Why do kindergartens offer sex education classes?
Parents question whether it is too early to offer sex education classes in kindergartens? I don't think so. Usually we will encounter some problems, such as:

"Dad, why are you standing in the toilet and I am sitting?" For a father with a daughter, this question may have been asked. But what is embarrassing is that the daughter is likely to stand at the door of the toilet and observe carefully.

"Dad, why are you standing in the toilet and I am sitting?" Many parents may have been troubled by similar problems, but they don't know how to explain them to their children.

It is said that the earlier sex education, the better. Some 4-year-olds can talk about chest development and point out the difference between boys and girls.

The introduction of sex education classes in kindergartens will make parents embarrassed by teachers. That's what our children's kindergarten teacher started teaching? In some kindergartens, the class of "sex education" really started, and the children have changed a lot since then.

"When I used to go to the toilet, I often opened the door and stood by." This behavior of her daughter once embarrassed her father, Mr. Wang. "She will also ask, Dad, why am I sitting in the toilet and you are standing?"

How to answer this question? I had a headache for a while: "I just fiddled around and diverted her attention more often."

Speaking of which, I am still a teacher, and I think it is necessary to educate children about sex. But how and when should I start teaching? The two are really not sure, and they always want to wait until the child is older before popularizing with her.

"I have always felt that 4 years old is too small." What they didn't expect was that this problem was solved after their daughter went to kindergarten. "She can understand the meaning of the word' development'. When I go to the toilet, she will never open the door suddenly again."

What makes me happier is that my daughter has a sense of self-protection. "You point your finger at all parts of her body, and she can clearly answer where you can touch others and where you can't touch others."

Different levels of theme activities are launched for children of different ages. Although our daughter's change makes us very happy, they still have a question: Is it too early for children aged three or four to receive sex education?

"After long-term observation, such a small child is actually in a sensitive period of sexual organs." Teachers observed that when boys go to the toilet, some little girls will be curious to observe, so in the past year or two, kindergartens began to educate their children in this area, "such as my small hole, food travel and so on."

In fact, this is also a theme activity for children of all grades in kindergartens. The teacher also introduced that the kindergarten patiently explained to the children according to the two famous picture books "My Breast" and "My Little Chicken", combined with the children's acceptance ability. The content is mainly divided into "my body" and "self-protection".

"The five senses, hands and feet, the differences between boys and girls ..." Director Tao said that the contents of primary schools, middle schools and large classes are actually the same, but the education level will be different. For example, children in small classes will teach them how to protect their private parts. "Tell the little girl that two little breasts are two little pearls, and I will cherish them very much." A little bigger, it will extend to a deeper level, such as the function of breasts, which will secrete milk, provide nutrition and food for babies, and let children understand the basic functions of various organs.

Let's take a look at the popularity and development of sex education classes in various countries.

Britain: Compulsory education must start at the age of 5.

According to British law, compulsory sex education must start at the age of 5. According to the specific provisions of the "National Compulsory Curriculum", all public primary and secondary schools in Britain divide students into four stages according to different age levels and carry out sex education with different contents.

Sweden: Sex education through TV.

Sex education in Sweden, also known as "contraceptive education", is a model of worldwide education, and its early school sex education is one of the internationally recognized successful models of youth education.

From 65438 to 0942, Sweden began sex education for children over 7 years old. The content is that primary schools teach knowledge about pregnancy and fertility, middle schools teach knowledge about physiology and body functions, and universities focus on love, contraception and interpersonal relationship management. 1966, Sweden tried to implement sex education through TV, which broke the situation that parents could not talk about sex. This educational model has achieved remarkable results: the prevalence rate of sexually transmitted diseases is extremely low, and girls under the age of 20 are almost pregnant and have children. Up to now, the positive rate of HIV in China is only 5 132 cases, the birth rate has dropped significantly, the abortion rate is extremely low, and the proportion of sexually transmitted diseases and sexual crimes is also declining.

Finland: There are sex education books in kindergartens.
