The purpose of sex education is to guide children to learn correct sexual knowledge and to form a healthy sexual psychology and sexual morality. Family sex education often do not need to lecture, so do not use "didactic" mode, good family sex education should be in the daily life of penetration and infection, can be from the children's dental period of dress, inappropriate language jokes, to the kindergarten men and women's toilets are separated, elementary school stage about the opposite sex, about the love of the strange words, and then to the secondary school period of the hazy, the most important thing is that the children's sexuality and the love of the children, and then to the children's sexuality.

Early sex education in the United States is 0-5 years old. And the main points of sex education generally include: establishing correct and appropriate gender roles; preventing sexual repression and inhibition from an early age; and correctly answering sexual questions raised by children. Dr. Pirsa, a famous American sex therapist, believes that parents should follow the following principles when educating young children about sex:

1. Parents should never formally "talk about sex", but rather look for appropriate opportunities to educate, and can also use sex education as an introduction to children's sexuality through the use of illustrated books, illustrated books and storytelling. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what is going on in your life and that you have a good understanding of what is going on in your life, and that you have a good understanding of what is going on in your life.

2, sex education does not have to be the same gender thing, as long as the child has doubts, both parents can talk. Psychologists believe that 2-4 years old is an important period of sex education for children, in psychology, there is a sex bud period, is specifically referred to around the age of 3 years old young children have a special stage of psychological development, this period of time the child to raise the issue of sex is not because of their own physiological needs, but simply to satisfy their curiosity. So when your child asks you, don't be vague or shy, and don't be rude, you should respond positively to your child's curiosity and face the issue of sexuality openly.

3, sex education, the first thing to emphasize is "what can be done", rather than "what can not be done". Parents can tell the picture book in addition, you can also accompany the child to watch some sex education science and technology video, such as the United States to prevent sexual assault short film "How to tell your child", etc., through the video to tell and guide the child what can be done, which is not allowed.

4. Sex and love education is not a once-in-a-lifetime thing, it's something that needs to be sustained, so don't expect to immunize your child for life with one education. In addition, both parents should teach at the same time, and both parents are the closest examples of loving and being loved.

According to the different ages of young children, the following education can be made:

1. For young children aged 0-3 years old, parents should tell their children:

(1) Every child's body belongs to him or her, and help children to recognize their own gender correctly, so that they can understand the differences between the two sexes;

(2) Strangers are not allowed to touch your body, but certain adults are not allowed to touch your body. But it is OK for certain adults to touch your body, such as parents giving your child a bath, or a doctor or nurse checking your child's body;
