Sex education for children need to remember this

* Below is a story about sexeducation for children that is being widely shared on the Toutiao platform and attracting a lot of attention from many parents.

Ms. Tieu Thanh’s daughter is currently in kindergarten at the age of 4. One time when she went to school to pick her child up, she was shocked to see a boy in the same class kissing her daughter on the lips. Because it was so unexpected, Ms. Thanh did not know how to handle it. At this time, Ms. Hieu Khanh - the homeroom teacher of the two children, came over to ask.

- Why did you kiss your friend?

- Because I like him very much.

After listening, Ms. Hieu Khanh immediately patted the boy's head: "But you have to ask if he agrees or not, and there are other ways to express love, right?" The boy heard this from the teacher, nodded and walked away without a care. As for Tieu Thanh, after hearing the teacher's reminder, she gently told her child , "You are a girl, and he is a boy. You are not allowed to kiss your friend without his consent. Do you remember?"

Ms. Hieu Khanh's skillful and gentle handling of this situation made Ms. Thanh extremely satisfied. Parents who heard the story also praised the teacher for not threatening or scolding the two children, making them feel embarrassed and ashamed.

3 things parents need to do when their children encounter similar situations

1. Disseminate sex knowledge to children from an early age

Children can perceive gender from a young age. A 3-year-old child knows that “mom is a girl, dad is a boy”, but they do not know what to pay attention to. At this time, parents need to show their children the difference between boys and girls. You should also let your children know what to keep in mind when communicating and making friends with the opposite sex. Parents can use vivid metaphors such as images in cartoons to help children understand better.

2. Correct perception of friendship between sons and daughters

When parents notice their children being intimate with children of the opposite sex, they should avoid using harsh words and actions. Many children do not have a concept of the opposite sex, so parents should treat their children gently at this time to avoid damaging the friendship between the two children. We can tell our children: "When you want to kiss or be kissed by someone else, you must first ask your parents and then your friends to see if it is okay."

3. Teach children to express love in many different ways

For children, when they have not been taught by their parents, they do not have the concept of the opposite sex, so they do not know the need to keep a distance in some aspects. A simple kiss can be a way for children to imitate adults to express their feelings.

Parents can teach their children other ways to express affection that are appropriate to their age and emotions. For example, if they want to express affection for someone, they can give them candy, give them a gift, or spend time playing with that friend.

As parents, observing your child’s behavior, speech and educating them about sex from an early age is extremely important. Parents need to be tactful and choose a way of communicating that is appropriate to their child’s age, so that they understand what they should and should not do.
