Sex education has attracted more and more attention. However, more parents expect schools to do this work. School is a place suitable for sex education. However, unilateral education in schools is far from enough, and it needs the close cooperation of schools, families and society, especially in the current situation that sex education in schools needs to be improved. Family plays an irreplaceable role in children's sex education. Because when a child is born, the first contact is parents and family. Moreover, children spend most of their time at home and grow up under the care and education of their parents. Therefore, the family environment, parents' daily words, behaviors and education have a subtle influence on children. Parents are more important educators in the study of sexual problems. For example, parents usually take care of their children; Family care and love for you; As an example of how a man or a woman lives for a child; How to treat the opposite sex; Dealing with children's sexual problems; Views on some social issues (such as marriage, pregnancy and childbirth); Views and public discussions about events, such as premature sexual behavior, unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, which appear on TV or reported in newspapers and periodicals, are affecting children.

It can be seen that parents are the enlighteners of children's sexual knowledge and morality, and their role in sex education is irreplaceable. Parents have an unshirkable responsibility to educate their children about sex. Parents who really care about their children should also regard this kind of education as a very important thing.

Some parents worry that discussing sex at home or school may lead to premature sexual experience and intercourse. However, many studies show that the result of sex education is just the opposite of the result of fear. This is because sex education weakens children's curiosity about sex by openly spreading sexual knowledge. In addition, parents and children can talk openly about sexual issues, and they can also give their children a clear code of conduct by discussing what is appropriate behavior, what sexual behavior means and what its consequences are.

If children can get satisfactory answers about sexual problems from their parents, they will feel more confident and responsible when dealing with sexual problems, and they can discuss with their parents when something happens to avoid something that should not happen. In addition, parents who can communicate well with their children on sexual issues are more likely to know these things from their children if they are sexually assaulted, so as to solve the problem in time.

Appropriate sex education by parents can encourage children to protect themselves with scientific knowledge and skills and promote their normal development. Parents' own sexual knowledge level and sexual morality directly affect children's physical and mental health. Nowadays, many parents find it difficult to answer their children's questions because of their limited sexual knowledge. Therefore, for the sake of children's health, parents should first study, master certain scientific knowledge and educational methods, and understand the laws of children's physical and mental development.
