"Sex education is a kind of life education, health education, moral education, responsibility education and personality education. It is related to whether a person's life can develop into a sound and creative individual. " Rebecca said that "sex education" has never been an embarrassing thing. Teachers and parents need to face it with their children in a scientific and rational manner, so that children can accept it healthily.
Of course, children's "sex education" needs the joint efforts of families and schools to protect their health. So how should parents guide their children to "sex education" in their daily lives?
In this regard, Rebecca gave three guidelines for children's "sex education".
First, allow children to be curious about sex.
For example, children in early childhood like to play with their sexual organs, especially boys. Faced with such a situation, parents need not make a fuss, let alone scold their children with prejudice. The best way is to tell the child that that place is his secret and cannot be seen by others. This will not make the child feel ashamed of his body, but also teach him a behavior that conforms to social norms.
Second, sex education goes with the flow.
When children enter the early stage of children's consciousness, what they need is not an accurate answer like an encyclopedia, but an explanation that can be visualized by children's thinking. Picture books such as Serena's Rushing Forward, The Story of Little Chicken and The Secret of Breast are the best choices to solve children's sex education problems with children's thinking. Reading with children can not only help adults solve the most difficult problems, but also help adults find ways to respond to children's curiosity with their thinking.
Third, correctly answer children's questions about sex.
Children will also be curious about sex, and parents should take this as a good opportunity to educate their children about sex. The correct way should be not to ask questions, not to talk, to answer questions, not to lie, and to answer simply and truthfully according to the child's understanding ability. Parents should be the best sex education instructors in the process of children's growth. This will give the child a hint: once there is a sexual problem, he can get the answer from his parents without knowing it through other channels, and the problem of "sex" that is difficult to talk about will be solved.
