My 7 year old asked me, What is Sex? It is a common question in the Intermediate Age and one that many parents are afraid to answer or unsure on how to answer effectively. This video is a HOW TO explain What is Sex to a child who is 7, 8, or 9 years old. Many kids will usually ask what is sex at some point during this age, but if your child is about to turn 10 years old and has not asked, What is Sex, I would encourage you to go to them and initiate the conversation yourself. If you need help on how to start the sex talks and bring up the topics with your child in the intermediate age, you can check out this video that gives you 3 ways to initiate the sex talks with your child in the intermediate age: [ Ссылка ]

It's a great time to explain what is sex in a medically-accurate way and discuss why this is something that adults do with other adults and not kids. Having this sex talk in the intermediate age can potentially prevent child sexual abuse from happening because you are equipping your child with the knowledge and skills to understand what is considered appropriate and inappropriate behavior.

'It's Time for the Sex Talk for Parents' is a channel designed for modern day parents who know that the sex talks aren't a one-time talk but continuous conversation starting in the toddler years. If you feel unprepared to have talks about sex with your child - subscribe and follow along as I bring you weekly videos designed to help you build your confidence in having the sex talks.
Your religious, cultural, and family values are an important aspect to the sex talks and I want you to include them in your talks with your child after providing medically-accurate and age-appropriate sex education first. Family values are an integral part to the sex talks with your child after you first explain the medically-accurate sexual health information in an age-appropriate way. Then, absolutely, you can include your family values.
