Sex education in America
In the United States, sex education begins at the age of 0-5. Its core objectives include: shaping the correct concepts of gender roles, preventive repression and sexual repression, and answering children's questions about sex correctly.
Sex education picture book
Dr. Piersa, a famous sex therapist, suggested that in sex education, parents should avoid formal "talking about sex" and seize every opportunity in life. It is a good method to use sex education picture books, which provide a relaxed and happy way for children's sexual enlightenment because of their illustrations and strong stories.
Parental participation
Sex education is not limited to parents of one sex. When a child has a problem, both parents can participate in the discussion. Especially in the critical period of 2-4 years old, children are full of curiosity. They ask questions not because of physical needs, but to satisfy curiosity. Therefore, parents should respond positively and frankly to satisfy their children's curiosity.
Tell your child "What can I do?"
Sex education is more important to tell children what they can do, not what they can't do. In addition to picture books, parents can also accompany their children to watch popular science videos of sex education, such as the American short film How to Tell Your Children. These videos can help children know which behaviors are appropriate and which ones should not be done.
continuing education
Finally, sex and love education is a continuous process, not a one-off task. Both parents should participate together and set an example of love and being loved for their children with small details in daily life.
