			When should I begin speaking to my children about * and sexual behaviors,
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:50
			there really isn't a particular age that a child approaches that now they become ready to hear or
have the * talk the birds and the bees that will be relevant to different kind of regions that you
live in the type of atmosphere and behaviors that are displayed by those who are around you, and the
maturity of your child and understanding those things on a cognitive behavioral and spiritual level.
Definitely, you want to know that your child number one knows a lot more about it than what you
actually assume. And think. Number two, that sexualized behavior is now much more prominent than it
was in the generation that I and you grew up in. Number three, there's so much sexualized behavior
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			that is flooding through
		
00:00:52 --> 00:01:37
			internet media, social media, Snapchat, even in things that might not be given to them by their,
their, their friends and fellow classmates. But by that the society that surrounds irrespective of
where you live, some of the number one search results for countries where Muslims are in majority
are things that relate to *, sexual behavior, and *. So don't have that perspective. That no
way my child has seen that no way that they've heard of that. The second thing that I want you to
keep in mind is that speaking about *, and inclining them towards * are two totally very
different things. So you want to find a level of training that equips you with what it is that you
		
00:01:37 --> 00:02:15
			want to say. And of course, in this short clip, there are just three things that I would remind you
of one, * is a beautiful thing when it is done in a pleasing way. It is something that earns us a
massive reward with a lot. Number two, we have to know that there are things that relate to
protected behaviors. And sometimes our children can be groomed by fellow peers by adults to do
things that they don't want to do. sexting and sending photos and lewd behavior are all examples of
it. Number three, warn them not just about the people who are standing in front of them, but the
virtual world which is which are wolves in sheep's clothing. The very last thing that I'll say to
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:31
			you is read read, read, listen, listen, listen. Listen to what your children have to say and read to
find out ways that you can equip yourself with the answers that are necessary. If you need to attend
a parent course parenting course. Make sure to do that in chop
