Starting from Six Points in Family Sex Education: Inappropriate Methods and Shadow of Childhood
The path of child sex education is prone to small mistakes, leading to failure in early education. According to the current situation, education for boys is insufficient because according to surveys, girls are more aware of their bodies and sexual impulses than boys.
1. After a child is born, regardless of gender, do not confuse the choice of naming, clothing, and daily necessities to prevent the child from developing sexual confusion about themselves and others from an early age, which may affect their sexual orientation.
Hope that the child is the gender that parents hope for. Parents like boys and girls, and intentionally dressing up girls as boys, or dressing up boys as girls, can affect the child's personality recognition, thereby changing their personality and behavior.
2. When children can hear language, parents must clearly distinguish gender education in areas such as bathing, clothing, hair styling, and toy selection. Through books, picture books, movies, stories, etc., children can observe the growth and reproduction of animals and plants, gain a natural understanding of reproduction, accept nature, love others, understand the essence of life, and achieve sexual understanding.
3. Free exploration of one's own body is a good beginning for health education. Parents should choose appropriate opportunities in family life, such as taking a shower or before going to bed, to naturally let their children know about their bodies, especially to make them realize that the reproductive organs are no more mysterious than other organs of the human body, and to keep their children clean and cultivate good hygiene habits.
4. When children ask related questions, parents should not avoid using language and methods that the child can understand and accept to answer, solve and satisfy their curiosity and knowledge desire.
5. Common problems should be properly understood. How are people born? Starting from the fruit of plant flowering, it can be used to illustrate sexual and reproductive aspects, as well as to use demonstrative metaphors from animal reproductive activities. A brief introduction to the physiology of human reproduction can help children understand the problem. When conducting sex education, it is necessary to be honest and encourage children with less complex knowledge desires, naturally delaying specific details to be understood in their future lives.
6. The role model of parents' own behavior is also important. If the relationship between parents is sincere, harmonious, and morally noble, set a good example for children, let them fall in love with life, love life, and treat sexual issues correctly.
