What is the primary force in sex education in a child's life?

Back to Exams

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Parents play a crucial role in providing foundational knowledge and values regarding sex education. They are typically the first source of information and guidance for children, shaping their attitudes and beliefs. While peers (B) can influence behaviors and attitudes, their information may be inconsistent or misleading. The school nurse (A) can offer support and resources but typically reinforces what parents teach rather than being the primary source. Media (D) can provide information but often lacks the context and personal touch that parents can offer, making them less effective as the primary force in a child's sex education.
