Sexual Health
What kind of work should parents do in children's sex education? Frankly answer children's sex questions
Children around the age of 3 clearly know whether they are male or female, but why do women wear skirts with long hair, dress up for family drinks, men wear pants with short hair, and ride bicycles to fight? This is the beginning of children's gender psychological development. At this stage, mothers must pay attention to two principles. One is to help boys protect their bodies, and the other is to give boys a positive impression of various parts of their bodies.
In fact, as an only child boy, he has been favored by his parents and elders since childhood. He has limited outdoor activities and enjoys reading comics and playing with computers at home. He has become accustomed to jumping and illogical thinking, and does not understand how to feel the people and things around him, easily becoming selfish and indifferent. Some boys reach the age of marriage, but their minds are still like children, without a sense of "shoulder" and unable to bear the heavy burden. Therefore, mothers should cultivate gender awareness in boys as early as possible.
What Parents Should Do in Sexual Education for Children
Natural transmission of 'sexual knowledge'
For sexual questions raised by children, mothers should try to tell them in simple language that these are natural things, so that children can have a correct and scientific understanding of the body. My mother spoke generously about breasts, penises, and other things, just like telling him it's an apple, bananas are natural. Of course, it is necessary to inform the child that the body parts of a person are private and cannot be exposed to the outside world. It would be awkward not to do that.
The mother first needs to correct her own thoughts and provide the boy with correct guidance. In fact, the boy's sexual problems are as simple as what to eat tonight. Mothers only need intuitive answers, and too in-depth answers can actually confuse boys' thoughts.
Strengthening educational ethics
Early sex education is related to the physical and mental health of boys, as well as the stability of their families and society. Sexual education includes multiple aspects such as sexual physiology, psychology, morality, and ethics, among which sexual morality is a very important part.
Sexual morality is the sum of social norms that regulate sexual behavior in humans. It can maintain the stability of social order and ensure the normal progress of social life. Usually, the content of sexual morality can be summarized as the correct views on love, chastity, and fertility in sexual moral norms. Its core is love and respect.
Mothers need to convey positive information to boys through nonverbal behaviors, such as mutual respect, loyalty, shared household responsibilities, respect for the elderly and children, helping others, civility and politeness, conscientiousness and responsibility towards work, honesty and trustworthiness, which are the best education for children.
