Who is responsible for teaching sexual education to children, and what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?
Unfortunately, no child is too young to experience sexual assault, so no child is too young to learn about consent and how to maintain their own boundaries. It can be as simple as teaching them that no relative can guilt them into a hug if they are not comfortable with hugging. As the child gets older, the lessons can be more specific: that consent is freely given rather than coerced, or the flaws in sexual depictions on television, which often lack clear consent or realistic expectations for the reality of the decisions made.
If you support the teaching of Sex Ed, please answer the following question: Sexual education should include these topics (list all that apply and add your own, if needed) -- Physical and emotional health outcomes; contraceptive methods; consent; abstinence; sexual orientation and gender identity; human anatomy/the reproductive system; abortion methods and side effects; stages of pregnancy and fetal development; sex acts and pleasures of sex
