What are the misconceptions about sex education? What should be paid attention to in sex education

Under normal circumstances, sex education should start with dolls and educate children from an early age to distinguish between men and women. Especially during adolescence, sex education is crucial and directly determines children's sexual psychology. However, some parents have misconceptions about sex education.

What are the misconceptions of sex education?

1. The earlier sex education, the earlier sexual activity occurs

Many parents are afraid to talk about sexual issues with their children. If sex education is provided to their children, their sexual behavior will start earlier. Nowadays, there are many unmarried girls in China who have had children before marriage, but their understanding of sex is limited.

2. Sex education is to avoid getting pregnant before marriage

In fact, adolescent sex education can not only avoid premarital sex, but also prevent AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases.

3. Have teachers provide sex education to children

Some parents may shift the responsibility of sex education to schools, but in fact, school and family sex education are indispensable. The best sex education is opportunity education for parents. When children have confusion about sex, they should observe and explain it carefully in a timely manner.

What should be paid attention to in sex education?

1. Avoid shyness

Some parents don't know how to talk about sex education with their children, and watching intimate scenes with them can be awkward. Most parents want their children to remain pure and innocent, and don't want to learn about sex knowledge earlier. However, this is the best educational opportunity. If relying solely on schools to maintain and promote students' mental health is not enough, then parents' education, family atmosphere, and children's living environment have a very important relationship.

2. Boys cannot wear girls' clothes

Some parents dress up their sons as girls, wearing skirts and braids for their children, which can pose certain gender barriers and affect their sexual orientation in adulthood.

3. Correct methods of sex education

Children can receive hearsay education before the age of 5, and can receive audio and book education after the age of 5. The content of education for children of all age groups also focuses on understanding gender and other issues before the age of 5. Sexual physiology education is provided before puberty, and sexual morality and psychological education are provided during puberty.

Warm Reminder

Guardians must pay attention to the issue of children's sexual education, especially during adolescence. Correct and scientific sexual education can prevent children's sexual psychological distortion.
