Despite the fact that the importance of sex education has become more widely accepted in recent years, it is still often a taboo topic. Even now, many parents find it difficult to talk to their children about their sexual well-being.
Therefore, our goal today is to understand how to communicate with a child on topics related to sex education. Moreover, interest in the topic of sexuality is natural for teenagers and is greatly enhanced when this topic is prohibited.
In general, you should start talking about sexual relations with your child when he starts asking relevant questions. But if she does not ask them, then after the crisis of three years, it is necessary to have a conversation to explain the difference between a boy and a girl and talk about the «panty rule» (that is, no one should touch the child by those parts of the body that are usually covered by underwear).
The next stage is the child's transition to adolescence, when puberty occurs. It is necessary for parents to come to the aid of their children during this period,
promoting the development of concepts of healthy sexuality and a reasonable attitude towards one's body. It is worth initiating not a lecture, but a dialogue with the teenager, which will be sincere and based on respect.
So, no matter how difficult some stages of upbringing may seem, they can always be overcome. If you have any questions, the pediatricians of the Mother's House can always advise you on the best course of action.
Sexual education. Taboo topics?
