Six Education Points to Be Seized in Sexual Understanding: Three Misunderstandings to Pay Attention to in Adolescent Sexual Education

Adolescence is another peak period in a child's life curve, which can undergo significant physiological and psychological changes, leading to some confusion and troubles. As a parent, what knowledge should you share with your children and how can you help them spend their adolescence in a healthy way?

1. After the birth of a child, no matter what gender, the choice of name, clothing and Household goods should not be confused, so as to avoid the child forming a hazy sexual awareness of himself and others from an early age, thus affecting the child's sexual orientation.

2. When children can understand language, parents should integrate sex education into their daily lives, such as making clear gender distinctions in bathing, dressing, hair styling, and toy choices. Through books, picture books, movies, stories, and more, children can observe the growth and reproduction of animals and plants, gain a natural understanding of reproduction, accept nature, love others, understand the essence of life, and achieve sexual understanding.

3. Free exploration of one's own body is a good beginning for health education. Parents should choose appropriate opportunities in family life, such as taking a shower or before going to bed, to naturally let their children know about their bodies, especially to make them realize that the reproductive organs are no more mysterious than other organs of the human body, and to keep their children clean and cultivate good hygiene habits.

4. When children ask related questions, parents should not avoid using language and methods that the child can understand and accept to answer, solve and satisfy their curiosity and knowledge desire.

5. Common problems should be properly understood. How are people born? Starting from the fruit of plant flowering, it can be used to illustrate sexual and reproductive aspects, as well as to use demonstrative metaphors from animal reproductive activities. A brief introduction to the physiology of human reproduction can help children understand the problem. When conducting sex education, it is necessary to be honest and encourage children with less complex knowledge desires, naturally delaying specific details to be understood in their future lives.

6. The role model of parents' own behavior is also important. If the relationship between parents is sincere, harmonious, and morally noble, set a good example for children, let them fall in love with life, love life, and treat sexual issues correctly.
