Sexual Health
When did baby sex education start? Pay attention to these 6 points in family sex education
The materials from psychological counseling prove that psychological disorders caused by sexual development problems in adolescents, sexual disharmony caused by insufficient sexual knowledge in adulthood, and various psychological and physical diseases related to sexual problems mostly originate from childhood. Therefore, it is necessary to provide sex education to children starting from the period of sexual self-awareness during childhood. That is to say, before a girl's first menstrual cycle and a boy's first ejaculation, they should be informed of sexual science knowledge.
Sexual needs are human instinctive needs that have existed since childhood.
Holding a young child on their parents not only signifies closeness, but also provides a comfortable feeling of physical contact. During breastfeeding, they approach their mother warmly and affectionately until they fall asleep. These are all manifestations of sexual desire. As children grow older, they become more and more exposed to things around them. Occasionally seeing the opposite sex's body being different from oneself can lead to questions and questions about where one comes from. Therefore, sex education for children during childhood can eliminate their sexual stupidity, mystery, and terror through learning sexual knowledge and training in good behavior habits. This helps children develop a scientific and pure sexual awareness and morality, laying a good foundation for their future adolescent sexual development and social adaptation in adulthood, and preparing them psychologically. Sexual education for children is an important component of family education and cannot be neglected. Ignoring this and allowing children to explore in secret is not wise, and it is not too late to receive sex education again during adolescence, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of children.

Sexual education must determine the content of the explanation based on the child's age. 3-year-old children should know not to play with their reproductive organs in public. The best way to educate children about sex is to be honest and natural. In order to avoid past misconceptions, parents themselves should first learn the correct sexual knowledge.
Sexual education should start from a young age. When a child is 2 years old, they should first be told the proper name of their genitalia and try to answer their questions in a language that the child can understand. Most children start asking simple and straightforward questions at the age of 2 to 3: "Where do I come from?" or "Where do children come from? When they ask the first question, answer them.
