As children are exposed to sexual content earlier due to the internet and a more sexualized culture, they often begin to inquire about sex at ages seven to nine. Dr. David Coleman suggests that this developmental stage is favorable for parents to discuss such topics candidly, using accurate terminology for body parts. However, many parents find themselves unprepared for these discussions, highlighting the need for guidance on how to effectively communicate about sensitive subjects with their children.
Dr. David Coleman emphasizes that around the ages of seven to nine, children are less self-conscious and it’s crucial to provide clear, factual answers to their questions regarding sex.
With the prevalence of the internet and a more sexualized culture, children are becoming exposed to sexual concepts at increasingly younger ages, prompting the need for informed discussions.
