Should I receive sex education when I was a child?
It may be too early to start sex education from kindergarten. Every child's growth and development speed is different, and some children may not have enough cognitive ability to understand the content of sex education in kindergartens. In addition, in kindergarten, children usually just start to get in touch with basic knowledge, such as the naming and function of body parts and the concept of private areas.

Therefore, although some health and safety education can be carried out in kindergartens, premature sex education may cause unnecessary doubts, panic and confusion, and may even make children feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.

Generally speaking, the age range suitable for basic education is 10- 1 1 year, which is when most children begin to enter adolescence. At this age, children begin to change their bodies and their cognition, and they are more likely to face all kinds of sex-related problems, such as physical changes, sexual orientation, sexual behavior and so on. At this age, it is more appropriate and necessary to conduct comprehensive sex education for children.
