Misunderstanding of Children's Sexual Education Concepts: Parents Should Timely Correct Sexual Knowledge
Every child's enlightenment education is a story, and parents love to tell their children storybooks. Children's storybooks do not involve sexual knowledge, but fairy tale characters related to the story, such as Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, etc., teach children how to recognize kindness and ugliness, overcome difficulties, be honest and trustworthy, overcome jealousy, and other important meanings, which make children feel the existence of sex.
These sources undoubtedly play a good auxiliary role in children's sexual awareness, and true sexual awareness comes from children's physical and mental growth. In the process of continuous growth, young children's hearts and physiology are constantly changing, accompanied by their curiosity and exploration of various things. At this time, male and female young children are aware of gender differences and exhibit different psychological states.
Due to the fact that female toddlers do not have a penis and squat to urinate, they develop a sense of inferiority. Male toddlers who exhibit obedience and gentleness have a penis, show pride and love, and are eager to take the lead. As psychoanalytic socio-cultural scholar Horney said, in today's male dominated society, women's jealousy of the social privileges and status connected to the penis, and their desire for cultural male superiority, is not just physiological.
Young children need to know the correct sexual knowledge
Austrian psychologist Hackard said in his work that the secret to helping young children is not to lie, not to evade their problems, and to know what lies behind their problems. As long as we explain what we want to know to him, we will know what he can understand. Gossip and fabricated sexual knowledge are the most harmful.
Parents must be careful not to impart unnecessary or inappropriate sexual knowledge to young children, do not exceed their developmental stage and understanding range, do not tell them sexual knowledge too early, and must impart and explain it according to the specific needs of young children's age. It is necessary to inform young children in a way that they accept and understand. Telling them that sexual knowledge beyond their age and beyond their grasp can arouse inappropriate interest and curiosity in young children. When explaining sexual knowledge to young children, be serious, rigid, and lengthy
Even if parents do not know sexual knowledge, do not lie to young children. If you don't know, you don't know. Put down your parents' face, admit your limited knowledge in front of young children, deceive and pretend not to know, and the likelihood of bringing bad results and impact to young children is high.
