Children grow up every day and are curious about sexual issues. When children ask their guardians about sexual issues, many guardians feel confused. On the one hand, I feel very embarrassed, and on the other hand, I don't know how to explain to my child. How should parents respond when children ask sexual questions to their parents? Next, let's investigate together.
When a child asks sexual questions to a guardian, how should the guardian answer them?
1. Don't have negative emotions
When a child asks a question to their guardian, it indicates that they have a pure curiosity, and the guardian should not have negative emotions when answering. Especially when a child first asks a related question, if the parents show strong dislike or other negative emotions, the child may think that sex is not a good thing, which is a deviation. Parents should slowly answer their children's questions with a smile. If they cannot find the answer to the question for a while or do not know how to explain it to their children, they should apologize to their children and discuss when to give them a specific answer.
2. Parents should have a good reserve of relevant knowledge
When children reach the age to ask such questions, parents should prepare relevant knowledge in advance in order to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Sexual education is divided into multiple aspects, including knowledge of sexual physiology, sexual psychology, sexual hygiene, sexual development, and the formation of the three sexual views. Parents must have a systematic knowledge reserve. Therefore, you can buy many professional books to study, and you can also participate in online courses for target education. Parents must pay attention to this matter. Only by providing sex education to children can they avoid being harmed by external factors in the future.
3. Communication between Chingusai
As children gradually grow up, especially after entering adolescence, they will have a rebellious mentality, and they will involuntarily follow their parents and make them angry. But sex education during adolescence is also very important, and parents must pay attention to good communication with their children and communicate through friends. If the child is unwilling to communicate, parents can choose to use letters instead of face-to-face communication, so that the child can also feel more at ease.
4. Integrating sex education into daily life
Faced with sexual questions raised by children, guardians should enjoy education and integrate the answers into their daily lives. When bathing a child, it can be said that the last time the baby asked what the genitalia was. Now let's take a closer look at the body's genitalia. You can teach your child about the genitals while showering them.
