Sex education for children

In The Netherlands, children start receiving sex education as early as the age of five. This week, schools received a teaching package for all age groups. It's called "Spring-Fever Week".

Wow, sex ed for kids. What a horrible idea. Why shouldn't they grow up as neurotic, ill-informed, and screwed-up as we were about sex?

@Raxidz Your stupid, without sex education at an early age, teenage pregnancy will shoot up. You need to know about infections and pregnancy from an age as early as 7 because a lot of girls ive seen involve in sexual activities as young as 11. Don't forget child abuse, it can prevent it. Think about it from a different prespective such as child abuse and pregnancy, not just what you THINK is wrong.

Kids below the age of 10 should know nothing about sex. Let them be kids, for goodness sakes!

and revealed that it is difficult for teachers to stay aware at all times that there are children of different cultures in their class. Great job!

I am watching this video in amazement. I am currently a psychology and sociology major therefore I have taken a class on sexuality in society. One of the things the teacher said intrigued me at 2:09 when the she explained that boys at their age have pink balls then they get darker as they get older. As we all can see, there are kids there of different ethnicities and so I was a little disappointed in her misinformation. Although right as I was thinking this the administrator came on

@MaskedMarvyl

I totally agree, it's this screwed up attitude to kids learning about sex, body shame and sex = nudity which creates the sex abusers, rapists and pedos of tomorrow

excellent, wish they taught it like this in the UK and US instead of when they are teens and want to experiment and hay presto underaged pregnancy

when I was six my dad told me how to drive a car but I didn't try as I was told it's what adults do not children

same with sex education, you can educate first graders in the simple basics and tell them it's what you do as an adult.
