Sex education for 5yr old child???

PaganBOY · 09-30-2006, 04:32 AM

I need some urgent advice.
My son is 5yrs old and keeps asking me how babies get into their mother's tummy. I keep dodging the question.
Is he too young for sex education?
At what age should I give him the birds and the bees talk?
What do I tell him now?
Also... My wife saw him touching his willy in the bath the other day. Is this normal behaviour for a 5yr old boy and at what age (if ever) should a father talk to his son about masturbation?
Urgent advice / help needed!

It is perfectly normal for young kids to touch their bits as long as they stop doing it when they are older!

My mother introduced s*x education to my brother and I at a young age, thus saving us the embarrassment of asking when we were teenagers.

I would suggest explaining it to your son as "special cuddles" and "when a mummy and a daddy love eachother very much" etc.

If you need any help just post another message, and hopefully I will be able to help =}

My wife learned all those 'embarrasing' things from a book and plans to have that same option available for our children too.brI know someone would like to say something about protecting children, but I think that children have the same rights to access any information available that (s)he needs. brbrThe world will expand with its own natural pace, parents are needed to guide the children to process the acquired information e.g to say that no knowledge is absolute and true.brbrflame on... I know you want to

I haven't really talked to my kids about sex education yet. My daughter is 8 and my son is 4. I basically told them not to let anyone touch or see their private parts. My son was caught in the day care with a little girl looking and touching each other so, I had to talk to him about that of course. After looking at this topic maybe I should sit them down and have a talk with them. It never hurts to talk to your kids about stuff and it's even better to talk to them again about stuff....it helps to reenforce the knowledge.
