Many parents are shy about sex, but they still have to face it. So, how do parents educate their children about sex? Family is the main place for children's sex education, and parents are the first teachers of children's sex education. Parents should know how to educate their children. Parents should carry out sex education in their daily lives: after a child is born, no matter what his sex is, he should not be confused in the choice of name, clothes and daily necessities, so as to avoid the child from forming a vague sense of himself and others, thus affecting his sexual orientation. Expecting the child to be the gender that parents want, or parents favoring boys or girls, or dressing girls as men or dressing boys as women will affect the child's gender identity and lead to changes in personality and behavior later. When children can understand words, parents should put sex education into their daily lives, such as taking a bath, dressing, combing their hair and choosing toys. Children can also be guided to observe the growth and reproduction of animals and plants through books, newspapers, picture books, movies and stories. Let children have a natural understanding of reproduction, let them accept nature, love human beings, understand the essence of life and complete their sexual confession. Free exploration of one's body is a good start for health sex education. In family life, parents should choose appropriate opportunities, such as bathing and sleeping. Let children know their bodies naturally, especially let them realize that the reproductive organs are not as mysterious as other organs of the human body, and guide them to keep their bodies clean and develop good hygiene habits. When children ask questions about sex, parents should not avoid them, but answer them in a language and way that children can understand and accept, so that children's curiosity and thirst for knowledge can be solved and satisfied. Suggestion: 1. Parents should downplay their expectations of their children's gender and establish the concept that "boys and girls are equally good". 2. According to the child's gender, choose the way to treat him to avoid the child from forming a wrong gender consciousness. 3. If the child has gender consciousness deviation, it should be corrected and adjusted when the child is three or four years old in the first negative stage. Four principles of sex education. General principles of physical contact 1. Parents should tell their children that everyone's body belongs to them and should be respected; 2, you can touch the body, but touching some parts is not suitable for public places; Don't touch other people's bodies at will. If others object in the process of contact, we should stop it in time. 4. Don't touch some parts of others; 5. No one can touch his private parts except his parents, close caregivers and doctors; 6. If anyone's contact makes you feel uncomfortable or "wrong", even relatives and friends have the right to stop. Second, let children establish privacy awareness 1. Some parts of the human body are more special than others and should not be exposed; 2. Some things are not suitable for public places, but they can be done in the bathroom or your bedroom; 3. Men and women are different. There are some things that men and women should do separately. 4. Privacy is not bad. Third, how to answer children's "strange" questions 1. The child pointed to his parents' reproductive organs and asked what it was. What should he say? A: Infantile children are in a state of asexual consciousness. You just need to tell him what it is and what it is for. 2. Can I take a bath with my children? A: Of course. Bathing with preschool children is also a kind of sex education, because you can teach children a lot about the human body through parent-child bathing. When children grow up, don't want to take a bath with you, or start to have some resistance, it's time to stop taking a bath with their parents. 3. Children will lift girls' skirts. What should I do? A: Preschool children are always curious about what they hide, which has nothing to do with pornography. At this time, parents can ask him what he wants to know and tell him that everyone has something that others can't see, except when mom and dad help you take a bath. If someone looks at your penis, be sure to tell your parents. Sister wears a skirt just so that no one can see it. Of course you can't. 4. Why do boys pee standing and girls pee squatting? Answer: Tell the child directly because the sex organs are different. Why can't you hug your relatives? A: Others may feel uncomfortable doing this. Don't be forced if others don't want to 6. Why can't we just touch girls?
