How do parents guide adolescent children's mental health? Pay attention to two major misconceptions in family sex education for children

Adolescence is another peak period in the life curve of children, with significant physiological and psychological changes that cause confusion and annoyance. As a guardian, what kind of knowledge should children be taught and how to spend adolescence in a healthy way

How to Enable Children to Pass Adolescence Healthily

1. After a child is born, regardless of gender, there should be no confusion in choosing a name, clothing, or daily necessities to prevent the child from developing a sexual haziness towards themselves and others from an early age, which can affect their sexual orientation.

2. When children can understand language, parents should integrate sex education into their daily lives, such as making clear gender distinctions in bathing, dressing, hair styling, and toy choices. Children can also be guided to observe the growth and reproduction of animals and plants through books, art books, movies, storytelling, etc., so that they can develop a natural understanding of reproduction, thus enabling them to accept nature, love humanity, understand the essence of life, and achieve sexual self-awareness.

3. Free exploration of one's own body is a good starting point for healthy sex education. Parents should choose appropriate opportunities in family life, such as taking a shower or before going to bed, to naturally let their children know about their bodies, especially to make them realize that the reproductive organs are no more mysterious than other organs of the human body, and to keep their children clean and cultivate good hygiene habits.

4. When children ask related questions, parents should not avoid using language and methods that the child can understand and accept to answer, solve and satisfy their curiosity and knowledge desire.

5. Frequently encountered problems should be appropriately understood. How were people born? Starting from the fruit of plant flowering, it can be used to illustrate sexual and reproductive aspects, as well as to use demonstrative metaphors from animal reproductive activities. A brief introduction to the physiology of human reproduction can help children understand the problem. When conducting sex education, it is necessary to be honest and encourage children with less complex knowledge desires, naturally delaying specific details to be understood in their future lives.

6. The role model of parents' own behavior is also important. If the relationship between parents is sincere, harmonious, and morally noble, set a good example for children, let them fall in love with life, love life, and treat sexual issues correctly.
