In fact, sex education is a very big field. If you want to write in detail, you can probably write a thick book. Because I do sex education for children under 14. So I'll share some knowledge with you from what I know about sex education under 14 years old. In order to avoid verbosity and complicated truth, I try to make things clear, easy to understand and easy to operate.
The reading structure of this answer is as follows:
1. Children's sexual knowledge that children of all ages need to master;
2. What should conservative parents do in sex education?
3. What should parents who want to educate their children themselves do if they recognize sex education?
Summarize.
First of all, children of every age only need to master what they should know at their age. You don't need to tell a 4-year-old child many technical terms such as the composition of fallopian tubes, ovaries, prostate and sperm. (The age range divided by each age group is only a rough range, indicating that most children may have such a situation at this age group, and there is such a doubt. )
So what kind of knowledge do children of all ages generally need?
Generally speaking, children under the age of 5 may need to master:
1, Birth Education: Knowing that you were born from your mother's stomach, not a trash can. (How to talk about fertility with children is explained in detail below. Many parents think it's okay to tell their children that they picked it up from the trash can. Maybe this is just an adult joke. Even adults will think this is a joke when they think about it. However, have you ever thought that when you get this answer, the child is actually lost, depressed and even inferior. Parents who give themselves a sense of security have nothing to do with themselves, but just throw them away like garbage and pick them up again;
2. "Gender education": Tell the child whether he/she is a boy or a girl, because the boy has a penis and the girl has a vulva. Boys and girls can also be excellent. Boys stand to pee, girls squat to pee. Boys go to the men's room and girls go to the women's room. Boys can be strong or gentle. Girls can be gentle or strong.
3. "Understanding of Private Parts": Tell children that the place covered by underwear vest can't be seen by others, let alone touched by others. Don't even peek at others'. It's normal to be curious about other people's bodies, but you can't touch other people's private parts. Because this is an uncivilized thing. Parents should not take their children to the opposite sex bathhouse;
4. "behavioral boundaries related to sexual organs": when touching genitals, hands must be kept clean. You can't touch your hands when they are dirty, and you can't play with genitals with pens and paper. The most important thing is not to play in front of others. Because that's a private part. If you always want to play with it, tell your parents that we can play games, visit parks and watch cartoons together.
What children aged 5-8 need to master is:
1. Know your body: Know all parts of your body, including reproductive organs, and know their names and functions. And take good care of your body and wash your genitals every day.
