Children have not stopped exploring sexual organs. In the bathroom, it is very common for children to touch their genitals and take a look at their genitals. It is also common for kindergarten children to look at each other's genitals in the bathroom and during a nap. Many children let their parents take a bath and go to the toilet, which is also common in many families. For the children coming into this world, they are full of curiosity about everything. In their eyes, the sex organs are no different from the nose and eyes, and they are all part of their bodies.
Before the child is 6 years old, parents can naturally answer the child's sexual questions, such as "Where am I from", to satisfy the child's curiosity about sex. For example, before the age of 4, let the children watch their parents take a bath calmly. Then, after children enter primary school, sexual development will be a smooth transition until adolescence. But many parents can't do this, so the children bring the problem before the age of 6 to primary school.
Before the child is 6 years old, we should help the child to establish sexual morality in childhood, that is, you should not expose your body in front of others at will, look at and touch the private parts of others' bodies at will, and no one should look at and touch their private parts at will. You should respect the privacy of others. Sexual activities are privacy, and you should avoid others. Children have established such moral concepts before the age of 6, and manage their sexual activities with such moral concepts. After the age of 7, children will not have the above performance, because children have internalized the concept of respecting themselves and others.
Children should be told the knowledge of physical development before their sexual physiological development, how to get along with the opposite sex before their sexual psychological development, and sexual morality and legal system before their sexual behavior development. This is an education to teach children to manage their sexual impulses, which is the responsibility of adults. There is no such course at school now, and parents should be responsible. If parents are irresponsible, children can only learn sexual information from the internet, pornographic movies and books, which will arouse their sexual impulses, but they cannot be taught to manage their sexual impulses!
Children aged 6-7 should learn two things. The first content is "boys and girls are different", which is mainly to help children understand the physical differences between boys and girls, understand the hygiene and health of genitals and how to protect them, understand and protect their private parts, and learn to respect other people's bodies. The second content is "Where am I from?" Understand the process of life, let children know that they are the fruits of their parents' love, know how to love their parents, and know that their lives are hard-won.
On the basis of learning the curriculum for children aged 6-7, children aged 8-9 should learn the third content "prevention of injury", guide children to understand the importance of protecting their privacy, teach children to distinguish good contact from bad contact with others, and teach children to protect themselves and avoid sexual injury.
10~ 1 1 year-old children should learn how to accept the changes of the body during adolescence on the basis of learning the course of "Changes of the Body during Adolescence" for children aged 8-9, so that children can understand the physiological changes of adolescence and guide them to meet adolescence with a sunny attitude.
12~ 13 children, ranging in age from the sixth grade of primary school to the first grade of junior high school. On the basis of learning 10~ 1 1 year-old children's curriculum, children in this age group have to learn three additional contents. First, "puppy love and morning exercises" will make adolescent children interested in the opposite sex and let them know themselves correctly. The second book "Prevention of AIDS" lets children understand the transmission route of AIDS, pay attention to avoiding the spread of AIDS in daily life, and learn to care for and help HIV-infected people. Third, "refuse drugs and cherish life" let children know what drugs are, why drugs are addictive, the physical and mental harm that drug abuse brings to individuals, and learn how to refuse drugs.
Sexual health education is about gender, life, love, self-protection, emotion, responsibility, morality and legal system. It needs to run through the whole growth process of children, so that children can really learn to be responsible for their own lives, their own emotions and their own lives, in order to get a happy life in the future.
