Many parents always let their children learn various skills in order to avoid falling behind others. In fact, sexual knowledge is the same. Children should receive different stages of sex education from an early age, and should not be let down at the starting line.
How to avoid lagging behind in children's sex education
To ensure that your child receives correct sex education and knowledge, the following are several educational methods.
1. Starting from a young age and gradually progressing
At the age of 3-5, children will start talking about various parts of the body, which is a good time to start such conversations. Parents can answer their questions without elaborating on details. They can listen and gradually understand.
2. Do not use nicknames for various parts of the body
Parents often mention the following and that place when it comes to sexual organs, which makes children feel confused and require the help of sexual knowledge in adulthood. When a child goes to see a doctor or sees a nurse, they say that my "place" is uncomfortable, and sometimes others laugh because they don't know what she is talking about. To avoid this issue, use the correct terminology to explain what it is and what it is used for. For example, this is the external genitalia, vagina, or penis that you were born with.
3. Seize various opportunities in daily life
Whether it's the success of the movie Juno, which focuses on teenage pregnancy, or the success of the female star Jamie Lynn Spears, who is 16 years old, in the TV series "Field Trip to the Wild," these are the opportunities to discuss some "sexual" matters related to the child themselves. If a child asks why the male protagonist Zoe bid farewell to the protagonist, he should be responsible for socializing with the opposite sex and not easily engage in sexual relationships.
4. Don't give children an example with your own body
When explaining sexual relationships with opposite sex and partners to your child, do not use yourself as an example, but instead give a common example. Because children don't want to listen to their parents.
