Why do we need sex education?
The word "sex education" first appeared in China law, which is a great progress and a brand-new starting point. It is not accidental that it first appeared in the newly revised Law on the Protection of Minors, which just shows that an important purpose of sex education for minors is to let them know about sex and cognition, so as to better protect themselves and avoid sexual-related violations, including, of course, not harming others.

However, the good intentions of the law face many difficulties and challenges in reality. The resistance first comes from the parents of many children, especially the parents of kindergarten children. In their eyes, talking about sex in front of a group of ignorant kindergarten children is too big, too early and the content is not appropriate ... so "teaching is better than not teaching." Even if parents' resistance in this respect is solved, it is still a problem for kindergarten and school teachers to educate their children about sex. If the process of sex education is unprofessional, unscientific and unreasonable, the effect may be counterproductive.

Resistance exists objectively, but the pace of sex education is unstoppable. Not to mention that today's children are more mature in physical age and psychological age than those ten years ago and decades ago. If you don't teach, it doesn't mean that they don't know that children will inevitably come into contact with various electronic products in their lives, and these products inevitably contain sex-related content. Instead of letting them explore for themselves, they may be misled by all kinds of bad information. Let's take the initiative.

Parents who believe in popularizing sex education in kindergartens should really look at the problem from another angle. Since children can ask their parents questions at home, such as "Where do I come from" and "Why do girls pee differently from boys", it shows that they already have the need to know about sex, which is like a signal that we can educate them about sex. Furthermore, since we are willing to enlighten children in art education and music education in kindergartens, why can't we enlighten children in sex education? It should be said that the sooner children are guided to understand sex and treat it correctly, the better the disenchantment effect will be.

The question of whether kindergartens and primary schools can carry out sex education has been solved. Next, the problem of how to conduct sex education is solved. First of all, it is necessary to organize professionals, including those in education, psychology and medicine, to compile an authoritative sex education textbook suitable for minors under the coordination of relevant departments; Secondly, teachers in kindergartens or schools that popularize sex education need special training to help them master correct and scientific concepts and methods of sex education, which is not only related to the effect of sex education, but also to the issue of right and wrong.

It is not too early to carry out sex education in kindergartens. It is just a kind of "make up lessons" and can't be delayed any longer.
