Why do I have a vagina, while my little brother has a penis?&nbsp; Why are there boys and girls?&nbsp; What are the differences between boys and girls?&nbsp; Why do boys and girls have their own restrooms? Am I less a person because I have different anatomical parts?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Parents should be made aware that not all conversations are appropriate.&nbsp; If I discuss my sexual encounters with my wife, then I am crossing a barrier of safety and care.&nbsp; However, if I am discussing the unique anatomical differences between a boy and a girl, then I am conversing appropriately with my child.&nbsp; Every child should be made aware that his \/ her sexual anatomy is a healthy and beautiful thing.&nbsp; No child should ever be taught to be ashamed of his \/ her physical anatomy.&nbsp; All children should be taught at an early age appropriate and inappropriate touch.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; If we understand our physicality and we are taught to respect our anatomy, then we are less likely to allow anyone to disrespect our person.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A child should be made to feel comfortable with sex and sexuality.&nbsp; Importantly, children who are left to determine and distinguish right from wrong, appropriate verses inappropriate; may have a higher likelihood of making personal errors in their personal development.&nbsp;&nbsp; A child should be guided through such prudent matters such as sexual relationships, intimacy, and his \/ her own sexuality identity (gender).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>GENDER AWARENESS AND SEXUALITY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A child who is aware of his \/ her body\u2019s anatomical parts is an informed child.&nbsp; A child should be informed of his \/ her body\u2019s sexuality for more than purposes of sexual intimacy.&nbsp; The physical body is a complex device.&nbsp; If a child is made aware of his \/ her physical anatomy he \/ she is more apt to be capable of discussing pains, changes, and queries about his\/her anatomy.&nbsp;&nbsp; If a child is unaware of his \/ her own anatomy, he\/she may find it challenging not only describing difficulties or changes within his \/ her physical being, but may find it painfully awkward to discuss it with mom, dad, and\/or a professional.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Children begin becoming aware of their sexuality at a very young age.&nbsp;&nbsp; The development of our gender consciousness begins around 2 to 3 years of age.&nbsp; This very awareness has been labeled and defined to be our <strong>gender identity<\/strong>.&nbsp; A person\u2019s gender identity is an awareness of his \/ her physical anatomy, personhood (being male or female), and his \/ her gender distinction from being either male or female.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy the age of three, your child will probably begin to ask you for information about sex. It will help if you take as much care in preparing yourself for your child&#8217;s sexuality education as you do when preparing to teach him or her about health and physical safety.\u201d (Pike, 2001, Online) For many parents, sex and sexuality is an unbearable task.&nbsp; Parents frequently ask, \u201cIt feels personally awkward to discuss sex with my young child.\u201d&nbsp; \u201cWill I not be encouraging my child to be sexually promiscuous if I discuss sex with him \/ her at an early age?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t wait for your child to start the conversation. Many parents put off talking to their children about sexuality, assuming that a child will ask when he (she) wants to know something. But some children are reluctant to begin these talks, and others simply aren\u2019t the type who ask a lot of questions. Do you wait for your child to ask about your religious faith, personal safety and other important topics before discussing them? The answer, more than likely, is no \u2013 and sexuality should be no different. <strong>It\u2019s a parent\u2019s responsibility to introduce the topic<\/strong>, little by little. Your child might never ask, but he (she) still needs to know.\u201d (Needlman &amp; Haffner, 2012, Online)<\/p>\n<p><strong>PARENTS FEARS, PHOBIAS, FRUSTRATIONS, AND CONCERNS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a parent, it is important that you are diligent in the raising of your child.&nbsp; If you are concerned that you may be \u201cinappropriate\u201d or \u201cuncomfortable\u201d discussing your child\u2019s sexuality or matters of sex; there are a number of good resources, books, and practitioners that may help you with your personal dilemma.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>TACKLING THE TALK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a parent of two daughters, I too have my personal and professional concerns about tackling the conversation.&nbsp;&nbsp; Am I,<em> a man <\/em>with a doctorate of philosophy in clinical psychology suppose to tackle this most prudent question?&nbsp; Or, should I hand this topic off to my spouse making her solely responsible to discuss this most prudent topic?&nbsp; The answer is not simple, but here is my professional proposal.&nbsp; Children need to know that both parents are interested in their sex and sexuality.&nbsp; A child needs to feel comfortable presenting his \/ her concerns, questions, and interests with either parent.