Proverbs 22 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline of the Lord. Parents have a duty to be the primary educators of their children, particularly in matters related to sex. Hence parents must be acknowledged as the first and foremost educators of their children. A human being's sexuality cannot be separated from who he or she is as a person. The responsibility of parents to steer the discipline and development of their child involves the child's total development including his sexual morality.
Parents are the best educators of their children.
The Church reaffirms the law of subsidiarity. As stated before, parents are called to give a clear and delicate sex education, one that is truly and fully personal. Parents are in the best position to know the developmental level and individual informational needs of their children. Moreover, only in private discussions can these needs be addressed-personally and with the delicacy the subject requires. Further, parents, regardless of their professional credentials, are best suited to be the primary educators of their children.
