Tbh childrens television is very good at introducing these things now. Also top kids authors do great stuff introducing a lot of this.
Ive had kids in different eras and the progress has been quite exceptional tbh now.
There far more inorganic cases that derives from mental issues such as trauma and anxiety.
Right now people are trying to flip everything on its head for 0.3% of the population.
Literally a DVD or a talk during a PSE class. Whenever those start, Iâve forgotten.
âSome of you will have a mum and a dad, and some of you may have 2 dadâs, or 2 mums.â
And thatâs normal. Be nice about everyone. Simple.

Then the contradiction for kids that have been taught, kids are born from a mum and dad.
It tricky subject regardless.
Itâs Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!

Well yeah but then you introduce religion and start talking about immaculate conceptions.
Thatâs just the science bit. Thereâs plenty of room to teach that alongside the reality of family composition.
Well yes, itâs basic parenting to teach a child about sex and sexual predators. A child can start puberty from as early as 8 anyway, although the average is 11. Children most susceptible to grooming are ones where the parents havenât educated them about sex.
Do you have any evidence for that? Iâve never heard that before.
Seems plausible though.
I would disagree. I knew what my sexuality was in primary school, luckily it was heterosexual so there was nothing for me to struggle with, no stigma for me to contend with.
If a child of that age has the same realisation of their sexuality, but it isnât heterosexual, that can present some real problems.
Which is why I would contest your statement that it shouldnât start until secondary school.
Just like I think it is sensible to have some primary school PSHRE (or whatever it is called these days) lessons focusing on race, religion etc and how weâre all equal and should be treated as such, it is absolutely appropriate to do the same with sexuality. You donât talk about who does what with their genitals, itâs just about making it clear that some people have a mum and dad, some have two dads, two mums, some people just have a mum, some people might be raised by gran and granddad.
When theyâre pre pubescent just keep it simple and teach kids that there is no right or wrong composition of a family.
Besides, some people start hitting puberty towards the end of primary school, so itâs hard to argue that they shouldnât be taught anything to do with sex or sexuality. Iâd seen bits of porn by that age too, so it would probably be worth having some sensible education about it, cos many kids wonât get that at home. So if they donât get it at home, or at school, itâll be from friends and the Internet, which is evidently potentially harmful.
I remember my sex education in primary school (Year 6) literally being a DVD explaining the basics of how people have sex, I donât how this canât be replicated for other stuff, it doesnât need to be super in-depth, just surface knowledge of others existence.
My sex education was a faded copy of Penthouse that me and my mate found in the woods.

It wasnât faded when me and my mates read it.
We left it in the woods for future generations to get their sex education from it.
I remember there were several pages that were so educational they got stuck together.
