Do's and Don'ts of of educating our children about intimacy/sex
Don'ts                                                                 Do's
1. Sex is bad                                                     1. Parents explain together/ be the source
2. Plumbing lessons                                           2. In context of the plan of salvation "big picture"
3. pseudonyms                                                  3. Old enough to understand what sacred means, sex is

5. tell them the night before the wedding             4. use caution and wisdom
6. Be embarrassed about it                                5. answer/teach when they ask
7. shut down                                                     6. Positive, not negative
8. talk excessively about it                                 7. boundries/protection

It is important for you, as a parent, to teach your child about sex and not to let anyone else to do it. If you are worried about the right time to talk to your child about sex I would recommend just answering their questions when they ask you about it and if you want, set an age when you want to talk to them about so it so if they haven't asked questions yet you can tell them about it. I feel like I would rather my child have the correct facts rather than have someone tell them about it and get it wrong. Plus, I want them to understand that sex is a sacred thing only between a man and a woman, not a man and a man or a woman and a woman. They are your children, protect them and love them!
