Grandparents, aunts, and uncles head others. Some homes have one parent or guardian. Some have two mothers. Others have two fathers. The fact remains that all these people are and ought to be the primary sexuality educators of their children.
Sexuality education begins at home.
Parents and caregivers have the opportunity to discuss sexuality issues with their children on a daily basis. From the moment of birth, children learn about love, touch, and relationships. Infants and toddlers learn about sexuality through example when their parents talk to them, dress them, show affection, play with them, and teach them the names of the parts of their bodies. As children grow into adolescence, developing relationships within their families and the social environment, they continue to receive messages about sexual behaviors, attitudes, and values. Some parents and caregivers are comfortable discussing sexuality issues with their kids.
