Should mothers be responsible for sex education for girls? Seize 4 Points in Children's Sexual Education

Some people believe that sex education is adolescence education, and the target of sex education is only young people entering the puberty development period. This is actually a misunderstanding of the target of sex education. Mary, President of the US Council on Sexual Information and Education? Dr. Calder believes that for sex education, the period that may be particularly important and effective is before the age of 14, especially before the age of 5. The cultivation and education received during this period regarding "sex" will undoubtedly determine various aspects of "sex" for children, adolescents, and even the rest of their lives. Patients with "heterosexuality" and "homosexuality" in adult sexual disorders are essentially unable to correctly identify with their own gender.

The biological 'sex' of an individual may not always be consistent with their psychological 'gender' and sociological 'gender roles'. Only when an individual sees themselves as a man or woman and their behavior conforms to their own' gender identity 'is gender identity. Heterosexual and homosexual individuals exhibit abnormal phenomena in gender identity, manifested as gender role disorder or gender role reversal, often caused by negative parenting attitudes, ways, and expectations of parents and others towards them during childhood. Therefore, adolescent sex education should start from the early stages of children, from infancy, childhood to adolescence, with a focus on understanding the biological and social aspects of gender, forming correct educational goals such as gender roles and adolescent sexual adaptation, and providing different content of sex education for children of different age groups.

The existence of the following misconceptions in sex education directly affects the effectiveness of early childhood sex education, forming a sense of shame, disgust towards sex, and even a sense of guilt, leading to sexual psychological abnormalities in adulthood. From this, it can be seen that for the present and future of children, parents should break away from the misconceptions of sex education as soon as possible, establish correct concepts of children's sex education, treat children's sexual psychological needs correctly, and carry out scientific, appropriate, and effective sexual health education.

1. Gender perspective bias: confusing the physiological and social genders of men and women

Due to different expectations for boys and girls, there is a preference for boys over girls in the process of cultivating and educating children, which puts pressure on children to assume their future social roles. For example, we have always emphasized that boys are the pillars of society and should bear more social and family responsibilities; And the most important character of a girl is gentleness and gentleness, being a good husband and nurturing a child. Although society has developed and the social status of women continues to improve, many parents hope that "children become dragons, women become phoenix". However, in gender education, the gender concepts of male dominance and female subordination still deeply influence people's implementation of different education for boys and girls.
