The Importance of Addressing Trauma in Sexual Education
It is crucial to address the trauma stemming from a lack of proper sexual education. Parents often react from their own moral perspectives, which can inadvertently lead to shame for children. Untethering a child's moral failure from a parent's identity is essential, allowing for open communication and support after incidents occur. Changing the narrative from a moral success or failure to one of guided learning and growth is vital for emotional and psychological well-being.
