Sexual Health
What should parents pay attention to in their children's sex education? Parents must know the principles of child sex education
Perhaps you have thought about many ways to correctly convey sexual knowledge to children, but you don't know where to start, right? This is foreseeable, as it often requires principles and skills to properly convey sexual knowledge to children; Otherwise, it is not only easy to cause misunderstandings, but also to achieve half the result with twice the effort.
What is the most effective sex education teaching method? Basically, it can include the following five principles:
1. Answering every question
The age of three to seven is when children have the most sexual questions, and they may involuntarily ask their own questions.
In this situation, it is best to provide appropriate answers using vocabulary that the child understands.
2. Utilize appropriate timing
For example, when a child is playing a game between a doctor and a patient, you can ask them in a very peaceful tone, and then wait for an opportunity to tell the child about the gender differences and the reasons why they should not touch someone else's private parts at will.
3. Individual tutoring
When a child exhibits abnormal behavior (such as frequently touching their own genitals), it is important to communicate with them privately to avoid unnecessary distress for the child.
4. Adopting a scientific name
When you answer children's sexual questions, you should use more academic names so that children do not mistakenly think that sex is very dirty.
5. Make good use of textbooks
Some sexual issues are difficult to explain clearly in spoken language. It is recommended that you use more books, pictures, videos, etc. as teaching materials.
Do you still think that sex education for children is a difficult task? However, for the sake of children's mental health, parents should pay attention to the scientific methods of sex education to avoid backfiring.
