When can I educate my children about sex?
The first problem that parents are confused about is that they don't know when sex education will start. Some people think it will start from adolescence, while others think it will start from adulthood. These views are all wrong. If children are not educated about sex in time, they will encounter a lot of confusion.

For example, a girl, 10 years old, will have her period. If she doesn't know this knowledge in advance, she will think that she is ill, don't know how to deal with it, and dare not tell her family, and there will be some psychological obstacles.

In fact, sex education should start from the moment of birth, not necessarily until adolescence, let alone adulthood. In different periods, different sex education should be carried out for children, step by step, and every age stage of children's growth can not be absent.

1)0-3 years old

0-3 years old is the first golden age of sex education. Children around 2 years old are gender-conscious, particularly curious about their own bodies, and like to observe the differences between their own bodies and others. Therefore, we should have the consciousness of sex education.

2)4-6 years old

Children aged 4-6 are more knowledgeable and more curious, and they will think of more complicated questions, such as "Where am I from?" "Why is there a special change in my body?" At the same time, I will be curious about the opposite sex or have some special hobbies. These questions need parents to answer positively to prevent children from being in a state of chaos.

3)7- 10 years old

When children go to primary school, their literacy increases. If they see some sensitive topics, they will be curious and ask questions. After the age of 7, the number of contacts with outsiders increases, and it is easy to become a victim of sexual assault. Therefore, it is very important to teach children to know sexual assault in advance and deal with it correctly.

4) Adolescence

The physical characteristics of adolescent children will change, and some unacceptable physiological phenomena will gradually appear. If children don't have corresponding knowledge reserves, they will feel scared and at a loss. Therefore, sex education at this stage is the most important.

1) for privacy protection.

Many parents like to wear open-backed pants for their children, and even take some photos and post them on the Internet. I didn't know when the child was young, so it's easy to say. It will be embarrassing to see such photos when children grow up.

If you always don't pay attention to protecting your child's privacy when you are young, and your child doesn't protect his own consciousness, he feels normal when he is violated by others. Pay attention to shielding children from an early age and tell them not to let others touch the part covered by underwear.

2) Introduction of body parts

Children around 2 years old will be curious about body parts and always touch private parts. If we look at this problem with our usual thinking, we will worry that children will not learn well and endanger our health, so we will try to stop their behavior.

3) Develop hygienic habits

We don't know that getting children to develop good hygiene habits is also part of sex education. Parents think that private parts are sensitive parts and will not wash their children carefully. Naturally, children will not learn how to clean them. When the body is abnormal, it is too late to deal with it.

Prepare special pots and towels for children from an early age, and carefully help children clean their private parts, just like hair and other parts of the body. When the child can wash himself, let him learn to wash himself and gradually develop good habits.

4) Correctly handle some hobbies

Children of different ages will have some different hobbies, such as:

Like other people's feet;

Like items of other sexes;

Like watching movies;

Like to pinch your legs or something.

When we see these behaviors, we will make a fuss, think that children are bad at school, and we will subconsciously reprimand them.

1) Answer children's questions generously in a language they can understand.

When a child asks a sensitive question, we feel embarrassed. At first, we blush, so it's hard to tell, so we hide it when we answer. If a child can't get an accurate answer from his parents, he will seek the Internet by himself. If he sees something bad, he will get deeper and deeper.

It is better to answer their questions generously in a language that children can understand, so that children can really understand.

For example, the most common question "Where am I from?" We will tell the child directly that he came out of his mother's stomach. When he has further questions, he will combine scientific language, translate them into expressions suitable for children's age and explain them to him clearly.

2) In addition to what is forbidden, tell children what is appropriate.

If children have some bad habits, we will ban them in a limited way. In addition to prohibited items, it is also necessary to tell children what behaviors can be done, so that children can put them away freely.

For example, a child in primary school learns TV pictures and kisses another child. The other child is unhappy and disgusting. In this case, we should tell children that the way to express love between children is to hug or hold hands, not to kiss. Kissing is an expression, which will only be used when the two sides like each other when they grow up.
