I am having mixed feelings about the PSHE KS2 sex ed video our children will be shown soon. https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/articles/zhtnydm
It is absolutely necessary to have kids know things, understand the reality of things - we already went through one milestone, and in our home we had talks to address questions, explain things properly. What we wanted to avoid is them learning nonsense they hear at school from each other, especially from kids who have older siblings or have unlimited access to internet.
This video I feel is a bit much, it's like someone put it together who had way too much fun with magic mushrooms, and I am not a fan of my kids being subject to it in this shape and form.
My wife and I are doing our best to keep screen time for our kids, device use at a manageable level, they have some controlled, limited time they can spend on their tablets, they play some games with each other - we are not overly strict, but we keep an eye on it at the same time to make sure there's nothing we could've nipped in the bud. You know what I mean, no inappropriate content, avoiding them as much as possible. Obviously, we have no control over how other parents are raising their own kids, unlimited device use, not controlled, social media, etc. Our children have no access to social media, have no phones, etc. We will get there, but our oldest is 11, there is no real need for these things just yet in our home.
What I am trying to get at is that they are still kids, they play and have cuddly toys and write a letter to the tooth fairy. I don't know if "wet dreams" and "sexting" are things the school should be explaining to them just yet... If anything it will just give ideas to kids, rather than being informative.
We are no prudes, my wife and I, we have a healthy sex life and as I said above, we do think kids should be explained things, but I really feel unsure about the value of the above video..
Is there anyone around who are in the same shoes - their kids are about to be shown this? How do you feel about it?
