• Sexuality is about how
your child:
– Feels about his developing
body
– Makes healthy decisions
and choices about his own
body
– Understands and
expresses feelings of
intimacy, attraction and
affection for others
– Develops and maintains
respectful relationships.

Sex education in the
definition includes
emotional relations and
responsibilities.
Therefore, teaching sex
education can improve

Parents are embarrassed to
open up about
relationships and sexuality
with their children. Many
communities reserve sex
education for the initiation
period. Yet, sex education
is something that should
start earlier and progress
with the age of the child.

Many adolescents today
learn about sex from
the media and friends
than from parents and
school. This puts them
more at risk because
the media, friends, or
the internet will
largely exaggerate sex
and provide
inaccurate information