&nbsp; Importantly, if parents are comfortable with sex and their sexuality, then a child should not be made to feel uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn talking with your child or adolescent, it is helpful to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Encourage your child to talk and ask questions<\/li>\n<li>Maintain a calm and non-critical atmosphere for discussions.<\/li>\n<li>Use words that are understandable and comfortable<\/li>\n<li>Try to determine your child&#8217;s level of knowledge and understanding.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your sense of humor and don&#8217;t be afraid to talk about your own discomfort.<\/li>\n<li>Relate sex to love, intimacy, caring, and respect for oneself and one&#8217;s partner.<\/li>\n<li>Be open in sharing your values and concerns.<\/li>\n<li>Discuss the importance of responsibility for choices and decisions.<\/li>\n<li>Help your child to consider the pros and cons of choices.\u201d (American Academy of Child &amp; Adolescent Psychiatry, 2005, Online)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A child should never be made to feel that sex and\/or his \/ her sexuality is taboo or a mistake.&nbsp; A child should always be made to feel comfortable with discussions of sex and sexuality.&nbsp;&nbsp; If a child is made to feel that sex or his \/ her sexuality is wrong, then that child has a higher probability of developing an issue pertaining to sex and\/or his \/ her personal sexuality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to talk about the responsibilities and consequences that come from being sexually active.&nbsp; Pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and feelings about sex are important issues to be discussed.&nbsp; Talking to your children can help them make the decisions that are best for them without feeling pressured to do something before they are ready.&nbsp; Helping children understand that these are decisions that require maturity and responsibility will increase the chance that they make good choices.\u201d (American Academy of Child &amp; Adolescent Psychiatry, 2005, Online)<\/p>\n<p>During <em>the talk<\/em>, parents should inform their child of the beauty within their relationship.&nbsp; As parents, it is important to be comfortable with your own sexuality and sexual relationship.&nbsp; Otherwise, you may be offering a \u201csexual talk,\u201d but the child will distinguish between your personal level of comfortability and uncomfortableness.&nbsp; Furthermore, if a parent is uncomfortable with his \/ her own sexuality or sexual relationship, then the parent will be projecting a number of conflicting messages: (a) listen to my advice, but watch me travel a different path, (b) ignore your true nature and desires, (c) live a personal mistruth, (d) do not always tell the truth, (e) while I offer you one way of living, I will follow a different message all together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The talk should always include personal safety and care.&nbsp;&nbsp; A child should never be made to feel as though he \/ she&nbsp; must have a sexual relations or sexual encounter.&nbsp;&nbsp; If a child is taught to respect his \/ her own personal space and body at an early age, then the likelihood of having someone mistreat him \/ her or disrespect him \/ her is decreased drastically.&nbsp;&nbsp; All persons, should feel safe within their own body and as an individual.&nbsp; No one should be empowered to make you feel unsafe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A child should never be made to feel unsafe with their own personal level of sexual intimacy.&nbsp; A healthy discussion around sexual exploration (masturbation) should never be turned into something dirty, disgusting, or awkward.&nbsp; Masturbation is a natural way of life.&nbsp; A child who is capable of pleasing themselves, will be enabled to know his \/ her personal desires and personal level of comfortableness.&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cConcerns regarding masturbation, menstruation, contraception, pregnancy, and sexually transmitted diseases are common.&nbsp; Some adolescents also struggle with conflicts around family, religious or cultural values.&nbsp; Open communication and accurate information from parents increases the chance that teens will postpone sex and will use appropriate methods of birth control once they begin.\u201d (American Academy of Child &amp; Adolescent Psychiatry, 2005, Online)&nbsp; The key to any relationship or sexual encounter is to always use safety and care.&nbsp; Never allow yourself to be sexually manipulated or exploited.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sexual relationships are about creating a personal level of cohesiveness.&nbsp; There should always be a connection, a desire, and a choice when pursuing a sexual relationship.&nbsp;&nbsp; A child should be made aware that <em>all<\/em> sexual relations should be mutually acknowledged and acceptable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The life of a child is precious.&nbsp; All children deserve to feel comfortable, acceptable, approvable, worthy, and loved.&nbsp;&nbsp; No child should be made to feel as though he \/ she are dirty or disgusting.&nbsp; No child should be made to feel that sex and\/or one\u2019s sexuality is an ugly or repugnant part of his \/ her being.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sexuality is a remarkable aspect of the human condition.&nbsp;&nbsp; Children should be taught the inner and outer beauty related to one\u2019s sexuality and personal relationship to sex.&nbsp; <em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Author<\/strong>:&nbsp;&nbsp;
