Sex Education for Babies
All parents face difficult questions from their children asking, “where do I come from ?” “how did I get here ?” etc. It happens at different ages and depending on the age should depend on the answer they are given. I am sure most parents will agree the truth is the very best answer but it is the degree of detail that is so important. No five year old wants the full story in Technicolor regarding their parents sex life or anyone else’s they are satisfied with a brief response used through the ages i.e. mummy and daddy love each other and that is why they wanted you and you grew in mummy’s tummy. It’s unfair to burden very young children with explicit details and then wonder why they say word and do things not acceptable in schools or in society. We cannot expect small children to cope with the amount of information government want primary school to implant into childish minds. One wonders how the ‘experts’ reconcile themselves with the statistic the more we have offered detailed sex education the quicker teenage pregnancies and diseases have spread. Recently, our children, when surveyed were deemed the unhappiest in Europe and now we want to burden innocent minds, minds that want to play with cars and dolls with detailed sex education at seven. We know there will be and always has been some very young children who are living in homes where they see many things no small child should, well lets find these children and lets put things right not try to help the minority by burdening the majority we are in grave danger of not helping any and distressing many. Information not really understood can frighten a small child and we would all do well to remember just how small a seven year old is and not be blind by aggressive marking that makes us believe children are small adults, it is cruel and will contribute to the erosion of childhood we are allowing to happen.

I really don’t understand the furore over this. Even when I read the article in the Mail (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1057397/Now-schools-introduce-sex-guide-year-olds.html ) it didn’t seem very controversial. The material in question asks 7 year-old children to label the parts of the body on a boy and a girl. Most 3 or 4 year-olds can do that verbally, so why the big fuss?
Hi Margaret,

Hello Margaret,
I am researching a documentary and would love to have a quick chat with you about a few of the issues you raise on your site. If you had a moment it would be great if you could call me on 020 7060 5466.
Many thanks Margaret – I hope we can speak soon.

In Northampton, we (a group of concerned mums) are undertaking a campaign against SRE in Primary schools as we have actually taken the time to explore the content of material the children are exposed to and are quite horrified, especially at the way parents are totally alienated from the whole process.
I totally agree with the above article as no provision has been made for those parents who wish this subject to remain within the context of the family home and the sole responsibility of the parents, not the state.
Having had a 2 hour long meeting with our school to find out more about the material, the meeting highlighted how different the views of the teacher can be to the views of the parent about what they feel is appropriate and what they feel “all kids know at that age anyway”. What I also found disturbing was that the teacher found it difficult to say certain ‘technical’ terms in front of us (adults), such as sexual intercourse and wanking, but teaches these terms with detailed descriptions to the children??
Legal and moral issues are blatantly ignored by the teaching of SRE, in fact I would go so far as to say this isn’t education, it’s mass ‘grooming’ by the state.
Leave your response!
