My 10 year old grandson was told he was going to be given a talk at school about puberty and that there would be some sexual content.
Now he is a sensitive little soul, who worries about everything, his father tried to talk to him but but found it difficult, so asked me to have a go.
Went through all the usual, spots, hair growing etc, also told him that he would start to get sexual feelings, which seemed to interest him and wanted to know more. I told him that eventually natural things would start happening to him, gave him a few details and mentioned wet dreams, usual question did I ever have them and what are they like.
I told him that I used to when I was very much younger and that they were wonderful and that I was only sorry that they have to stop.
Now the big day came and the young female teacher gave the talk, she touched on the dreams, my grandson told her what I had said and replied " they are not wonderful and can be very painful make you feel sick and dizzy".
Being like a lot of kids because his teacher said it, it's got to be right.
Now to my point, why was a young female given the job of trying to explain to a boy how he is going to feel, when she has no real idea. To me it's the same as a male teacher telling girls how they will feel when thay first start to develop boobs or have a period.
I think 10 is too young to be given sex education but I am known for being out of touch.
Any comments?
