I want to bless God for the opportunity to reach out to you all, believing that you will be inspired to share in the burden of reaching out to children all over the world with correct information on sexuality education.
I didn’t get to know how important it is to reach children from age 3 to 8 until I started hearing bad report at the counseling table at secondary schools. Many junior secondary School students told me how they have been sexually active and being abused while they were in nursery and pry school.
For such Our sexuality education was too late.
So in order not to arrive too late with the curative medicine, we need to act fast by empowering children from play group on this matter.
My mission had gone 5years among college students before realizing this. When we eventually got the vision to reach age 3 to 8, we had to trust God for the Know how. Praise God, He gave us the wisdom. So my mission tonight is not only to show you how important it is, but to show you how to engage children of that age group with results to the glory of God.
See for yourself
- When I go to spend holiday at my aunt’s place, her husband does show me film where they go naked and suck penis. Then he will put his penis in my private part. He has done it at least 2 times.
- I use to have sex with my cousin during the holiday.
- I am 11, I watched naked women on YouTube and I had sex with my 5-year-old sister for two weeks before my mum caught us.
- Daniel and Grace do come to our house to play. In the process, Daniel do lick my vagina.
- I am in pry 3, My Mum’s husband do take me to farm to put his penis in my vagina, then something like milk will come out of his penis into my vagina. He will clean it with osuka
- My brother in Senior Secondary II use to have sex with me whenever my parent is not at home.
- One mummy in our house use to suck my penis. I am 5.
We also realize that Parents are a problem to sexuality education of children. Why? Their dispositions and views regarding this exercise. I have come to classify parents under this 7 groups based on their dispositions
Let’s see them.
- Assumption
- Silence
- I am Shy
- I am lost
- They are too young
- It doesn’t matter
- The fear of God is enough.
Our goals in teaching sexuality education are as follows.
- They will value themselves as God unique creation, male or female
- They will OWN their body.
- They will know how to respond to any abuser.
Our method is SINGING AND STORY TELLING!!
Start by gender distinction.
- You are a boy! Or You are a girl; Let them know; God made them so and that they are special either as a boy or girl.
-
Tell the differences between a boy and a girl with emphases on the body parts of the body and significance of those parts. Call the parts by their real name, for example; Boys have penis and girls have vagina and they will have breast when they grow older.
-
Go ahead and tell them who it belongs to.
-
Teach them to create a boundary of privacy. And that includes not bathing with mummy or daddy or walking in the parlor with only pant or bathing together with other siblings.
-
Teach them how to mind what they watch and music they listen to or dance to. You know this could program their mind to do rubbish.
-
Teach them to report anyone trying to cross boundaries on their body. Assure them that you will protect them, even if the fellow says they will be killed. Yet God gave us a simpler way to take children ages 3 to 8through sexuality education.
We all have a role to play in empowering children with the right information about their sexuality so we can help them get secured and avoid coming from behind all the time. -
Tell them about the ultimate power, the power of relationship with God and walk with him through Jesus Christ and that will provide to behave well at all times. Our approach helped by God has produced fruits. More than a thousand report has been submitted to school heads, junior church heads and camo meetings organizers in many cities and villages in Nigeria.
