Sexual education occupies an important place in the pedagogical arsenal of parents. His baby begins to understand his sex from the first days of his life. It is the family that has the main role in the education of the boy as a man, and the girl as the future woman.
It is important to know that immediately after birth, you need to pay attention to how the external genitalia of the baby are formed. Any violations of the anatomy of external sexual characters are more easily amenable to correction in early childhood. Watch closely how the sexual organs of the child develop. Any abnormalities: excessive or inadequate development, inflammation, asymmetric disposition, impaired urination, especially in boys, require immediate medical intervention.The child is very interested in his body. He begins to explore it immediately, as he learns to coordinate the movements of his hands. Understand that such self-examination is a normal stage of sexual education of the child of the first three years of life. Do not frighten or scold the baby so as not to cause him fear and guilt. Your wrong behavior can lead to the fact that the child will have complexes and a desire to do something secretly.
At the age of 3 to 6 years old, the baby begins to be interested in his sex differences from his peers, his brothers and sisters, and also from his parents. This interest is a manifestation of children's curiosity and is not of a sexual nature. Therefore, any experiments at this age should not be punishable, but only your soft direction in the "frame of decency".
Thanks to your attention, the child will soon understand his own sex. Explain to him how a woman differs from a man, a boy from a girl. Useful for a three-year-old boy can be the game "Boy or Girl": offer him two naked figures, one of which should be dressed in women's clothing, and the other - in men's clothing. For this game you should have sets of "female", "male", neutral clothing, toys for boys, girls and neutral. It is necessary to teach the child to treat his own body without fear and prejudice, to clarify all questions calmly, using the necessary examples from books and life.
Sexual maturation of a child is not possible without the normal sexual life of his parents. Be natural, the kid should know that mom and dad love each other. Family life of parents is an example for a child in the relationship between a man and a woman.
It is not necessary when a child walks naked. It is completely unacceptable for a toddler to witness intimate scenes on TV and parents themselves!
From early childhood, the boy takes an example from his father, rehearsing his sexual role in the future. For the girl, mother is an example. You have to become a good example for the child to follow.
In informing the child, the main thing is not to overdo it. Talk to him about sexuality from a position of trust and respect, an accessible language for his age, but do not simplify everything too much (before storks and cabbage).
If you see that your child is masturbating, do not threaten or punish him. It is better not to focus on this. Try to understand why he does it. Masturbation can be a way to relieve stress, and, sometimes, unfortunately, the only way to calm down and have fun. In this case, give the child more attention, surround him with warmth and love. Sometimes this habit is fixed by a narrow underwear that rubs, or insufficient purity of the genitals, which causes itching. Closely monitor the cleanliness of the baby's clothes and hygiene.
We wish good luck in the field of correct sexual education of your baby!
