Sex education precautions

When parents give their children correct health education, sex education experts believe that the following aspects should be paid attention to:

1. Appropriate age

Theoretically, there is no problem in explaining the gender differences between men and women, especially primary sexual characteristics, before children reach puberty. However, based on the current social and cultural situation, it is best to explain the differences between primary sexual characteristics between men and women before the age of 5. Sex education should be relatively advanced, but it cannot be out of the child's ability to understand.

2. Appropriate methods

Before the child is 5 years old, parents can use their bodies to speak, but after 5 years old, it is more appropriate to use books, audio-visual materials and other methods.

3. Appropriate content

The content of children's sex education should be focused on different age groups. Simple issues such as gender knowledge should be solved before the age of 5. Before puberty, sexual physiology education should be carried out; during puberty, sexual psychology and sexual morality education should be carried out.

In short, sex education for children should adhere to the principles of naturalness and appropriateness. It should not be done deliberately, nor should children's problems be viewed from an adult's perspective.

Key points for parents to conduct sex education

Sexual issues must be answered. Before the age of 18, a child's sexual psychological development is divided into five periods:

* Before the age of 3 is the oral stage, when babies like to use pacifiers and suck their fingers;

* 3 years old is the period of sexual confusion, when children begin to explore sexual issues;

* 6-8 years old is school age, the development of boys and girls is relatively similar, and they can play games together;

* Around 10 years old is the early puberty, when boys and girls gradually drift apart;

* After entering puberty, due to the influence of sex hormones, girls' breasts develop and boys' testicles enlarge. In the middle and late stages, girls begin menstruation and boys ejaculate.

On the one hand, they will be terrified by the changes in their bodies, and on the other hand, they will be particularly curious about the bodies of the opposite sex. If they cannot get answers when asking their parents at this time, they will find ways to explore on their own, such as looking online, or contacting and interacting with girls.

Experts say that among the five periods mentioned above, the 3-year-old sexual confusion period is the key period for sex education. To avoid deviations in children's sexual psychology and behavior, parents should give positive answers to children's questions about "sex" at this time, and don't just perfunctorily answer them.

Experts suggest that parents can use plants and animals to explain why they are embarrassed to talk about it. "If a child asks where he came from, parents can say that mom and dad loved each other, and dad planted a seed in mom's belly. The seed slowly sprouted and gradually grew into a little man. When the little man matured, mom gave birth to him and let him see this beautiful world. Children will be very satisfied with this answer."

It is also a very important part of sex education to gradually separate children from their mothers. Experts say that if children, especially boys, are too attached to their mothers, it will affect their psychological development. She recommends that "children should sleep in separate beds from their parents at around 3 years old." Otherwise, it will not only be detrimental to the relationship between parents, but also the child's ability to socialize with others will not be as good as other independent children, which will lead to withdrawal behavior and reduced adaptability, thus affecting sexual psychology.
