Teaching Comprehensive Sex Education to Children

Comprehensive sex education for children involves teaching them about their body parts using correct terminology without shame, emphasizing the importance of empowerment and self-love. It also includes educating children about consent, starting with simple actions like hugs and teaching them that their body belongs to them.
