age, it can be said that it should virtually begin from their
birth. From an early age, we need to make sure our
children know that the body is a wonderful gift from God,
and that all bodily functions and parts are normal and
nothing for which we should be ashamed.

or girls go through it at the same age.

complicated period in most families. Boys
and girls begin to separate themselves
from the family unit, to acquire
independence while they grow towards

sexual
awakening
 First stage: platonic crushes

• What it consists of: sexuality has not

yet entered the lives of boys and girls. It is
the stage in which prepubescent boys and
girls or at the beginning of puberty fall
madly and platonically in love.
 How to detect it: boys and, above all, girls
• become infatuated with actors, singers or
athletes in a platonic way but with great
intensity.

hang in their rooms

•
photos of that lovey

 Fourth stage BEGINNING OF SEXUAL LIFE
ACTIVE

•What it consists of: adolescents begin to

have sexual relations And in most societies
the current average age for those first
sexual relations is between 16 and 17
• How to detect it: if the
teenager does not have a good
communication with their parents in which
topics about sexuality are present, it will be
impossible for them to know when their
daughter or son begins to have sexual
relations.
AS A BOY/GIRL YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT;
• You have the power to decide.
• Your body is yours, no one has the right to touch it.
• You can reject an adult's proposals (if you don't like them, they scare
you, they make you feel uncomfortable)
you can reject them even if you know
them!!
• Know that you are not "rude/spoiled or
mean" if you ignore an adult if they ask
you to go somewhere alone and keep it
a secret.
'If someone makes you feel
uncomfortable, you should immediately
tell the person you trust most.
