Children aged 3 ~ 6 are in the stage of sexual bud, which is the first peak of sexual development experienced by children. Children at this time are like budding buds, full of curiosity about the unknown. At the same time, as a flower, they realized the uniqueness of their sexual organs, began to spontaneously understand the mysteries of sexual organs, and had a preliminary understanding of the love between men and women. Therefore, parents are advised to start sex education for their children from this period, which will be the basis of sexual maturity in the future.

Children in the sexual bud stage have the following three characteristics.

(1), children will have great interest in their genitals and constantly stimulate it. Boys play with genitals, and girls sometimes stimulate genitals by rubbing their legs. This is one of their sex games.

(2) When children realize the difference between men and women, they will have a strong curiosity to see what the genitals of the opposite sex are like. For example, girls will ask, "Why do boys have penises and I don't?"

(3) The possible emotional expression at this stage is "Oedipus complex", also known as "Oedipus complex". Freud believes that children enter the object selection period of sexual development and begin to seek sexual objects from the outside world. For young children, this object is parents first. For example, some children will say "I want to marry my mother when I grow up" and will be very interested in gender feelings.
