When to talk about sex ed with children? First time mum here.

Hello everyone, first time mother here. My child is turning 4 this year. When is a good time is to begin talking about sex ed? I recently read an article that says children start exploring their own bodies by the age of 4. Anyone has experience or resources to share? Appreciate it alot. Thank you :) #education #sexed #awkward

Hey Clara, I’m no expert but at this age, I usually refer to their body parts as is. So I don’t use pseudonyms or anything. Also I’m not into body shaming - so we try not to use words like fat, and big. Affirming them of their bodies helps them to be body confident and proud of what they’re blessed with. I believe that with this foundation, when you have the birds and bees talk much later, they tend to have more respect for their own bodies and value privacy.
