How to teach children to protect their sexual organs? Early implementation of child sex education

For young children, sexual organs must be carefully cared for to avoid genital malformations. As parents, we must instill in our children the concept of protecting their private parts.

How to protect children's sexual organs?

1. It is best to clean the glans and foreskin every two days

Children should not intentionally clean their glans and foreskin before the age of one, as premature cleaning can harm their reproductive organs. After the age of one, clean every two days, and pay attention to the softness of the movements during cleaning.

2. Do not squeeze for cleaning

The sexual organs of children are filled with many fibrous tissues and meridians, completely exposed to the outside of the body and very fragile. Some newborn mothers are too nervous during bathing and accidentally harm the child.

3. Concealed parts should also be cleaned with emphasis

Areas that are prone to hiding dirt, such as the genitalia, should be slowly lifted up and washed to the roots when showering the child. The area under the scrotum is also a hidden area, including near the groin, where sweating or urine accumulation is frequent.

4. The water temperature for bathing should not be too hot

As is well known, male sperm are afraid of high temperatures, but in fact, the same goes for children. The temperature of the bath should be controlled between 38 and 40 degrees Celsius, which can prevent scalding by hot water and protect the child's scrotum.

5. Reduce fever as soon as possible during high fever

Children staying at 38.5 ℃ for 2 hours can affect the spermatogenic function of the testicles. Therefore, when male infants have a high fever, it is necessary to immediately reduce the fever and actively prevent colds and fever.

6. Do not apply refreshing powder and dew

Refreshing powder and dew are irritating, making wet diapers even wetter. Refreshing powder is also prone to clumping with sweat and clogging pores.

7. When wearing diapers, the penis should be facing downwards

When wearing diapers for a child, be sure to press down on the child's penis, which can be pressed against the scrotum and keep the penis in a natural drooping state.

Kind reminder

As parents, it is important to protect their children's genitals in order to prevent harm. Additionally, it is important to help children understand their gender correctly. It is important to ensure that children wear clothing and toys that are suitable for their gender, handle problems in different ways, and gradually develop correct gender attitudes. Parents should use selective encouragement methods to make their children aware of gender and behavioral relationships in their daily lives, and guide them to interact with peers of the same sex.
