There is a popular saying that & #39;If you don& #39;t give your children Sex Education, they will learn about Sex from outside& #39; https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♀️" title="Woman shrugging" aria-label="Emoji: Woman shrugging">.

While older generations of African parents managed to skip having conversations about sex with their kids, sadly, the 21st-century kids we have now (Gen Z and the ones following https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😬" title="Grimacing face" aria-label="Emoji: Grimacing face">), live in a highly sexualized society https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦‍♀️" title="Woman facepalming" aria-label="Emoji: Woman facepalming">.
So as awkward as you may find it, it& #39;s Best Practice to teach your kids about Sex and Sexuality. Kids these days are exposed to sexual language, images, and behaviours before they are prepared to handle them.
Use these 5 steps to prepare your kids ahead
First, like ABC, start with the Basics
Say it as it is. Don& #39;t use & #39;willy& #39; in- place of & #39;penis& #39;. Use the exact or the closest correct word for all terminologies.
Explain things in detail and let your kids be free to ask you just about anything regarding Sex. Create a safe and friendly environment so you remain their reference point for clarity on the subject
You need to know. Do your research. Find out trending slangs and their meanings
Finally, if you want it to stick, you will need to repeat yourself over and over again https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙂" title="Slightly smiling face" aria-label="Emoji: Slightly smiling face">.
Don& #39;t get tired until you& #39;re able to instil the right moral values in your children https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👪" title="Family" aria-label="Emoji: Family">. Remember, if you don& #39;t teach them, they will learn it in school, from their friends, on TV, on social media etc (the list is endless!).
