Children are reaching sexual maturity earlier today than when you were a child. Boys and girls are physiologically capable of sexual activity before they are ready emotionally. Give your child a clear message that sexual intercourse is an adults-only activity and they are far too young to experience sex. Between the ages of 10 and 12 some children experiment with sexual intercourse and oral sex. It tends to be a purely physical activity and often occurs in groups. Boys “see if it will fit”, taking turns with others watching. Sometimes it is a result of a dare, part of a game or they are bullied into it. They risk pregnancy, infections, and feeling bad about themselves. Parents are shocked when they learn their child is involved in such activity and the situation needs to be handled sensitively. The child may feel guilty and blame themselves for ending up in this situation. Young people who start having sex before they are 16 years old often say they should have waited longer. They say their early sexual experiences have often been negative and they were under pressure at the time, leaving them confused and feeling bad about themselves. When a person’s self-esteem is shaken they are less able to make healthy decisions. Young people need to have the confidence to feel comfortable with their early sexual feelings without having sex. Your parenting will help to build self esteem and good communication about sexuality will give them confidence to stand up for themselves. Talking to your child about friendships, sex and relationships is an important part of parenting. Talk about the basics of contraception, safer sex, signs of pregnancy, pregnancy options and the local health services available to young people. It is better to give children information before they become sexually active. Encourage them to think about the decisions they will need to make in the future. Research shows that young people who have had the opportunity to learn about these issues are more likely to delay sexual intercourse. Delaying will allow them to enjoy early sexual experiences such as kissing, touching and getting to know each other before making the decision to have sex. If they wait until they feel ready to take this step they are more likely to practise safer sex. Family Planning organisations and government agencies have pamphlets and websites with information that will update you on these topics. Sexuality education at school will also help them gain this confidence. Ask your school about the sexuality education they provide and what you can do to support it. Becoming involved in improving sexuality education at school or helping develop youth friendly services in the community is a great way to help all children. |
