How to provide sex education for a daughter at home? What details should parents pay attention to when conducting sex education
Many parents with daughters in their families feel very upset because daughters are not as vulnerable in society as sons and are more vulnerable to various forms of harm. Especially when I often see reports of little girls being violated in the news, I am even more worried. To protect one's own children, the first step is to let them protect themselves. Good sex education is a necessary prerequisite for parents. Next, let's take a look together.
How should parents provide sex education for their daughters?
1. Start early
To provide sex education for your daughter, it is important to start grasping the three golden periods of sex education as soon as possible. At the age of 0-6, it is mainly to give her a preliminary understanding of gender, to know that boys and girls are different, and to teach them some basic hygiene knowledge. For example, don't touch your own private parts with your hands, don't let others touch your private parts, and so on. From the age of 7 to adolescence, I hope that parents can tell their daughters how to protect their bodies and inform their parents promptly when they are injured. After puberty, it is important to choose the appropriate time to discuss sexual activities with children, tell them what sex is, and how to protect themselves during sex.
2. Step by step
Sex education is not something that can be ended in just two conversations, it requires a long period of communication. Parents must master this level and never be too impatient. It is necessary to start a good start and establish a good communication bridge with the child. If the child raises this issue, it indicates that communication is not yet in place or the communication method is incorrect. Parents should seek professional advice, listen to more courses on sex education, and then integrate and make adjustments based on their actual situation.
3. Don't be too tough
Many parents have two extremes when facing their daughters, the first being extreme indulgence, and the second being extreme toughness. No matter which extreme it is, one should not be too tough when facing the issue of sex education. If one talks about it in a teaching or critical tone from the beginning, it is easy to lead children's views on sex astray. It is easy for children to dislike and dislike sex, believing that sex is dirty and evil, which is not conducive to their future development.
