Sex education in Kindergarten?

[Arkhane]

Yes I'm ok with Sex-Ed but I don't think children in kindergarten should be taught, Its really hard, if not near impossible explaining to a 2 yr old about the sexual anatomy, sexuality, biological drive, libido, abstinence and what to do when someone is "touching your peepee" , and (my goodness) contraceptives. Maybe they should go for a little more mature age.

I guess that kindergarten sex ed and the level of information it administers are carefully studied to make it accessible to...well, kindergarteners?

I seriously doubt that, what are they gonna do? Hand-puppet shows? Pop-up books? Story-telling? Cartoons?

Since when are two-year olds in kindergarten?

Conversations? I'm sure kindergarteners are old enough to have a rudimentary grasp of language, are they not?

Kindergarten ages varies from country to country.

Well, I can't even teach them how to use the bathroom by themselves yet, how am I suppose to impart to them the knowledge of sex?

By your reasoning, why do we have kindergarten at all if, as you say, young children seemingly can't understand anything?

Since when are kindergarteners unable to go to the bathroom by themselves?

I seriously doubt a 2-year old can take that all in, you don't have to give a child a whole treatise on various forms of reproduction, sometimes the best answers are the simplest.

Gee IDK, that depends on the child, some learn to use the toilet by three, others, not so much.

Children are stupid, I get it.

Why do you keep talking about two-year olds?

Well, what I do (although I haven't had to do it at a Kindergarten level for a while) is teach them the names of the body parts, using a line diagram that we label. We start with the ones that they know - hands, feet, face, etc - then move into the private parts. Then we have the obligatory discussion on what it means for private parts to be private. We also talk quite a bit about comfort levels, and understanding the signals your body gives you if you're not comfortable with something. We talk about trust and the people you can go to for help.

Sorry to disappoint you about the lack of puppet shows and pop-up books, but there is a bit of story telling and discussions about what's happening in the stories. That is a surprisingly effective way of teaching a five year old (which, by the way, is the age of a student in kindergarten)

Not able to understand does not translate to being stupid, and just because they don't understand now doesn't mean they won't understand later.

Well that's the standard kindergarten age in my country.

Wew, I'm so sorry, but 5 year olds are way off the kindergarten level here in my country.

There-in lies your confusion. The rest of us are talking about 5-6 year olds.

I see, well, we don't have to put so much effort teaching 5-6 yr olds here. One of the wrong things about my country is that computer shop owners rarely give a damn about what children watch in a computer, Its a common occurrence here to see unsupervised toddlers open up a PC and watch in a porn-site they most likely copied from adults who watch porn in public. And I find it rather uncomfortable playing online games next to a pervert who's watching hentai with a gang of children at his back. I just don't see why no-one's telling them off.

Actually, porn may be the worst thing to learn about sex from.

I know, but at least you don't have to give them an extensive basics of how people make babies, those horny little brats.

Oh its common-place here, they just have to be careful that their parents don't enter the shop and see what they're watching, It happens once in a while and I can't help but smile as the tyke gets pulled away in the ear.

I am starting to think that you may be a crazy person.
