Hello creative minds and great kids lovers, good evening from my end.
I want to share something i grew up to realise i missed learning it as a kid. You know that whenever you miss a moment and you fortunately outgrow that moment, that feeling of ensuring that the persons currently enjoying that moment you outgrew get the best of their time spent while enjoying the moment.

While i was growing up, i realised that there were a lot of answers to questions which my parents and my senior siblings denied me of. All i got was imposed rule of "don't do this and don't do that" but when i ask to know why they do not want me to do those things and the implications of doing those things, they refused to tell me.

Take for example, i remember a day my senior brother sternly warned me not to be playing with girls in my neighborhood. When i asked why he said i should not have girls as my friends, he raised his voice at me and said i should take his instructions and not question him. But as i grew up, the stuffs they were always trying to forcefully stop me from doing them, i realised i had enough liberty to even do them to the extreme.

They did not teach me about sex education. I realised that as a child, i needed to know exactly what sex education is all about. But funny enough, sex education in my environs is like a taboo for kids to know.

I feel that at age ranging from 12 to 15 years, parents really need to give their children good sex education so that when they go out to acquaint with their peers, they might have already had enough information about the implications of whatever decision they are to make.

Sex education is really lacking in most environs and it is really not encouraging the young minds that are growing up. The reason for equipping the children with sex education is so that they won't be easily misled by what their peers in school say to them. It even gets worst when these children get to high school, and get to meet some friends who wish to explore the horizon of the campus.

My point here is that in this 21st century, our kids should not be caught off-guard. Parents should please get them well equipped with sufficient information that will help them as they grow up.
All the education a child receives, whether by works or by play is preparing the child for his or he future days.

Thank You.
