How to tell children about sex is a worry for many parents. According to experts, when young children are about 2 years old, they can distinguish their gender by themselves, whether it is male or female. In fact, the maturation process of young children's psychological development is different from their physical growth.
According to Freud's Psychosexual development, the master of psychology, sex appeal first appears in the lips, anus, urethra and other excretory organs of children aged one to three. From birth to around one year old, babies are sensitive to all tactile and pressure sensations near their lips and tongue. Sucking fingers can produce pleasure, and the mother's breastfeeding movements can also be stimulated and excited. Satisfied infants contribute to the development of normal gender role behavior; Babies who lack satisfaction will not only suffer from malnutrition physically, but also develop mental deficiencies, distrust of others, and pessimistic thoughts and behaviors towards life.
Children aged one to two are happy with the sensation and tactile pleasure of muscle activity near the anus, bladder distension, bowel movements in the rectum, and the pleasure of defecation. Around the age of 2 and a half, children who focus their interest on the genitalia (penis, etc.) sometimes expose this part for exploration and feel happy through this action. At this time, children attach great importance to their genitals and begin to experience a strong fear of loss, which leads to the story of a loving father falling in love with a mother appearing in teenagers and girls.
After the age of 3, children's sexual curiosity becomes more apparent, and at this time, parents must cooperate and use their wisdom to jointly undertake the work of early childhood sex education.
2、 Teach children the correct knowledge
Since children have sexual issues, how should parents talk to them? Experts point out that in traditional education, parents always avoid discussing sexual issues with their children and let them explore on their own. Many children make mistakes due to temporary sexual curiosity. In fact, when children are young, they can naturally discuss sexual issues with them. In addition, parents should also pay attention to their words, deeds, and privacy at home, so that their children can develop good habits and be careful not to be harmed by bad people.
1. Answer questions based on the child's age
The child asked, "Mom, where do I come from At this point, you can simply answer the child: "You grew up in your mother's womb." Answer this question according to the child's age, but there is no need to explain some small details to the child clearly; But it is also not allowed to prevaricate with children, and the most important thing is to let them know that you are willing to answer the questions they ask.
