Adolescence is another peak period in the life curve of children, with significant physiological and psychological changes that cause confusion and annoyance. As a parent, what knowledge should you tell boys and how can you help them pass through adolescence healthily?
1、 Understand the secondary sexual characteristics.
The most prominent change during adolescence is the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics. From the perspective of appearance, it is mainly manifested in physiological functions such as facial whiskers, laryngeal protrusions, rough voice, and body hair growth. Starting from the function, erections, ejaculation, and other phenomena can occur, indicating that male youth have matured and have fertility, becoming true males. The activation of sexual function has caused significant psychological changes, including the emergence of sexual consciousness, sexual dreams, and thoughts of the opposite sex, which are normal physiological and psychological phenomena.
2、 Properly handle ejaculation and masturbation.
Anyone who has watched 'Dream of the Red Chamber' knows that Baoyu woke up from too much fantasy and only felt wet mucus flowing out of his lower body. He blushed and wondered why he had such a child. As a parent, you should not let your child have such doubts about sexual dreams. Frequent ejaculation during sexual dreams is a normal physiological phenomenon, accounting for approximately 80% of unmarried male youth. Ejaculation can to some extent relieve tension in the body and cause physiological balance. It is not pathological and will not harm the mind. Under normal circumstances, it is generally around 2 or 3 times a month, occurring several times a week or almost every night, which is abnormal. Sometimes transparent liquid can flow out of the urethral opening, which can elongate the thread. That's urethral discharge, which is different from ejaculation and a normal phenomenon.
To prevent frequent ejaculation, children can be allowed to sleep in loose clothes, avoid covering with thick blankets, and avoid exposure to yellow and obscene calligraphy and painting.
Both men and women, driven by sex hormones, naturally produce sexual impulses during puberty. Some children use masturbation to release their energy and alleviate sexual tension. This is an inevitable reality, and parents must treat their children correctly.
3、 Help children shape healthy selves.
Adolescence is an important period for growing one's body, acquiring knowledge, and forming a worldview. Parents should grasp the direction and steer the boat of youth along a healthy path.
Firstly, mental health. When young people's self-awareness rapidly increases, moving from visual thinking to abstract thinking, parents should tell them more about scientific, advanced, and healthy new things. If there is suspicion, jealousy, rebellion, and other psychological issues, parents should calmly analyze and avoid rough treatment.
