Child sex education is a socialization process in which educators cultivate sexual science, sexual morality, and sexual civilization education. Sex education is not only about reading books, listening to lectures, and watching videos, but also an educational system project related to family, school, and society. It is also a process of re socialization that develops with the age of educators.
Helping children acknowledge their gender, defining their gender roles, behaviors, and dynamic responses based on gender norms, and not adopting a simple scolding and deceitful attitude towards children's nudity and reproductive organs, not only teaches ugly shame, but also teaches people not to blame or conceal. Parents can speak frankly about the differences between male and female children's sexual organs and the question of where I came from, without the need to speak deeply. Encourage children to play games with peers of the same sex and opposite sex, cultivate a natural and healthy attitude towards interacting with peers, and build a healthy personality.
Some issues related to children's sex education
Answering children's sexual questions is one of the headaches for many parents, and confident parents can also feel awkward and tongue-tied. However, parents should not avoid this topic. Answering their children's questions correctly can also help them establish correct health concepts.
When will children start being curious about sex?
Usually, it is difficult for parents to know when their children are interested in sex, just like it is difficult for children to know when their parents have sex. However, even infants are interested in their own bodies, which is very normal health.
What sexual activities does your child exhibit?
Toddlers usually come into contact with their bodies when naked, such as changing diapers or taking a shower. Because children during this period are not sensible, they can only know whether their behavior is correct from their parents' reactions. However, parents should not scold them, nor should they make children feel ashamed of their own bodies. Some parents may choose to intentionally ignore their children's physical contact behavior, while others may tell their children that these are their own private parts. Parents should let their children know that this behavior is private. The only thing parents need to pay attention to is not to let this behavior develop into masturbation.
Should we use a different name for children's private parts?
Parents should use the correct name for their physiological structure before the age of three. Although it may sound too scientific, it is not inappropriate to use the correct names before children can say them. These names, including the penis, vagina, etc., should be correctly instilled in children at the beginning and should not be concealed. By using this method, children can approach them with the right attitude without feeling embarrassed.
