How do parents provide sex education during adolescence? Experts have proposed five small suggestions
Nowadays, society is very complex and full of many dangers. If one does not provide sex education to their children, they are vulnerable to external harm. Recently, incidents of sexual harm to minors have occurred, and avoiding such incidents from happening to their children is a concern for all parents. After a child enters adolescence, they feel a bit rebellious. How to make a child listen to sex education and become a headache for guardians? Let's investigate together.
What aspects should parents pay attention to when providing sex education to their children?
1. Don't let children engage in sexual activity too early
After puberty, it is very normal for boys and girls to have Libido. However, this age group is not suitable for sexual activity. Firstly, immature thinking and inability to take responsibility for one's own actions. Secondly, premature sexual activity can delay a child's growth and development, leading to illness. However, in terms of speaking, it is important to pay attention to certain language skills, not to speak too rigidly, nor to use a commanding tone. Instead, use friends' methods to help children understand the importance of this matter.
2. How to use contraception
Sometimes parents can ensure that their children do not have sex early, but in the event of sexual assault, they can teach their children effective contraception to minimize harm to their children. If there are girls in your family, you must teach them self-esteem and self love, and not provoke those who are not kind. If you encounter something, you must handle it calmly and avoid conflicts with others. If you make any mistakes, you must immediately run away. Some parents wear condoms for their children, which may seem strange, but they work very hard.
3. Respect emotions
After entering adolescence, it is very normal for some children to develop a liking for the opposite sex. Some children have early love, and as parents, they must guide them not to die with a stick, but to force a breakup. Respect their emotions, gradually understand them with emotion and reason, tell them that the most important thing at present is their studies, and let them make an agreement to continue their relationship after entering university. During this period, children hope that their parents will treat them as adults, but their tyrannical behavior will lead to very strong opposition.
4. Guide them to understand knowledge related to ejaculation and menstruation
After entering puberty, both boys and girls mature, boys begin to ejaculate, and girls begin to menstruate. One thing that troubles them is masturbation. Having a desire is reasonable, but one can become addicted to it. Parents should guide them moderately, telling them why they experience ejaculation, why girls menstruate, why they have sexual desire, and why masturbation is normal. Some children regret and worry after masturbation, which has already affected their normal learning and life. Parents should pay special attention to this and provide more guidance.
5. Teaching and Interacting with the Opposite Sex
When children are young, there is no clear gender concept. Boys and girls play together, but after entering puberty, many children are very sensitive and have many troubles when interacting with the opposite sex. Parents should pay attention to guidance and teach them how to get along with the opposite sex, so that they will not harm each other's friendship, nor break free from constraints and become childish in love. Whether boys or girls, they should pay attention to the boundaries of interacting with the opposite sex, protect themselves, and respect each other.
Adolescent sex education is a headache for every parent, fearing that they may have problems affecting their children in sex education.
