What to do if your child catches you having sex

This is every parent’s worst nightmare – your child has a glimpse of something they can never see when your bedroom door squeaks in the middle of your breath.

“Don’t panic,” Dr. Nan Wise, a sex therapist and neuroscience researcher, told Purewow recently in an interview.

“This could happen sometime when you’re a parent…stop, take a deep breath and keep that in mind before you.”

According to experts, one thing you shouldn’t say is anything that suggests shame, fear or what your child has done wrong.

“No matter how old your child was, don’t yell, get angry or be ashamed,” writes Dr. M. Lis (aka Shameless Psychiatrist), today, according to today’s psychology.

“Sex is natural… children immediately respond to your emotional responses, and your behavior is weird, the more they will be afraid or ”

Instead, Wise recommends making sure your child is OK.

Ask “How are you?” Take the time to write your own time—and pull the bedspread back to where it belongs. Then, calmly escort them.

For toddlers? Gently guide them back to the bed.

For a big kid? “Everything is good, dear. We just need some privacy. Wait for me outside and I’ll talk to you.”

If your child is old enough to record what’s going on – honesty is your best friend.

“When we have some private time, you walk into mom and dad, and sometimes adults who love each other have this physical connection…but it’s just for adulthood,” Wise encouraged.

Liz agrees that honesty is the key here.

“We are having sex, and that’s what adults care about each other. But we need privacy, which is why we lock the door or close it. That’s why you should always knock on it,” she advised parents.

If you forgot to lock the door, own it gently.

Wise said: “Just assure them that they did nothing wrong and then calmly say, ‘Oh, you know we should lock the door.’
