How to put children's sex education on the agenda is the main concern for parents now. Not only can children hear language, but parents also need to integrate sex education into their daily lives and guide their children from all aspects of life.
How to provide sex education for children?
1. Recognizing one's gender
After a child is born, regardless of gender, do not confuse the choice of naming, clothing, and daily necessities to prevent the child from developing ambiguous sexual awareness towards themselves and others from an early age, which may affect their sexual orientation.
2. Understanding Your Body
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.
3. Positively answering children's questions
When a child raises sexual questions, parents should not shy away. Answers should be made using language and methods that children can understand and accept, in order to address and satisfy their curiosity and knowledge desires.
4. Parents' own behavior is also important
Sincere, harmonious, and morally noble relationships between parents, setting a good example for their children, will make them fall in love with life, love life, and handle sexual issues correctly.
When educating children, it is important to pay attention to this point:
1. Appropriate age
In theory, there are gender differences between men and women, especially the first sexual characteristics. It is not a problem to answer before a child reaches puberty and development. From the current social and cultural situation, it is best to answer before the age of 5 when there are differences in the first sexual characteristics between men and women. Sex education is relatively advanced, but it cannot be separated from children's understanding ability. Parents should try to answer their children's questions in simple and understandable language.
2. Suitable methods
Before the age of 5, children can use their parents' bodies to speak and explain to them. But after the age of 5, using books, audiovisual materials, and other methods is more appropriate. Only by choosing the appropriate method can children better receive what sex education is.
3. Appropriate content
Children's sex education should focus on each age group. Simple questions such as gender knowledge should be addressed before the age of 5. Before puberty, sexual physiology education should be provided. During puberty, sexual psychology and sexual morality education should be provided. The appropriate content of the notification is the most correct choice for parents.
