How old can boys have sex education?

Nowadays, people are more and more aware of the importance of sex education. Both boys and girls should receive sex education. So, how old can boys have sex education?

As soon as a child is born, as long as he can see with his eyes and listen with his ears, he will start to look at his parents' appearance and various behaviors to see what is the difference between them. In this process, the child begins to know men and women, and when he is two and a half to three years old, he can confirm his gender. Therefore, domestic experts tend to agree on how old children are to have sex education. They think it is too late for parents to wait until their children reach puberty, but in fact, the earlier sex education begins, the better. 0-3 years old is a very critical period. Some people of insight also suggested that sex education should start from the age of zero, even in the mother's belly.

Therefore, from the birth of a child, parents should always pay attention to cultivating and educating the child's correct sexual concept through verbal and non-verbal means, help the child to establish a correct and appropriate sense of gender identity as soon as possible, and let the child realize his gender role. When children are older, they will be curious about sex and ask some questions about sex. At this time, parents should not shy away, but answer with words and ways that children can understand and accept, so that children's curiosity can be satisfied.

The focus of sex education for boys

As we all know, sex education for children is different for boys and girls, and parents can't simply and rudely apply it across the board. Sex education should be based on the characteristics of boys and girls. So, what is the focus of sex education for boys?

Sex education includes many aspects such as sex physiology, psychology, morality and ethics. Generally speaking, sex education for children has four main tasks. One is to teach children scientific sexual knowledge, including human sexual organs and reproductive system, human gender, sexual development and sexual orientation, and how to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. The second is to provide education on sexual values and attitudes. The third is to teach children to protect themselves from infringement. The fourth is to cultivate children's good living habits and let them have a sound future.

How to avoid the confusion of boys' gender consciousness

In modern society, fathers are relatively absent from family sex education, especially for boys, which is also an important reason for the confusion of boys' gender consciousness. So, how to avoid the confusion of boys' gender consciousness?

To avoid the confusion of boys' gender consciousness, the most important thing is that fathers should participate in the process of children's growth as much as possible. Studies have shown that if a baby is brought up by his father at four or five months, the child will be braver and have a relatively strong ability to adapt to the environment in the future. In addition, one important thing for my father is to cultivate boys to develop the habit of sports. Cultivating children's exercise habits can not only strengthen their health, but also have a significant positive effect on successfully passing through adolescence. Of course, both men and women need exercise, but boys need more vigorous exercise. Therefore, as a father, even if he is not good at sports, he should actively encourage his children to do sports and cultivate their habits.

In addition, boys' gender awareness should also be cultivated as soon as possible. The three or four-year-old boy began to realize that he was a man, and he couldn't help showing his brave and powerful nature through the means at his disposal. Therefore, when boys are three or four years old, they should also consciously cultivate their masculinity.

How to educate boys about sex?

The focus of sex education for boys and girls is different, so the means and contents of sex education will be different. So, how to educate boys about sex?

In fact, children around the age of three will know their gender very well. At this time, we should pay attention to two principles in sex education for boys. The first is to let boys have a positive image of all parts of the body, and the second is to let boys know how to protect their bodies.

Let boys know about their bodies, and don't be as serious and orthodox as teachers teach students. There are many natural ways in life. For example, to bathe a boy, you can tell him the names and functions of various parts of your body. Also, boys should be instilled with the concept of privacy from the beginning of sex education. For example, when changing clothes in public places, tell him not to change clothes in public places, but to find a sheltered place, because some parts of his body are private. At the same time, we should teach boys to respect their privacy and the privacy of others. No one else has the right to view or touch this section without permission. In this way, boys can naturally know their gender and realize the differences between men and women.

In addition, for children's sexual problems, mothers should try to tell him in simple language. These are all natural things, so that children can have a correct and scientific understanding of the body, and hiding them may be counterproductive.
