Moreover, the sooner sex education is popularized, the better. Sex education is carried out in stages.
One, 3-7 years old is the first stage of children's education.
During this period, children will begin to be interested in their parents' sexual organs, that is, "love their father?" /The plot period of Oedipus. At this time, you can give your child a preliminary sex education, let him know about his sexual organs, and establish a sense of protecting his sexual organs.
2. After primary school, 7- 12 years old is the second stage of sex education.
After children go to primary school, they can start telling him more about sex, such as how to protect themselves. If a boy or another man wants to touch it, what can he do at the critical moment? For example, tell him that he can call for help or refuse with something else, instead of letting others touch it casually. If the child really has a chance to get hurt, as parents, we need to stand up and protect the child.
3. The third stage is after 12 years old.
The age of 12 is a watershed. Before 12 years old, children's sex education can be carried out by parents together, but after 12 years old, they must be separated. Boys are brought up by their fathers and girls by their mothers. Because this period is an adolescence, for boys, this is the beginning of the maturity of sexual organs, and there will be the phenomenon of nocturnal emission. The same is true for girls, who will have menstruation at this time.
Generally speaking, half-year-old babies begin to have a basic understanding of the people and things around them. Slowly, at the age of two or three, the child began to form a sense of gender, and he could tell the difference between a girl and a boy. About three years old, with the gradual fashion of neurophysiological system, children will also have sexual exploration.
In other words, children around the age of three have begun to notice their physical differences with the opposite sex and are full of curiosity about their bodies, especially when their sexual consciousness is just budding.
Therefore, this period is the best time to educate children about sex. Parents should tell their children the difference between themselves and the opposite sex and guide them to form a correct sexual consciousness.
The most important thing is to tell children how to protect themselves, because three years old is the watershed of children's age and the period when children's sexual consciousness is formed.
In this critical period, parents of the opposite sex should try to avoid too much intimate contact, and parents should also tell their children not to expose their private parts in front of the opposite sex, and not to kiss or be kissed by the opposite sex casually.
Let children form a sense of gender, but also improve the awareness and ability of self-protection. This kind of consciousness and ability depends largely on parents' early words and deeds. The sooner it is popularized, the more children know how to protect themselves, which is more conducive to their later development.
Besides, no parents in the world can protect their children for life, so it is very important to educate children from an early age and let them have the ability to protect themselves.
So how should parents educate their children about sex?
First: Don't kiss your child on the mouth.
Many parents show their love for their children by kissing them. However, as children grow up and have gender awareness, parents should control their behavior.
In fact, kissing will cause the physiological reaction of the human body.
In fact, kissing will cause the physiological reaction of the human body. If you are used to expressing your love for your children in this way since childhood, your parents will also cultivate this habit and pass it on from generation to generation. Therefore, when children grow up, parents should change their behavior and express their love in another way.
Second: get dressed in front of the children. Some parents think that their children are still young, and they have no scruples about taking off their clothes and changing clothes in front of them, and they have no gender awareness. Some parents even follow the fashion with their children. The most common situation is that many fathers don't like to wear clothes at home and often walk barefoot. These behaviors will have a certain impact on children, which will make children imitate their parents' behaviors, do not know how to protect their privacy, and have no awareness of protecting privacy. Therefore, parents should set an example in front of their children and drive them with actions.
Third: Don't share a bathtub or toilet with children. After the age of three, parents should not bathe or share toilets with their children, because from this age, children's memory will be enhanced and lasting. Many parents go to the same toilet directly with their children for convenience. For example, a mother takes her son to the girls' toilet, or a father takes her daughter to the boys' toilet. They think children are too young to pay special attention to.
Fourth: It is normal for parents to sleep with their children when they are young, but as they get older, parents should be aware of the disadvantages of sharing the same bed.
Sleeping in separate beds not only helps children learn to be independent, but also helps them understand the differences between men and women and teach them to protect their privacy.
Fifth: treat gender education with a normal heart and don't escape.
Most parents are embarrassed to educate their children about sex, so that they miss the best opportunity for education. In fact, gender education should be popularized as soon as possible. If parents blindly avoid talking about sexual knowledge in front of their children, they will only make them more curious and then explore and solve their doubts.
It is normal for children to be curious about sex, which is a physiological reaction and a process of body fashion. Parents only need to guide their children correctly, remind them to learn to protect themselves from harm, and at the same time teach them to know their bottom line and refuse and respect the opposite sex.
