Consider age and growth stage.

Children of different ages have different needs for sex education. Knowing your child's age and maturity is the key to choosing the right content.

Start with the basics

For children and primary school students, we can explain the basic gender differences, the working mode of reproductive system and so on in a language they can understand.

Deepen gradually

With the growth of children, more complex and sensitive topics are gradually introduced, such as adolescent changes, sexual orientation, sexual health, interpersonal relationships, consent and so on.

Open communication

Encourage children to ask questions and answer them in an open and non-judgmental way. Let children know that their problems are normal.

Use appropriate teaching materials

Choose books, videos and other resources suitable for children's age and development stage. Sex education materials specially designed for children and adolescents may be of great benefit.

Emotional and moral education

Sex education is more than just physical knowledge. It also discusses emotional, moral and social aspects, such as respect, consent, responsibility and love.

Cooperation and communication

Understand the content of children's sex education in school or social environment and keep in touch with educators and other parents.
