Each era has its own impressions and values. Think about how you treated sex in the 1960s and 1970s. The more you understand a child's attitude, the clearer you will be about how to educate them. So, when should children's sex education be conducted?
Age stage of oral desire: 3 months to 1 year old
When babies are around 3 months to 1 year old, their attraction needs are particularly prominent. They like to attract their fingers, which is the initial manifestation of their libido during the oral period.
Physical contact between mother and child can increase the sensitivity of the child's nervous system and promote the differentiation and development of the child's brain. Children who have insufficient physical contact with adults suffer varying degrees of damage to their intelligence and sexual sensitivity.
Afraid of babies biting their fingers, do not force a ban. Instead, consider comforting the baby's nipples to meet the needs of the desire period.
Age stage of ambiguity: 1-2 years old
Generally, starting from the age of 1-2, children notice the physical differences between males and females. With the development of language ability, children aged 2-3 may ask awkward questions, and psychological setbacks during this period can affect their future growth.
One and a half years old is a great time to educate children on sexual physiology. If possible, it is also possible to have boys and girls of the same age bathe together, exposing their small bodies to identify differences in physiological structures and encourage them to observe the differences between each other and themselves.
Age stage of sexual bud stage: 2-4 years old
Children enter the sexual bud stage at the age of 2-4, and sexual education in this period is the basis for sexual maturity in the future. Many children start playing with their reproductive organs around the age of 2, which is their sexual game. A good way to avoid children playing with their genitals is to wear shorts and schedule colorful activities every day to divert their attention.
Parents can choose appropriate moments in their daily lives to make their children understand which parts of their body should not be exposed, not those that are not good, and so on.
Age stage of attachment: 4-6 years old
During this period, children began to develop their 'love', also known as the Oedipus (Oedipus) complex. This complex is common in the development of children's sexual psychology, which is suppressed subconsciously and may become the psychological root of various mental illnesses in the future.
A warm and happy family has a profound impact on children, becoming a model of good children. Same sex parents are role models for children's gender awareness formation, while opposite sex parents are role models for children to learn to interact with the opposite sex. So whether it's a mother or a father, they should actively cooperate, raise their children together, and provide a good environment for their growth.
