I believe that parents feel very angry and painful when they see news of child sexual harassment and assault that pops up from time to time, and they are also worried about their children. Especially for China, the popularization of sex education has always been limited, and many parents find it too awkward to provide sex education to their children. They believe that they will naturally understand when they reach an age and choose to remain silent.
But in fact, for naive children, books about sex education only have simple knowledge, pictures, and text, without shyness, but instead make parents overly sensitive. In addition, sex education also includes physical, psychological, and moral education, and doing a good job in children's sex education is their protection. So desensitize yourself first! Provide sex education to children at an appropriate age to provide them with a healthier understanding of sexual knowledge.
Where does sex education for children start?
Firstly, children's sex education includes gender cognition and identification. It is important for children to identify with their own gender and also understand some differences between men and women, which need to be completed in the preschool stage. Parents should also make their children aware of their privacy and tell them how to protect their privacy and respect others.
Secondly, sex education can actually be integrated into daily life, as parents do not need to teach their children seriously, and naturally, it is better to have sex with their children. For example, when a child is interested in the differences between themselves and their gender partners, parents can promptly introduce the differences between men and women to the child, and when bathing the child, they can naturally introduce body parts to the child. Children are full of curiosity about the world, which is also an opportunity for parents to carry out sex education.
Finally, parents should do a good job in etiquette and emotional education, and not ignore their children's wishes and force them to kiss people, even those with close relationships such as elders and relatives. To give children the right to refuse intimacy is for the sake of safety, which we always care about but ignore. Avoid exposing children to unspeakable physical harm, but do not know how to protect themselves.
Many families provide sex education before same-sex couples, with daughters generally being taught by mothers and sons by fathers. However, it is ideal for both parents to educate their children together. Additionally, parents must lead by example. Because various factors in life can affect the formation of children's sexual ethics.
