Do you agree or disagree?

Agree. It’s not proper ‘sex’ education.

It’s more learning about different types of relationships, love etc.

Agree. Good touch bad touch, understanding their bodies (some girls get periods younger and omg sudden bleeding without knowing it's a thing? ). Basic anatomy. Respecting personal boundaries (consent) and only doing what you're comfortable with (autonomy). Resisting emotional manipulation.

Sounds great to me.

I was just away to type this but I’m drowsy, so this

When I was working I overheard a primary two girl (age six) explaining consent to the primary ones. It was really sweet.

Of course this is all stuff that should be taught at home, but sometimes it does help to be taught things at school, as a reminder (if they have been taught, not all have).

I bought my girls books when they were around 7 one was Hair In Funny Places and the other Mummy Laid An Egg! We then went through the books together answering questions, having a giggle of the funny cartoons and plenty of ‘ewwws’ but it made them feel like they can talk openly and ask plenty of sometimes very interesting questions suck as ‘do the balls go in as well’ ! It’s important for kids to learn about their bodies and any changes that will happen and also about relationships etc , but just keep it light and don’t overload too early with things they don’t need to know!

When I was eight my mum gave me a book all about periods. I remember reading it every night and hiding it under my pillow. I didn’t get my period until I was 12, but both of my younger sisters were still in primary school, and coincidentally, both of my parents were away in hotels without them when it happened.

They had both been passed down the book so I was able to sit with them and look through the book and ask if they had any questions about anything.

Folk still concerned about this should really read the statutory guidance. It'll soon assuage your fears.

My youngest sister still has hers as she’s more shy than me and my other sister so prefers to read it if she’s curious about anything, but my god it was a life saver! I was extremely hungover when I got phoned and asked to go down to the house, armed with painkillers, pads, chocolate and a hot water bottle

I agree with the way 'my' under nines were taught. It was basic and I think more to do with teaching the kids that it is 'their' body and should not be touched in anyway shape or form until the age of consent. Teaching them about relationships and also how their bodies will change over the next few years. Certainly not actual sex education that I was taught in year 7 back in 1990.

Exactly, which is why it helps in my opinion.

Agree!

Teaching about healthy relationships, self-awareness and respect are crucial.

I work in a secondary school, and we certainly have 11 year olds who are scared when their periods start and have no idea what to do.... Or who are worried when pubic hair grows... Because nobody has told them.

Age appropriate education about bodies, body autonomy, consent, relationships and puberty are very important.

And i

There is already a mountain of evidence to show that countries with comprehensive sex/relationship education have much lower rates of teen pregnancy, unwanted pregnancy, STI and so on.
