Three principles of early childhood sex education

Never talk dogmatically about sex.

The center of a child's childhood is play, so it's hard to calm down and listen to you dogmatically instill these sexual knowledge in him. In their view, it's boring. It is better to take advantage of their problems with their partners during the game, and you can take the opportunity to tell them your knowledge.

First.

When instilling sexual knowledge into children, we should give priority to positive examples, and we should not always emphasize that we can't. This will make children think that their parents are binding their freedom, which will cause children's rebellious psychology.

Separate education for parents

Dad's unique male chauvinism will give children an extra advantage in educating boys. If it is sex education for girls, it is best for mothers to do it. A gentle and delicate mother will make children subconsciously feel what role women should play.

Sex education should start at six o'clock.

1, after the child is born, don't confuse the choice of sex, name, clothes and daily necessities, so as to avoid the child forming a hazy consciousness about himself and others, thus affecting the child's 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.

2. When children can understand, 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.

3. Exploring your body freely is a good start for health 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.

4. 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.

5. The frequently encountered problems should be correctly understood. For example, how are people born? We can start with the flowering and fruiting of plants, and then connect with human sexuality and reproduction, and we can also make a demonstration metaphor from the reproductive activities of animals. A brief introduction to human reproductive physiology will help children understand the problem. Sex education should tell the truth and not be too complicated; We should not only encourage children's curiosity, but also naturally postpone some specific details to their later life.

6. The pattern of parents' own behavior is also very important. Parents are sincere, harmonious and virtuous, and setting a good example for their children will make them love life and treat sexual problems correctly.
