It can be unsettling when our kids use words like fuck, gay, and sex! Or how are babies made?
So how should a parent respond? And why does it matter?
The F Word
Happy Uncle, Diya is playing that song on Alexa!
Which one beta?
Arey that one A B C D E F U jo F word se start hota hai?
I said ok beta.
Usko yeh song bajana allowed hai kya uncle?
Beta maine suna nahin hai. Mein sun ke batata hoon. Ok?
Ok uncle.
Yeh bol ke woh ladki chali gayi.
Agar aapne ghar pe thode bachey hai aur aapne yeh song nahin suna hai to sun lijiye kyonki chance hai aapke bachey to sun rahe hai.
Aap ek curious parent hai aur agle 5 min hum curious bachon ke baare mein baat karenge.
Ek do mahine pehle jab sone ki tayari chal rahi thi aur neend bass aane hi waali thi to meri beti ne merese bola, dadda. I said yes beta. Can I ask you a question?
Maine bola, poocho beta.
"Dadda, do you know the F word?"
To maine kaha, kaunsa word beta. F se to bahut saare words hote hai.
To usne mereko dekha ke shayad mein usko taang kheench raha hoon. Par jab usko laga mein seriously pooch raha hoon to boli dadda wahi jismein yeh sign bhi hota hai aur middle finger chupke se dikhane lagi. Mein nahin bol sakti. Kissi ko nahin bolna chahiye woh word.
I said, ok beta.
Aacha ruko dadda, mein spell karti hoon - f u c k
Aapne suna hai?
To maine bola haan beta maine suna hai. Par tumne kahan suna?
Dadda, maine school mein suna. Mere ek dost ne yeh sign mujhe bataya aur bola ke doosre dost ko dikhao. Lekin doosri dost gussa ho gayi aur usne jaa ke teacher ko bata diya.
Aacha to phir kya hua?
Teacher ne mujhe bula liya aur poocha ke yeh word mujhe kahan se pata laga. To maine bola mere dost ne bataya.
Phir?
To teacher ne mere dost ko bola liya aur usse poocha ke yeh word kahan se pata laga. To mere dost ne bataya ke use ek aur dost se pata laga.
Phir?
To teacher ne usko bhi bula liya. Aur phir sabko bola ke yeh word nahin use karna chahiye. Bahut saare logon ko yeh word nahin aacha lagta hai. Aisa hai kya dadda?
To maine bola: haan beta, other people may not like it.
To meri beti boli: par dadda can I say this word once. Ek baar bolun.
Maine bola bolo.
To usne bola aur uske baad khushi khushi so gayi.
Yeh kahani mein isliye suna raha hoon kyonki aise words jo humko aachey nahin lagte yeh bachon ki zindagi mein aaj nahin to kall aayenge hi. Aur jab aayenge to hum us samay unke saath kaisa vayavahar karte hai, uspe depend karta hai ke aapke bachey uske baare mein aapse aage chalkar baat karenge YA usko chupayenge.
Pehli baat yeh samajne ki hai ke bache ke dimaag mein fuck ko lekar kuch nahin hai. Jo problem hai woh hum badon ke dimaag mein hai. Aur agar humein react kiya aisa koi word jaise fuck, mc, bc sun ke arey yeh kya bol rahe ho to dabba band, bacha uske baad na aapke saamne bolega, na aapse poochega.
Lekin agar hum fuck jaise words ki simple definition seekh lein to hum apne bachon ko simply samjha sakte hai.
Jaise ke agar aapke bachey ne poocha

Yeh simple tareeke hai jis se hum bachon ke sawalon ka jawaad de sakte hai. Jab bachey sawaal poochtey hai to humein lagta hia ke shayad lamba explanation dena padega, Lekin kissi bhi bachye ko long explanation nahin chahiye hota hai. Jitna simple aur sahi rakhein utna better.
Aur agar aapko nahin samaj mein aa raha hai ke kaise answer karoon ya nahin pata hai to aap bol sakte hai ke I don’t know. Mujhe nahin pata. Mein pata karte bataoonga.
Aur phir pata kar ke bata dijiye.
Kyonki kabhi bhi aisa nahin hoga ke ek din bacha aayega aur bolega, mummy papa aaj mujhe aap sex ke baare mein batao. Hoga aisa ke Bacha kahin se kuch sunega, usko jigyasa hogi to woh aapse poochega. Aap achey se aaraam se answer doge, to agli baar woh waapis poochega. Aise dheere dheere uska knowledge badta jayega.
Yeh ho sakta hai ke aapke ghar pe aisa mahual nahin hai aur aapka bacha bada ho raha hai. Kyonki sex education important topic hai, to aap bhi bachey ke pass ja ke usse pooch sakte ho ke do you know what is sex ya sex ke around aapko koi bhi sawaal hai dimaag mein to merese aap pooch sakte ho.
Sex education, words like fuck, gay, inko hamare bachon se sun ke hamare dimaag mein uthal puthal ho sakti hai. Is uthal puthal ko hum rok sakte hai thoda sa preparation kar ke. Simple definitions seekh ke taaki kabhi bhi hamare bachey ko koi sawaal ho to woh hum se pehle poochey, kissi aur se nahin.
Aap ek curious parent hai. Aapne mere saath apne bachon ke liye 5 min bitaye, iske liye mein aapka sukhrguzaar hoon.
Phir milenge.
