How to cultivate children's gender awareness? What principles should be followed in children's sex education
Every boy's growth is accompanied not only by his father's scolding, but also by his mother's crying. Of course, in sex education, the mother not only appears as the protagonist of crying in front of the child. For boys, the mother's kind education is undoubtedly the most important process in their sex education career. So, mothers' sex education for boys cannot be ignored.
Establishing a correct gender perspective
Children around the age of 3 have a clear understanding of whether they are male or female. Why do women wear skirts with long hair, dress up for family drinks, wear pants with short hair, and ride horses to fight? This is the beginning of a child's gender psychological development. At this stage, mothers must pay attention to two principles. One is to help boys protect their bodies, and the other is to give boys a positive impression of various parts of their bodies.
In fact, as an only child boy, he has been favored by his parents and elders since childhood. He has limited outdoor activities and enjoys reading comics and playing with computers at home. He has become accustomed to jumping and illogical thinking, and does not understand how to feel the people and things around him, easily becoming selfish and indifferent. Some boys reach the age of marriage, and their hearts are still like children, without the awareness of shoulders, unable to afford it. Therefore, mothers should cultivate boys' gender awareness as early as possible.
Natural transmission of 'sexual knowledge'
For sexual questions raised by children, mothers should try to tell them in simple language that these are natural things, so that children can have a correct and scientific understanding of the body. My mother spoke generously about breasts, penises, and other things, just like telling him it's an apple, bananas are natural. Of course, it is necessary to inform the child that the body parts of a person are private and cannot be exposed to the outside world. It would be awkward not to do that.
The mother first needs to correct her own thoughts and provide the boy with correct guidance. In fact, boys' questions about sex are just as simple as' what to eat tonight '. Mothers only need intuitive answers, and too in-depth answers can actually confuse boys' thoughts.
Strengthening educational ethics
Early sex education is related to the physical and mental health of boys, as well as the stability of their families and society. Sexual education includes multiple aspects such as sexual physiology, psychology, morality, and ethics, among which sexual morality is a very important part.
Sexual morality is the sum of social norms that regulate sexual behavior in humans. It can maintain the stability of social order and ensure the normal progress of social life. The content of sexual morality can usually be summarized as: sexual moral norms; Correct views on love, chastity, and fertility. Its core is love and respect.
Mothers need to convey positive information to boys through nonverbal behaviors, such as mutual respect, loyalty, shared household responsibilities, respect for the elderly and children, helping others, civility and politeness, conscientiousness and responsibility towards work, honesty and trustworthiness, which are the best education for children.

The age of three to seven is when children have the most sexual questions, and they may involuntarily ask their own questions. In this situation, it is best to provide appropriate answers using vocabulary that the child understands.
Utilize appropriate timing
For example, when a child is playing a game between a doctor and a patient, you can ask them in a very peaceful tone, and then wait for an opportunity to tell the child about the gender differences and the reasons why they should not touch someone else's private parts at will.
Individual guidance
When a child experiences abnormal behavior (such as frequent contact with their own organs), please contact them personally to avoid unnecessary troubles for the child.
Adopting a scientific name
