Teachers will teach parents embarrassing questions.

Don't, kindergarten teachers began to teach these? As soon as Ms. Song asked, she knew that her daughter's kindergarten really started to take the "sex education" class, and her daughter has changed a lot since then.

"When I used to go to the toilet, she often opened the door and stood by and watched." This behavior of her daughter once embarrassed her father, Mr. Wang. "She will also ask, Dad, why am I sitting in the toilet and you are standing?"

How to answer this question? Mr. Wang and his wife had a headache for a while: "I just wandered around and distracted her more often."

Speaking of it, Ms. Song and her wife are both teachers, and both feel that it is necessary to educate their children about sex. But how and when should we start teaching? The two are really not sure, and they always want to wait until the child is older before popularizing with her.

"I have always felt that 4 years old is too small." What they didn't expect was that this problem was solved after their daughter went to kindergarten. "She can understand the meaning of the word' development'. When I go to the toilet, she will never open the door suddenly again." Mr. Wang said.

What makes the couple happy is that their daughter has a sense of self-protection. "You point your finger at all parts of her body, and she can clearly answer where you can touch others and where you can't touch others."

For children of different ages

Launch different levels of theme activities.

Although the couple are happy with their daughter's change, they still have a question: Is it too early for children aged three or four to receive sex education?

In this regard, Tao Tao, director of Jinhua Experimental Kindergarten, explained:

"After long-term observation, such a small child is actually in a sensitive period of sexual organs." Teachers observed that when boys go to the toilet, some little girls will be curious to observe, so in the past year or two, kindergartens began to educate their children in this area, "such as my small hole, food travel and so on."

In fact, this is also a theme activity for children of all grades in kindergartens.

Director Tao also introduced that according to the two famous picture books "My Breast" and "My Little Chicken", combined with the children's acceptance ability, the kindergarten patiently explained them, mainly divided into "my body" and "self-protection".

"The five senses, hands and feet, the differences between boys and girls ..." Director Tao said that the contents of primary schools, middle schools and large classes are actually the same, but the education level will be different. For example, children in small classes will teach them how to protect their private parts. "Tell the little girl that two little breasts are two little pearls, and I will cherish them very much." A little bigger, it will extend to a deeper level, such as the function of breasts, which will secrete milk, provide nutrition and food for babies, and let children understand the basic functions of various organs.

Let's take a look at the popularity and development of sex education classes in various countries.

Britain: Compulsory education must start at the age of 5.

According to British law, compulsory sex education must start at the age of 5. According to the specific provisions of the "National Compulsory Curriculum", all public primary and secondary schools in Britain divide students into four stages according to different age levels and carry out sex education with different contents.

Sweden: Sex education through TV.

Sex education in Sweden, also known as "contraceptive education", is a model of worldwide education, and its early school sex education is one of the internationally recognized successful models of youth education.

From 65438 to 0942, Sweden began sex education for children over 7 years old. The content is that primary schools teach knowledge about pregnancy and fertility, middle schools teach knowledge about physiology and body functions, and universities focus on love, contraception and interpersonal relationship management. 1966, Sweden tried to implement sex education through TV, which broke the situation that parents could not talk about sex. This educational model has achieved remarkable results: the prevalence rate of sexually transmitted diseases is extremely low, and girls under the age of 20 are almost pregnant and have children. Up to now, the positive rate of HIV in China is only 5 132 cases, the birth rate has dropped significantly, the abortion rate is extremely low, and the proportion of sexually transmitted diseases and sexual crimes is also declining.

Finland: There are sex education books in kindergartens.

In the early 1970s, sex education entered the syllabus of primary and secondary schools in Finland, and even kindergartens had formal sex education books, which not only strengthened sex moral education, but also carried out sex education from the perspective of sexual health care.

Finland has a nature education book Our Body. Parents can talk about a paragraph every day like "One Thousand and One Nights", and sex education will naturally begin. After more than 30 years, sex education in Finland has achieved remarkable results and was set as a model by the World Conference on Population and Development.

Malaysia: 4-year-old children should also learn about sex.

A proposal on national education drafted by the Ministry of Women, Family and Social Development, the Ministry of Education, non-governmental organizations and educators was recently submitted to the Malaysian Cabinet and passed. Within two years, sex education will become a school course, allowing 4-year-old children to learn habits. Students will learn about human development, gender relations, marriage and family, communication skills and safe sex in sex education subjects.

Singapore: launching multimedia sex education materials

The Family Planning Association of Singapore has formulated a series of sex education programs for teenagers, with the emphasis on strictly controlling sexual behavior and sexual age. Up to 1999, more than 9000 citizens have received sex education courses, which have produced good results. In 2004, Singapore's Ministry of Education formulated a systematic sex education plan, designed a set of multimedia sex education textbooks "Growing Years Series" for junior high school students, and then launched three sets of "Growing Years Series" textbooks, which were suitable for students in senior primary schools, senior high schools and above.

United States: 1/3 schools carry out abstinence education.

From the first grade of primary school, the United States began to teach knowledge about fertility, gender differences and sexual morality. Junior high school talks about the reproductive process, sexual maturity and sexual restraint, while senior high school talks about marriage, family, sexual charm, homosexuality, sexually transmitted diseases, prostitution and sexual perversion, and distributes condoms to students.

In the recent 10 year,13 schools in the United States increased abstinence education, advocated postponing sex until marriage, and told students to practice safe sex. At present, 32 public schools in 0/4 cities in the United States have set up sex counseling rooms, which are also answered by children, and the contents are confidential to teachers and parents.

Holland: Children and parents discuss sexual topics at the dinner table.

The Dutch people's open sexual attitude left a deep impression on the whole world. However, the teenage pregnancy rate in the Netherlands is the lowest among European countries. In the Netherlands, like other courses, children begin to receive sex education when they enter primary school at the age of 6, and children even discuss this topic with their parents at the dinner table. Dutch education experts believe that early sex education for teenagers and even children can help teenagers know how to protect themselves and help them not to make regrets that they will regret for life because of a temporary sexual impulse or some ignorance about sex.
