Among the 76,000 people surveyed, more than 70% answeredno. From the results of the national AIDS epidemic monitoring in the first two quarters of 20 17-20 18, it was found that the number of new HIV-infected people under the age of 0/kloc-5 in China continued to rise, and the infection among young students was mainly sexual transmission, accounting for 95.5% of all student cases. According to the Report on Statistics of Child Sexual Abuse Cases in 2020 and Investigation Report on Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Education released by the Girls Protection Fund of China Children's Culture and Art Foundation, in 2020, there were as many as 332 cases of child sexual abuse publicly reported by the media, with 845 victims, which is only public data.
All the above data show that there is a serious shortage of universal sex education for children and adolescents in China. Children don't understand sex, and adults are not afraid of "child sexual assault." In such an environment, many children and parents will pay a painful price, and the basic education, public health, population quality and social stability of this society will also be greatly affected. Therefore, universal sex education is imminent.
What is the use of "sex education"?
In life, the most important role of sex education is to let children know their bodies, accept their bodies, respect their bodies, love their bodies, protect their bodies and prevent sexual abuse and unsafe sex. This is also one of the most concerned issues for parents at present.
Research shows that sexual stigma has existed for a long time in China culture, which makes many parents avoid talking about sex with their children, makes many schools afraid to offer sex education courses, and makes many teachers not involve sex topics in the classroom. Children's curiosity about sex can only be realized by communicating with peers or searching online, thus gaining many wrong ideas. Let children receive sex education from an early age, which can not only prevent the occurrence of child sexual abuse, but also let children know the sexual knowledge of biology, psychology, sociology and ethics, so that children can live safer and healthier lives.
When did "sex education" begin?
Kohlberg takes children's cognition of gender as an example, and divides children's cognition of gender into three stages. In the first stage, the child is 2 ~ 3 years old, and ta can correctly point out the gender; At the age of 3 ~ 5, children gradually realize that a person's gender will not change with age; By the age of 5 ~ 7, children can realize that the change of a person's appearance or activities has nothing to do with gender, that is, they begin to understand the essential difference between gender.
In fact, a child's sexual development begins at birth.
In fact, sex runs through a person's life, and children and teenagers will be full of curiosity and exploration about sex. Parents and teachers need correct and scientific sex education. I hope parents can correct their attitude towards sex. If the child's questions raised purely out of curiosity are rejected by you in a contemptuous or spiteful way, it will have a very bad influence on ta's psychology. Talking about "sex" with children at the same time should not be taboo. We need to let children subconsciously understand that parents are on the side of ta, and they are willing to solve their confusion, which is trustworthy anyway.
