Your Child and Sex 27–LIFE IS GOOD(8-12years)
A lot of fathers wonder what to teach their daughters at this age about puberty and many have asked me if it is safe for fathers to teach their daughters about puberty? While we know that women do a lot of these teachings (even though what many teach is not adequate as well) it is not out of place for you to know what to teach about menstruation as a man and the simple way to teach your daughter this is that the ovaries begin to release eggs and if the egg connects with sperm from a man’s penis.
It develops into a baby inside the uterus. To prepare for this a thick layer of tissue and blood cells builds up in the uterus. If the egg doesn’t connect with a sperm the body doesn’t need these tissues and cells so they turn into a fluid that looks like blood and flow out of the vagina.
The period therefore is the monthly discharge of this fluid out of your body. This should be sufficient enough at this level. I know your child will ask a lot of questions here and be ready to answer however you need to prepare your child for the emotional changes at this age as well as some of the sex myths and lies his friends are likely to peddle (if you have the basic sexuality education kit this is where to give your child strictly for boys, girls and undressing sex books).
Here are a few myths and lies :
Accumulation of sperm can cause backache,
If you don’t have sex you may run mad,
Love is expressed only through sex,
It takes more than once to impregnate a lady,
You can’t contract HIV with a virgin,
Women like it when they are forced or drugged,
You are missing out if you don’t do it.
Reiterate the power of 1 to your child ‘That everyone is doing it doesn’t make it right; that you alone are doing it doesn’t make it wrong; I will stand out becos am a king/queen
To be continued
I honour you.
