How to provide sex education by age group? This is the best way to provide sex education
Many parents believe that sex education needs to be copied based on a template, but the fact is not that. Sex education needs to be flexible and age groups are extremely important. Today, experts will take a look at how to carry out sex education by age group.
Make good use of touch and visual education for different age groups
The question of sex needs to be answered. Experts believe that children's associations are rich. By using metaphorical methods to answer, children may have more questions, I think it's important to be honest and straightforward. You can give a simple answer, but you can't deceive or blurt it out. For example, if a child asks' Where do I come from ', you can tell them that their father and mother are in love, and their father's organs enter their mother's organs. One of their father's sperm and one of their mother's eggs combine to form an embryo, and the embryo grows up and becomes a baby
But how can children understand what "body organs" are? Experts say that before the age of 3, parents can take a shower with their child, let the child touch their parents' bodies, tell them 'this is the penis, this is the vagina, this is the breasts', and wash them well to maintain hygiene. Some children may touch their sexual organs, and when parents discover it, they beat and scold, saying it's dirty. If the child agrees, there will be many problems with their sexual concepts.
Parents and teachers should pay attention to dividing children into different age groups and providing targeted and correct guidance when teaching pure sexual physiological knowledge. There is a schedule for sex education for children in foreign countries, which is based on different stages of their development, such as 0-3 years old, 3-7 years old, 7-12 years old, 12-17 years old, and should let children know what kind of sexual knowledge, and there is a detailed arrangement
Lack of sexual morality in sex education is extremely dangerous
An expert from the Liaoning Provincial Institute of Education pointed out that when implementing sex education in primary and secondary schools, it is necessary to pay attention to the education of children's sexual morality. "Lack of sexual education is extremely dangerous." He believes that conducting sex education in primary and secondary schools is a good thing, but the main emphasis on sexual physiology knowledge is biased. Children should be taught how to respect and care for the opposite sex, how to treat sexual activities correctly, and how to maintain sexual psychological health. Adolescent sex education not only refers to sexual physiological knowledge, but also includes gender education, sexual health education, sexual psychology education, sexual beauty education, sexual morality education, etc. Domestic and foreign facts have shown that the consequences of lacking sexual morality content in sex education are extremely dangerous.
The earlier sex education is implemented, the better
Professor Wang Jiamian, the leader of the National Research Group on Mental Health Education for Primary and Secondary School Students and the Naval Dalian Naval College, pointed out that parents are the enlightening teachers of children's sex education, and the role of parents is undoubtedly the most important in sex education before the age of 7. In order for children to develop into normal, healthy, and happy adults, sex education should be implemented as early as possible. Sex education starts with sexual awareness, and children should understand that sex is a good thing and a fair and upright thing from an early age. Therefore, a warm and harmonious atmosphere in the family, as well as all intimate behaviors between parents and their children, are the best sex education for children.
