to not want ds, 9, to attend the sex education lessons at school?

It's just that he is only a little boy. He is the youngest in the year and is completely un-streetwise. His friends' mothers are unhappy about these lessons too.

I'm not Victoria Gillick (remember her, anyone?) and I would be happy for information to be provided at the end of Year 6 before they move up to secondary school, but I strongly feel that at nine years old this is going to be all too much.

I know that there is the brigade who insist that children must be aware of everything from the earliest age, but I am happy for children to stay children for as long as possible.

I can't see a zombie thread warning?

Exactly Soon it disappears too quickly.

I'm sure you can ask to see the lesson/film/resources which will form the basis for the lessons, if you ask. Then you can make up your mind as to whether you think it's appropriate for him to take part. It's your decision, but maybe an approach would be to base that decision on fact, rather than fear.

This is a zombie thread. The child in question has definitely had some sex ed now - probably practicals.

Op may be a grandparent if it didn't go well.

Sometimes old threads come up in a Google search. Might not have been a MN search. Just a thought. Agree that AIBU should be 90 days as well as chat.
