[Jagriti55] Let's Talk, Let's Listen, Let's Converse 👂

In a way, sex education is not about education, but about our sexuality, about us.

In a way, education is not about studies, subjects, degrees, but about our life, about us.

John Sinclair, the poet, once announced, at Harvard, a workshop on Writing. The huge hall was teeming with people, some even hanging on the windows for want of space.
Sinclair walks in and asks, "How many of you want to learn how to write". Every hand in the hall goes up.

He continues, "Then go home and write". And saying that he walks out. End of workshop.

Isn't that true about almost everything - we just need TO DO. Learning, understanding and growth will follow. And so will happiness.

When it comes to preparing children for sexuality (or sex-education) - its the same. The problem is that, with children, we do nothing about this aspect of our life.

All we need to do is TALK, Converse.
Talk regularly, talk whenever opportunity knocks, talk when opportunity doesn't.

Here, (and in most cases in life) Talk does not mean giving gyan, rather means to listen, converse, discuss, reflect WITH the child.

The more we will listen, converse, discuss and reflect the more our beliefs will also open up. Remember if our windows are open, fresh breeze will invariably come in, making our weather and 'whether' both more salubrious.
