I bought a book "The Mystery of the Human Body" from the bookstore, and I intend to tell my children about the structure of the human body. The 6-year-old boss looked at the photo of the girl 18 in the book and asked me, "Are we like her when we grow up?" She pointed to the girl's chest in the photo. "Are both things long?" The 3-year-old asked more specifically: "Are there two bobos?" I nodded and turned to the next page.
Raising girls and boys are different knowledge. After having the third and youngest son, I discussed with my wife that she would take care of the girl and I would take care of the boy. Parents are duty-bound to educate their children about sex, but the division of labor is very important.
I don't know how my wife educated her two daughters. I just found that my eldest daughter has an extra book "Whispering with Mom" on her bookshelf, while my second daughter often reads a book "Secrets of Little Girl's Body".
Second, in Dani's view, life is actually a big sex education.
Life is the best material for children's sex education. From an early age, I will take advantage of swimming in public places and bathing with my son at home to show him "naked men" of different ages, and then talk about the structure of men appropriately. When children enter kindergarten, they will be curious about the opposite sex, such as why boys pee, girls squat, why boys and girls call private parts differently, and so on. I will ask the children to write down their questions, and then we will go to science museums and museums to find the answers. I remember one year, Hong Kong held the German Magic Human Science Exhibition, and I took my son who was in primary school to visit it. Science fair is the best place to educate children about sex. Compared with boring preaching, it is easier for children to accept specimens, objects, models, images and so on.
Thirdly, sex education for boys is also a compulsory course. You know, boys also need sexual protection.
Sex education for boys is a challenge for every father.
Some people worry that it will be self-defeating to say something bad about sex education for boys; Some people think that it is the responsibility of the school, not mine; More people don't know where to start and what to say.
My suggestion: sex education for boys might as well start with how to protect boys' sex.
Hearing this, you may criticize that children's sex education only talks about girls' sexual protection. Why do boys need sexual protection?
Let me tell you a story first. This summer vacation, my sister-in-law came back from Canada with two little boys and lived in my house. The two boys are cheerful and charming, especially the eldest, chubby and smiling. But one day, he suddenly cried and complained to his mother. The uncle of the community security patted his ass, and his mother was nervous about the situation. It turned out that the uncle saw the little fat man running around his ass, which made him feel very funny and could not help but pat him with his hand. Different national conditions have different sex education for children. My sister-in-law told me that in Canada, boys and girls will be educated at different levels from kindergarten. The core content is to teach children not to let others touch their private parts, and boys' buttocks also belong to private parts. In the past, I only knew how to teach children "don't talk to strangers", but now I want to add "don't talk to strange men". Same sex, the average person will easily relax their vigilance. However, in recent years, there have been many incidents of boys being sexually assaulted at home and abroad, and the perpetrators are mostly men who are seven feet tall.
For Dany, sex education for children should achieve three purposes: first, let children really understand their own bodies, know the development process of their private parts, and let their bodies grow up healthily; Second, when there are physical and psychological problems in growing up, know how to find answers and ask parents for advice; The third is to teach children to learn to protect themselves from sexual assault.
