TEACHING CHILDREN ABOUT SEX: QUESTIONS PARENTS ASK-ARE PETS ANY HELP? HOW USEFUL ARE BOOKS FOR CHILDREN?


Are pets any help?

Yes. By having pets and watching them mate and have their young, children of all ages can learn a great deal about sex in a gentle, natural way. Of course, watching rabbits teaches nothing about human inter-relationships but it helps get the plumbing sorted out in their minds and this in itself is a help. Research shows that country children are much more at ease with physical sexuality and that this is probably because their experience of animal sex has made them see the whole thing as natural and normal, which it is.

How useful are books for children?

That depends on the book and the child. Some children are happier to learn from books than from adults, so for them a good book can be just the job. There are lots of good books around for children of all ages, but be sure to read any book first so that you know what your children are learning. If there are things you do not like about the sex-education books they use at school, take up the subject with the head teacher. There are books available for parents to read with their children and this can be a very good way of handling the subject.
