What to do during the 5 key periods of sex education? 6 key points of children's sex education should be cautious
Many parents have misconceptions about children's sex education. Due to parents' prejudice and ignorance of sex education, they are always shy of saying the word 'sex' to their children. However, when children ask questions related to sex, they are perfunctory and avoid answering them, resulting in children's misinterpretation of sex. Even if some parents are willing to answer questions about sex or genitalia, they are not willing to directly name those nouns and instead use lies to perfunctory matters.
What are the five important periods of sex education
Oral stage Age stage: 3 months to 1 year old
When infants are about 3 months to 1 years old, their attraction needs are particularly prominent, and they like to attract fingers, which is the initial manifestation of their sexual desire in the Oral stage 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.
Phallic stage Age stage: 2-4 years old
Children enter the Phallic stage when they are 2 to 4 years old, and sex education in this period is the foundation of 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 timing in their daily lives to help their children understand which parts of their body should not be exposed, which parts are not good, etc.
Age stage during love: 4-6 years old
During this period, children begin to fall in love, also known as the love of a loving mother (loving father). This complex is prevalent in the process of children's Psychosexual development and is suppressed by the subconscious, which may become the psychological root of various mental diseases in the future.
