My mum didn’t even teach me about periods. I received exactly zero information about any of this from my parents.My parents never spoke to me about this and still haven’t. If I’d have known earlier than 11/12 in school it wouldn’t saved me a lot of therapy and harm. Children exist in world created by adults and should be introduced to this, targeted at the appropriate level for each developmental stage.
Believe me my lack of knowledge did not keep me innocent. Please don’t conflate innocence with ignorance.
