Hello everyone, first time mother here. My child is turning 4 this year. When is a good time is to begin talking about sex ed? I recently read an article that says children start exploring their own bodies by the age of 4. Anyone has experience or resources to share? Appreciate it alot. Thank you.

Hi Clarayj89. Great question! SexEd can start at 4! Talking about body parts and how he/she is a boy and girl is already sexed. You can also talk about why we need to cover our body, especially their private parts. I like this local site which has many posts about sexed for different ages. www.family.org.sg/talkaboutsex
