Ms. Tran Thi Que Chi - Deputy Director of the Institute of Educational Sciences and Ms. Le Phuong Lan - Director of the Department of Population and Family Planning of Dong Nai province shared the importance of sex education for children as early as possible. According to Ms. Phuong Lan, preschool children are not yet aware of the acts of abuse due to the habits of adults in the family such as touching sensitive parts, calling body organs with alternative words, causing children to misunderstand this abuse as a manifestation of affection. Parents should also pay attention and remind relatives how to respect children's bodies, teaching children how to respect their own bodies.

Mr. Ho Duc Hung emphasized: "For a long time, many people thought that children had to start learning when they were older, from primary school and above. We were hesitant when it came to teaching sex education to children. But now many organizations and individuals have been more bold in teaching sex education to children from an early age because the knowledge and skills have been standardized...".

ERA sex education book series on abuse prevention skills for children 3 - 15 years old (bilingual), including many topics

It is known that the age from 3 to 6 years old is considered the key period of sexuality. At this age, preschool children are in a special sexual stage. This is also the stage when children have excessive love for their parents (of the opposite sex) or have narcissistic personality syndrome. The reason is that during this period, children develop their sexual identity and are increasingly curious about gender. Children from 6 to 15 years old are in the stage when they are forming and developing physiologically, psychologically, socially, and gradually perfecting themselves. This is the stage that greatly affects their future personality."
