How to conduct sex education: a guide for parents
Sex education is the key to guide children to correctly understand and treat sex. Although my parents didn't give me sex education, as a parent, I have explained sex education to my children. The following are some specific practices to help parents choose appropriate methods for sex education according to their children's situation.

Integrate sex education into daily life

Parents can use the opportunity of daily life to impart sexual knowledge. For example, if you bathe your children, you can naturally tell them the names of their reproductive organs and emphasize their privacy and inviolability. When children observe gender differences, such as girls squatting to urinate and boys standing to urinate, they can take the opportunity to explain the related physiological differences.

Respond positively to children's sexual curiosity.

It is normal for children to be curious about sex. Parents should not avoid it or be vague. When children ask questions related to sex, parents should calmly face them and give accurate and concise answers to satisfy their curiosity. Avoid letting children find it by themselves because they can't get the answer, and go into bad information sources by mistake.

Establish an equal dialogue with children

For senior children, they prefer equal dialogue to traditional preaching. Parents can try to communicate with their children as friends, which makes it easier to gain their trust and acceptance. When communicating with children, we should keep an open mind and respect their views and feelings.

Search information together to solve problems

Don't be afraid to admit your shortcomings when your child's questions are beyond the parents' ability to answer. Parents can look for information with their children and explore the answers together. This can cultivate children's independent thinking ability and critical thinking, and also strengthen the interaction and communication between parents and children.

Moderately relax educational standards

Children's knowledge absorption is a step-by-step process, so parents don't have to worry too much about the large scale of education. At an appropriate time, you can discuss the topic of sex with your child gradually and deeply. It is important to keep the communication with children smooth and let them understand and accept the importance of sexual knowledge.
