When does sex education begin?
Sex education is a very important education, which aims to help people understand their own and others' knowledge and skills in body, gender, sexual orientation, sexual behavior, sexual health and interpersonal relationships. Although sex education is usually carried out in adolescence and adolescence, some experts and educators believe that it is beneficial to start sex education from kindergarten.

Early childhood is a critical period for children's cognitive, physical and emotional development. Sex education can help children understand the physical differences between themselves and others, learn the names and functions of various parts of the body, and how to protect their own body and privacy. In addition, sex education can also teach children gender equality and respect, and encourage them to respect their own bodies and boundaries with others.

However, from kindergarten, we should adopt appropriate ways and teaching methods to conduct sex education, to ensure that the content and language are easy to understand and will not cause confusion and panic to young children. In addition, children's sex education should communicate and cooperate with parents to ensure that the educational content is consistent with family values and culture.

Generally speaking, it is not necessarily too early to start sex education in kindergartens, but appropriate methods and teaching methods should be adopted, and parents should be fully communicated and cooperated.
