Sex has always been a secret corner of our culture.

When I suggested to many parents to give sex education to their children, their answers were: I don't understand, how can I teach him?

This answer comes from a parent who has given birth to a child, which is somewhat ironic.

More parents are simply ashamed to talk about these things.

Don't parents know if they don't tell their children?

In this internet age, the possibility of children being exposed to sexual information is greatly increased, and children are likely to know these things better than you think.

Therefore, it is better to educate children in a scientific and age-appropriate way than to worry and pretend to be deaf and dumb.

What is the core of sex education? It's not about the sex organs of the human body, nor about knowledge such as fertility and contraception. The core of sex education is respect.

For ourselves, we should teach our children to respect their bodies and emotions, and at the same time, we must never allow others to disrespect their bodies.

For others, we should respect their bodies and emotions.

These values are best taught by parents.

Don't wait for children to ask questions, take the initiative to talk about related topics, don't cheat or be ashamed to talk about it, and find the right time to communicate with children.

For example, children ask their parents: Dad, where am I from?

Some parents lie to their children and say: You jumped out of a stone.

Then when the child understands the delivery process one day, he will find that his father lied to him, which in his view means that parents will deliberately avoid such problems.

Then the next time he has questions about sex and fertility, he may not ask his parents again.

Parents also lost the opportunity to popularize sexual knowledge to their children and establish close relationships with them.
