Sex education

[Meadow1203]

I was chatting to my son yesterday and he told me that he will not be letting my Grand son back to school in September. I asked why and he said that they were giving Sex education to children aged 6 + which he said was innapproriate, I thought it was the parents choice at junior school to determine whether they want them to be included in these lessons but I am probably totally? From what he tells me it does sound quite graphic. Would be interested in MN's thoughts on this.

This is always brought up and never true. I hope he clarifies with the school what is actually being taught

Sorry but your son sounds like a fucking idiot

Tell your son to stop reading the express and the daily mail.

Nice to see people resorting to name calling how very brave you are behind a screen. Thank you to those giving views from knowledge and experience. I do not have mush faith in our government atm so can't blame my son for having trust issue, there is some strange and scary legislation going on, This info was not obtained by the Daily Mail btw

Your son needs to accept that knowledge is power. Leaving children innocent ignorant means they lack the tools to protect themselves and ask key questions. My DD1 once came home and asked me what a blowjob was. So I told her calmly and then asked why she wanted to know. Turned out a classmate had asked her for one, he was being sexually abused at home and Social services were called in. Without that openness and trust, would she have known to ask the question? Starting this stuff young works - look at the Netherlands and Scandinavian countries.

My mother had an open question policy

If I asked a question. She told me the answer. Regardless of the question or the answer. It taught me that no matter what was being said at school. If classmates used words that I didn't understand. I could ask my mother. Like pure trust. She did too. Any question. Sex questions. Rude words. She straight up told me.

I got called frigid at school for not wanting to kiss a boy. Didn't know what it meant. So asked mum. I asked her at 4 what a BJ meant. I'd heard it during a joke my fathers friends were having.

Of course she'd word it in a way that a child could understand. She wouldnt be vulgar.

I have the same policy with my children.
