How should parents implement sex education for their children? Children's sex education should start from two aspects

Many parents say they have no idea how to provide sex education to their children. Regarding this, experts remind that providing adolescent sex education to children does not require lengthy discussions or fuss, and being good at utilizing opportunities in daily life is more effective.

1、 In front of the TV

If you find it difficult to find the right time in life to talk about sex with your child, then you are wrong. There are too many clues in life, about men and women, about sex, about differences. A TV program is an example. Whether it's news, cartoons, variety shows, or even idol dramas that children enjoy, they often see topics about boys and girls, physical health, and intimacy interspersed, some positive and some negative. At this point, parents can use a relaxed and humorous tone to provide their children with appropriate sexual knowledge. There's no need to argue or make a big fuss, don't forget, you're still enjoying the program. Just a small point, reminding children to correct incorrect information, extend important concepts, or connect with real-life situations can not only provide facts, but also increase opportunities for children to practice self judgment on these contents.

2、 Reading, Dialogue

Currently, many books on gender relations and sex education are not suitable for school-age children to read; In fact, older children are very easy to browse more novels and comics containing sexual topics in bookstores, and the quality of them varies, making it difficult to filter them out. It is recommended that parents accompany their children in searching for good books, and then read, observe, and think together to gain more accurate knowledge. When a child becomes more interested, confused, and actively asks questions or initiates a conversation, it is the best time to discuss. You can know what the child's main questions are, where they come from, and the level of understanding they have through their questioning. At the same time, discussing the reading content or topic will not be too awkward. However, parents should remember to be patient and listen carefully to their children's words first.

3、 Guide children to appreciate their growth and build confidence

The physical development of school-age children will gradually make them pay attention to their appearance, characteristics, and whether they are liked by everyone. Especially at this stage, children often form strong and stable gender stereotypes, with thoughts such as' all other girls... 'and' boys just want to... 'becoming important indicators of self-evaluation. However, during the development process, it is important to have sufficient nutrition, physical and mental health, develop the potential for learning various skills, and establish a positive sense of self independence and identity. It is recommended that parents try to avoid preventing their children from discussing their bodies, and do not use gender indicators to praise or criticize their children. On the contrary, children can be encouraged in many aspects of life, guiding them to see their own development, observe their progress, and rejoice in their growth. Only by truly respecting and appreciating themselves and others can children feel their own value and build self-confidence.
