My son 4.5 years old came home from school reception class the other day and said some things which I found very disturbing. An example of which was that few children in his class took their clothes off as part of some sex education exercise by teachers. While I am aware that my son could be confused as he is very young, and I know that what he was describing, including children touching private parts . Model girl child and model boy child were hiding their faces in their hands as they were embarrassed. My son knows the names of teachers and children who took part in this exercise. I am very strong woman but I am confused right now as common sense doesn't accept that it can happen in the children's school in such a young age. what sort of action I have to take ??? I am already writing a letter to head teacher asking her more information about it. What else I can do ? Is it a normal or Should I be worried ?

I don’t know if I understand. The child said they took their clothes off? How did you get to the term “sex education”? Did you assume it was a sex Ed class? Or did he say something that made you think it was a sex Ed class?
And model girl and model boy child? What does this mean?

They took 2 female teachers took a group of children in another room and took one boy and one girls clothes off while other children were watching. He learnt words willy and bottom. While one child touched the willy of model boy child. My son is on 4.5 years old and it is not possible to know exactly what went there, I am thinking might be Re. Sex education but how it is possible because of their age 🤔. That is why I am writing on mums net may be someone shed some light on please 🙏 😔

Speak to the school to clarify this.

You need to get clarification, because no school would get children to strip naked in front of each other for a sex education lesson.
Are you sure he's not talking about dolls?

English is not my first language, Please clarify what does it mean when you say " Are you sure he's not talking about dolls ?

I mean are you sure he's talking about children, and not dolls they have played with at school. My son loves playing with the dolls at school.

No he never play with dolls. He can express himself very clearly compared with other children in his age and all the warning lights are there . They said at school reception today, in his age they don't involve in sex education, while I am sure this happened as my said everything clearly. 2 teachers from his class and a old man took these children in another room for this exercise where 1 child girl's and a child boy's clothes were taken off to show other rchildren in that group. Was it experimental exercise or something else I am waiting official reply from school

I think you need to phone the school or speak to them in person rather than wait for a letter. It sounds extremely bizarre.

Hi, Just to inform Everyone that matter has been resolved as I am first time mother and Don't have experience. machanicalmovement mentioned earlier talking about dolls ( I really appreciate your help) and I found that he took some parts from YouTube and some in the school. School Head Teacher was very helpful as well.

Happy to help, children can sometimes find it very hard to distinguish reality and fantasy and their limited vocabulary makes it harder, even though your child's speech is clear words like "model" have two meanings, someone modeling and a fake person, a statue.

Lots of dressing and undressing the dolls at school. it's understandable you panicked and worried, you are not the first nor will you be the last.♥️
