AS A former educator and a mother of two - a son and a daughter - I believe that sex education is best taught at home with the parents being the prime educators.
Lessons on sexuality should begin when children are preschoolers, when curiosity about differences in anatomy is aroused. This early start can help prevent child molestation.
I have always believed that since I brought my children into the world, it is my duty to teach and enlighten them about the human anatomy. And I did.
In their growing years, I taught them about respect for one's body and that of the opposite sex.
If parents teach their children the right things while they are young, they will never live to regret it.
