What should kids know about sexual health, and when should they know it?


Question:
Serious question here...just interested in what parents, educators think.

Considering the advantage of a kid knowing that they should NOT pick up a used condom...and yes these can be found on the playgrounds and parking lots of many urban and suburban schools... isn't it a good idea to have a plan for what to tell them, and when to tell them?

Answer:
I agree with the answer that knowledge is a tool. The right tools are a must. I think children should be taught all that they need to know as they grow. With each age there is something to be learned. I think parents should be open and honest about sex ,and all the risks and feelings that goes with it.
Knowledge is a tool. It is always better to have the right tools. Give you kids all the knowledge they can take.
depends on age and i think they should learn about it from school and parents. schools usually get my kids asking about it and i take it from there. or if they ask i tell. age appropiate info though.
I've been talking to my kids about sex (age appropriately) since they were old enough to listen. I want to be sure they know everything they need to know about this issue so they don't go into anything blind.
