"Through The Eyes Of A Child"


Have you ever looked into the eyes of a child? what do you see? for me, each time I look into a child eyes I see innocence and unalloyed trust, pure and simple. Children totally trust their parents, particularly their mothers, they believe every word that comes from their mother's mouth. .............

Children are very delicate  and very sensitive.When it comes to teaching them sex education. As parent we should be mindful of how we pass message across to our Children. 

I remember the story of my friend Phil. Phil have a six year old daughter called Becky, who still shares the same room with them. Whenever they watch movies together and there is a lovemaking scene, Phil would tell her daughter that love making is evil, that those who indulge in it are bad and evil people. For that singular reason, Becky would often hide her face when she see such scene on TV, and it it was too much, she would either switch to  another channel or leave the room.
Then one faithful day, Phil husband wanted to travel and they decided to make love before traveling, so she dressed Becky for school and as she went downstairs for the driver to take her to school, Phil and her husband settled down to make love. They were already on it when they heard a small knock. They quickly dressed up and opened the door, lo and behold, Becky was sitting at the stair case, weeping her out. "What is it Becky?" Phil asked her daughter.  Her daughter said to her" I saw you, I saw  everything" Phil was too shocked to utter a word.  Becky had knocked and tried opening the door at the same time, and seeing that it was locked,she peeped through the hole by the door and saw Phil and her husband  in the act"

Phil was filled with shame, wondering what was going on,on her child mind. 

Welcome back readers, from the story above, that child  must have concluded that her parents were evil people, since her mum had once told her that people making love are evil people, that must be why she was crying so hard. Children are innocent and trusting, but one can easily lose their trust of they begin to doubt your words. Now the question is? how do we manage our children, when it comes to Sex education, when is the right age to start teaching them sex education? do we have to wait until they are 18? or do we start as soon as they are 2 upwards? Readers what are your opinion??? also you can share child training techniques on this blogs so we parents we learn and train our children the proper way. The bible says" Train Up a child the way he should grow, and when he is old he won't depart from it"..... In conclusion,  wouldn't the world be a better place if we all saw things through the eyes of a child? Cheers.
