During the National People's Congress last year, NPC deputies called for "sex education" in kindergartens, saying that the content of "sex education" in kindergartens should include understanding the body and the birth of new life; Know the body's sensory perception, understand emotions, and learn positive emotional processing strategies; Equality and respect for children's rights, prevent sexual abuse of children, and learn to protect themselves; Observe social norms and other eight aspects. At the same time, it is mentioned that the training of sex education teachers in kindergartens should be strengthened.
At that time, the NPC representative's suggestion was supported by most netizens, who thought that "sex education" was necessary from dolls and could also protect children themselves. Of course, some netizens think that "sex education" is too early for kindergarten children, fearing that children will not only fail to understand these contents, but may even lead to bad guidance. "Sex education" has two important stages, one of which is early childhood.
In fact, in the voice of support or opposition, more parents expressed their confusion about "sex education" in kindergartens, and wanted to know how to talk about "sex" with their children and where the scale of "sex education" was.
Three principles of "sex education" for children.
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.
