can prevent child sex abuse and partner violence, increase appreciation for sexual diversity, improve environments for LGBTQ+ students and help students form lifelong healthy relationships.
Kindergarten may sound too young for sex education. But a study by two Montclair State University public health professors, Eva Goldfarb and Lisa Lieberman, have found that starting sex education early can help prevent child sex abuse and improve their relationships later in life. They joined LX News to explain why sex ed shouldn’t be treated any differently than math.
