Why should we educate our children about sex?
The purpose of sex education is to help children and adolescents understand the basic knowledge of human reproduction and sexual behavior, understand gender equality and prevent sexual assault, so as to help them form positive and healthy sexual concepts and values and promote healthy physical and mental growth.

For kindergarten children, because their cognitive ability and language expression ability are not developed enough, premature sex education may cause unnecessary confusion, doubt and even panic. Therefore, sex education in kindergartens should focus on cultivating children's awareness of self-protection, safety, hygiene habits and etiquette, and carry out corresponding gender equality education, safety education and health care education according to specific conditions.

In short, sex education in kindergarten should respect the characteristics of children's physical and mental development, pay attention to inspiration and inspiration, and start from simple aspects, rather than prematurely and excessively conducting sex education. When children enter adolescence, they should gradually strengthen the education of sexual knowledge, sexual behavior and sexual health.
