It's too late to teach when the children grow up!

Phenomenon:

In recent years, there have been frequent cases of child sexual abuse, and the growth problems caused by the lack of sex education have emerged one after another. Many parents are not aware of this and think it is not good to talk about such a sensitive topic when their children are young. When they grow up, they will naturally understand that this is actually very wrong.

Reason:

In fact, children have long noticed the differences between the two sexes, and it is very normal to be curious about sex and body. Around the age of 3, children will enter the "sexual germination period." Experts generally believe that the earlier children's sex education begins, the better. Six years old is the best time to start sex education for children. Foreign sex education also begins in kindergarten, which is very necessary for children to establish their own awareness of protection and sexual psychological development.

Method:

First of all, don't be taboo! Generous answer!

It is not necessary to be harsh, taboo or taboo, but to answer children's questions with languages, images and picture books that children can understand, such as "You were born from your mother's stomach". Or let him observe the difference of his body while taking a bath, tell the names of organs and how to go to the toilet, guide the child to have a clear concept of private parts, satisfy his curiosity about sex, and let him know that this is a natural and normal thing.

Secondly, help children to establish sexual concepts from the role behavior.

When children gradually have a clear concept of gender, they can start with their daily life and let them know about gender role behaviors in the form of friends, such as what is the difference between mom and dad, and boys should respect girls and tell them what they can and can't do, and others can't touch private parts, which can help children establish correct sexual awareness and behavior concepts.

Summary:

Parents are the most important first teachers in children's sex education. Don't wait until the child is old to teach.
