The
beginnings of sexual awareness
"Daddy, why is the sky
blue?" "Mummy, where does the sun go at night?" And then
suddenly, like a bolt from the blue - "Mummy, where do babies come
from?" This question usually leaves parents squirming with
embarrassment and trying to pass the buck to the other parent. Teaching
children the facts of life, telling them about the birds and the bees, is
something that most parents are not very comfortable with. Actually, this is a
very narrow view of sex education.
