What are the basic principles of children's sex education?
The basic principles of children's sex education are: early education, inevitability and equality.

1, early education:

It is better to teach early than late. Early childhood is a critical stage in the development of children's personality, temperament and gender consciousness. Children have a clear understanding of gender and should pay special attention to training. Children are innocent, so it is much better to let them know some gender knowledge earlier than to let them learn shyness and adult taboos and figure it out for themselves.

Theoretically, the gender differences between men and women, especially the primary sexual characteristics, can be solved before children's puberty. As far as the current social and cultural situation is concerned, it is best to answer the difference of primary sexual characteristics between men and women before the age of 5. Sex education should be more advanced, but it is inseparable from children's understanding ability.

2. Inevitable:

In the face of children's doubts about gender, parents must correctly guide, patiently explain, don't avoid, don't deceive children. Children may ask these questions: Where was it born? Why does dad pee standing and mom pee sitting? Why can mom and dad sleep together, but they have to sleep in a room by themselves?

This is an inevitable problem in the process of children's growth. As parents, don't avoid, don't escape, don't fool children with "I'll understand when I grow up", but arouse their curiosity. Children can speak with their parents' bodies before the age of 5, but after the age of 5, it is more appropriate to use books, audio-visual materials and other methods.

3, the concept of equality:

Parents can't let their children have gender discrimination from an early age, especially discrimination against girls. A few parents prefer sons to daughters, which makes their children feel inferior from an early age. There is also a kind of doting on boys, which is also an unequal thought.

The latest research shows that boys from one-child families are generally favored by mothers, most likely gay and sissy. Preference for boys and superior family conditions are likely to lead to the phenomenon that children have vague gender cognition during this period.
