Having cute kids and living happily ever after is always the dream of any couple on this planet,parenting is so very interesting mostly in the early childhood and all the way if its proper parenting at that.Children at four Onwards are one very curious human beings that it becomes so fun to be with.In the parenting process there comes a time when one has to get some questions answered and answered correctly else the impact may be gravous for to bear in the long run.
# How many times have you had the radio channel changed all because the subject of discussion is not one you would want to listen to with your children around?.
# How many times have you been forced to sent your children to go and play,go and sleep of change the tv channel because what it was airing was not something you considered fit for them?
It is high time we became realistic and faced the bull by the horns,teenage is one stage in life that if care is not taken the information exposed to these young individual may move them to levels where they have to satisfy their curiosity and for sure the repacution may not be something we would bear.
It is high time either as the parent,guardian,the elder sibling or even as the concerned individuals that we are took time and had these young innocent minds understand sexuality for what it really is,the reason why we see what we end up with is because,at the age that they demand the answers to these pertinent questions we were never there for them to properly answer,we make them perceive it as a subject that should not and can never be discussed with adults or parents so to say,in the end they go out in quest for them and what they get we blame them for it.
I have come across parents who talk of instances when they found porn content on their children's phone,found such magazines in hidden in their rooms once they've gone back to school.children find it easier to discuss these topics with their peers and people who they are not directly related to some of whom end up giving them misguided information.Whatever these individuals find themselves in is not for the poor decisions they take but because they are vulnerable basing on the issue at hand.
Having known all that is to be known then comes the question,how do we introduce them to such sensitive information without having them to misinterpret what we tell them? or have them get it all in the wrong way other than what we may have intended fit for them to?.
First admit that they are bound to know whether from you or elsewhere but getting it from you would be better as another avenue will misguide their innocence,it would be significant if it was a female addressing a girl and the male addressing the boy child this is to avoid getting them to shy off for fear of you not fully understanding them.
Always give them an atmosphere of freedom to have them feel free to discuss their deeper individuality with so as it becomes clear to solve an issue you are well informed about.given that you are nurturing them through the reality of what is out there,caution needs to be taken to avoid giving them or telling them more than what they ought to know otherwise it may compromise the need for the entire information.
