The timing of popular science in sex education is a controversial issue, and different research and education experts have different views.
Generally speaking, however, earlier sex education has the following advantages:
Enhance your understanding of sex: The earlier you receive sex education, the deeper your understanding of sex and the better your understanding of sexual behavior.
Enhance safety awareness: The sooner you know about sexual health knowledge, the stronger your awareness of sexual safety will be, and you will avoid bad behavior.
Improve self-confidence: Knowing the correct sexual knowledge and having a better understanding of your sexual identity and behavior will improve your self-confidence.
Enhance decision-making ability: Knowing correct sexual knowledge makes it easier to make wise decisions and avoid sexual misjudgment.
First of all, the sooner sex education is popularized, the deeper the understanding of sex will be, so as to have a better understanding of sexual behavior. The purpose of sex education science popularization is not only to tell children what sex is, but more importantly, to enhance their understanding of sex. Therefore, if sex education is popularized early, children will have a deeper understanding of sex and have better sexual behavior.
Secondly, the sooner sex education is popularized, the stronger the awareness of sexual safety will be. Science popularization of sex education is not only to tell children what sex is, but also to tell them the safety of sexual behavior. Popular science in sex education can help children prevent diseases and unhealthy behaviors. With the development of society, the number of sexually transmitted diseases and unhealthy behaviors is on the rise, and many children don't know the harm of these problems or even how to prevent them. It is very important for children to know the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases and unhealthy behaviors and tell them how to prevent them through sex education.
Moreover, the sooner sex education is popularized, the better understanding of their sexual identity and behavior can help children improve their self-esteem and self-protection awareness. When children understand the importance of their physical health and sexual health, and know how to protect their physical health and sexual health, self-esteem and self-protection awareness will be improved. In this way, they can not only take better care of themselves, but also better cope with all kinds of dangers and challenges.
The scientific popularization of sex education is a long-term work, which requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society. Parents, schools and the government should all play their roles.
However, it does not mean that sex education science popularization must be as early as possible, but should be considered according to the children's age, growth and development, family education atmosphere, educational purpose and other factors.
