What is the importance of sex education for small children?

Truthful sex education for children nurtures trust and understanding, while lies breed suspicion and shame. Embrace the reality of life’s sexuality, for only in honesty can we empower their journey.

— Osho
According to Osho, children deserve truthful, simple sex education because truth never harms, untruth does. Lying about sex betrays their trust, breeds suspicion, and later cripples their ability to trust parents, lovers, and spiritual guides. Since life is sexual and children are perceptive, tell them plainly “as it is,” normalizing sexuality and preventing shame, rebellion, and lifelong distrust.

Tell kids the truth about sex in clear, kind words so they trust you and don’t grow up confused or ashamed.
