If you are a parent - please do the needful. Have a chat with your kids about sex and consent. It is possible your parents did not have the chat with you. If you are unaware, you and your kids can go to a sex ed therapisy / counsellor.
Please take the shame away from something that is imperative as Sex education. It means kids will also learn consent. And the labour of educating what parents should have done in the first place because of your incapacities wouldnt have to fall on others.
If you catch your kids watching porn, or think they’re masturbating, stop shaming them. You and the kid can go to a therapist and basically get some help. All of your incapacities is leading to a messed up society. Your lack of sex ed has led to all these crimes even on babies.
For a change - let kids call body parts as they are so that we’ll know, as children that it isnt our fault if there is a molester who touches us wrong. Also educate yourself on how to deal with a molester. Most of you ask the kid to shut up because the molester is a relative.
Unfortunately since saying body parts as they are in regional languages are cuss words, learn from people like Swati Jagdish, doing stellar work on lactation counselling and sex ed, based in Coimbatore. If your parents / parents-in-law cannot understand - it doesn’t matter.
You raise YOUR child / children well. They had their chance.
They don’t need to get a corrective re-run and overcompensating with your children while many suffer with the mother / father wound, narcissistic and abusive parenting.
Sex education is healthy, normal.
It doesn’t ruin your kid’s innocence neither will they immediately go have sex. Your kid is learning about safe / unsafe touch. YOU may not know how to deal with the situation if your kid identifies a molester.
Kindly be a better parent.
