Theoretically, the gender differences between men and women, especially the primary sexual characteristics, can be solved before children's puberty.

Sex education should be more advanced, but it is inseparable from children's understanding ability.

Children's sex education, the content of each age group should be focused. Simple problems such as gender knowledge should be solved before the age of 5.

Introduction to Sex Education starts every autumn, and Malin, a biology teacher at Bosta Middle School in Sweden? Hamas Thom will teach sexual knowledge to eighth-grade freshmen. In the first class, she encouraged the students to say all the words about sex out loud and write them on the blackboard. After class, she will answer students' questions about sex If necessary, boys and girls should attend classes separately, so that those questions that are ashamed to export can be raised. ? Sex is a natural thing when people grow up. ? Compared with teaching biological knowledge, Marin feels that teaching sexual knowledge is more fulfilling. This knowledge will benefit students for life. ?
Sex education in Sweden teaches students in accordance with their aptitude, is frank, open and rigorous, and is well received by students and appreciated by the society. Curiosity always accompanies every stage of teenagers' growth. When they encounter growing pains, transmitting correct sexual values can greatly reduce the negative impact of bad information and make their physical and mental development healthier. According to the survey, since the mid-1990s, the fertility rate and abortion rate of Danish women aged from 15 to 19 have greatly decreased, and the number of teenagers suffering from AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases has greatly decreased. Help teenagers get rid of it? Unsolvable mystery and extraordinary shame? Timely and scientific sex education is indispensable.
? Sex education itself is a go? Dirty? In this process, children's demand for sexual knowledge should be met step by step and steadily. ? Looking back at history, Swedish society in the early last century encountered a lot of resistance when promoting sex education, for fear that children's pure hearts would be polluted. Through the continuous efforts of people of insight, Sweden issued the world's first sex education plan from 65438 to 0945. Nowadays, the focus of discussion on sex education has shifted to how to improve teachers' teaching level and how to make sex education more targeted. Sweden, Denmark, Finland and other Nordic countries generally believe that sex education should be mainly done by schools because teachers are more professional in this field. Considering that it is difficult for parents to communicate with adolescent children, society has high expectations for teachers' efforts to improve teaching quality.
In fact, sex education, as a systematic project, is not only related to the health of teenagers, but also an important means to realize public sexual health and prevent diseases. Statistics show that the pregnancy rate of women aged 15 to 19 in the United States is five times that of Sweden, and the incidence of gonorrhea in this population is twice that of Sweden. In addition to schools, sex education needs to go deep into all levels of the community and society. The World Health Organization survey found that proper sex education will not only delay sexual behavior, but also make young people more responsible for their actions. Ignorance of sex will affect teenagers' physical and mental health, make them lack self-protection consciousness, and cause sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancies, dangerous abortions and excessive sexual anxiety. From this point of view, the combination of a complete sex education system, service institutions that meet the needs of teenagers and mature public opinion will undoubtedly make the layout of sex education more complete.
Sex education is not a scourge. Instead of wearing colored glasses, it is better to overcome the embarrassment and face it calmly. The generosity and directness of receiving science education is the most effective way to let children know how to be responsible for themselves and others.

Sex education for children in different periods focuses on sex education in infancy.
The main content of sex education in infancy is to raise and feed children through mothers.
