Reply #60: He's going to have a lot of 'splaining to do. I think

[DemBones DemBones]

parents should tell children about sex and, yes, I told mine well before kindergarten. Parents should start explaining sex early, not make it a big lecture, and discuss it often. You can't tell them once or twice and think they'll remember, because it's not a big deal to them when they're young, not as interesting as things that are part of their lives.

I would be concerned about how well sex ed would be taught in kindergarten. A teacher could give kids a bad attitude toward sex, even a fear of sex, if they sensed that she was uncomfortable talking about it. Healthy attitudes are as important, if not more important, than understanding the mechanics.
