“Dad’s intestines went into mom’s belly”, the 4-year-old son asked, and the dad came up with an explanation in his haste.

Many parents may avoid the issue of sex education in their daily education of their children, and instead use other methods to explain sex-related issues to their children. But this is not conducive to the correct formation of children's sexual consciousness. The correct education method is actually to better protect children.

Case analysis:

Such an incident happened to my colleague Xiao Xiao recently. Yu Xiao is a young mother. Her son is already 4 years old, so she and her husband decided to let the child sleep in his own room. Every night she would put the child to sleep first, and then go back to her room to sleep.

One time, because the child was asleep, she did not lock the door to her room. That night, the child woke up in the middle of the night looking for his mother, so he came to Yu's room and happened to catch Yu being intimate with her husband. Seeing his parents' actions, the 4-year-old son asked: "How did daddy's intestines get into mommy's belly?"

Suddenly, Yu Yu and her husband were stunned. Looking at his son's big confused eyes, his father quickly explained: "This is an act of love between mom and dad. Mom and dad are expressing their love! But this can only be done between husband and wife." The son seemed to understand. Nodding, he seemed to understand what his father meant.

It will be very embarrassing if parents are caught by their children while engaging in intimate activities. At the same time, children will ask many questions when they see such a scene.

What should parents do when this happens?

1. Let the children understand that parents are expressing their feelings

Many parents may avoid this issue in such situations, but this will make the children's curiosity stronger and stronger. . Not only will he not give up, he will even want to know the answer.

The correct approach is that parents must first learn to comfort their children and tell them that they behave like this because they love each other.

By doing this, you are expressing your feelings to each other. But what needs more attention is that children should understand that such behavior can only be carried out between husband and wife.

2. Cultivate children's safety awareness

In addition to giving correct explanations to their children, parents must also let their children understand that they will also have such intimate behaviors when they grow up. . At the same time, parents must also learn to cultivate their children's awareness of sexual safety.

Let your children know that if someone does this to them, they must immediately resist and refuse, and they must tell their parents. It is very important for children to know how to protect themselves.

3. Knock on the door when entering Mom and Dad’s room

In addition to the above problems, you should also pay attention to one thing when educating your children. You must be polite when entering other people’s rooms. Knock on the door before entering, even if it is your parents' room.

At the same time, letting the child understand this problem can also divert the child's attention to a certain extent and prevent the child from focusing too much on what he just encountered. Parents should also set an example and knock on the door before entering their child's room.

It is very normal for children to have curiosity and awareness about sex as they grow. What parents have to do at this time is to guide their children correctly so that they can form correct sexual awareness concepts.

Things about sex education

Sexual awareness has begun to sprout when a child is 3 years old. At this time, parents should not confuse their children's gender concepts. For example, don’t let boys wear braids and skirts. More importantly, parents need to sleep in separate beds with their children at this time.

When a child is 6 years old, his awareness of gender will become clearer, and his curiosity about the opposite sex will also increase. At this time, parents need to provide correct guidance in a timely manner and avoid inappropriate behavior in front of their children.

At the same time, when the child is 6 years old, parents will sleep in separate rooms with their children. If you cannot bear to sleep in separate rooms because your children are relatively young, then you should do it when your children are 8 years old at the latest.

In daily life, when children directly raise questions about sex, parents should not avoid it, but should answer their children's questions head-on. Use explanations that the child can accept to guide the child to form a correct sexual awareness.
