I believe that every child is extremely curious about his body, and in the process of growing up, there will be many questions about the body.
Where did I come from? My body's hands, eyes, brain, mouth... What's the use of it? Why do I suddenly feel so uncomfortable? He's a boy, I'm a girl, why are we so different?
When a child asks a question, Mom and Dad may not know how to answer for a while.
Recommended this week - the popular science picture book "Our Body" can help parents answer their children's questions, teach them to understand the body at the same time, but also learn how to respect others and protect themselves.

The beginning of life
1.
"Dad and Mom are in love, and the baby is the crystallization of their love. Your baby's life begins in the mother's belly. Dad's sperm cells and Mom's egg cells combine to form a fertilized egg, which divides continuously, eventually forming a complete human structure. ”
"Slowly, our bodies grew little by little, and in two months we grew eyes, noses, mouths, ears, and at five months we kicked our mothers in the stomach, and at ten months we came down with our heads down, and we came into this world with the efforts of doctors and mothers."
Through high simulation of amniotic fluid bags, children understand their living environment in their mother's belly, and tell children how babies get nutrition and oxygen.
The process of growing up
2.
In fact, about one year old, the baby can distinguish between himself and others. He began to know that he was an independent individual, and began to know that everyone's body is different.
From this period onwards, children need to gradually build up their self-identity by knowing their bodies.
It is very important for parents to actively and correctly guide them.
Understanding the various parts of the body will make it easier for children to accept and understand the phenomena and events of daily life.
The mysteries of the body
3.
Growing up, every child has countless questions about their own body.
However, parents often can't solve this kind of question, and many children don't solve these questions little by little until they grow up to get answers.
So if, when we are young, we tell them in a simple and easy-to-understand way, "Our bodies work like this", will the children be more interested in the human body, and the biology class will be easier to learn?
Where does the food go?
Many babies will ask: Why do I pull the sticks? In "Our Bodies", by sliding buttons to demonstrate the digestive process of food, children can pull the buttons to clearly see the whole process of food from the esophagus to the stomach to the intestines, and finally to defecation.
Let's see where the hamburger goes after it's eaten by a child.
The cute painting style can not only let children understand the structure of the human body, but also do not cause them to be disgusted, so that children can intuitively understand how our body works.
What are immune organs?
It turns out that the tonsils, lymph nodes, spleen... It is an immune organ that protects human health, but the immune system of children is relatively fragile, and it needs to be vaccinated to improve immunity and resist the invasion of germs.
Differences between men and women
4.
As children age, their body organs gradually show gender characteristics. Boys will grow beards and throat knots, while girls will slowly grow larger breasts and sharper voices. At this time, we need to tell them that boys and girls are different.
Moreover, we should also focus on telling them that we can't let people other than Mom and Dad touch their bodies casually, and learn to say "don't" out loud!
Bruner, an American psychologist and professor at Harvard University, once said: "Any knowledge can be taught to children of any age in an appropriate way." ”
Children's life education needs to start from an early age and fully understand their own bodies, so that they can learn to protect themselves and learn to defend themselves.
In life, many parents will ignore their children's questions about our bodies, but in fact, good physical cognition is the premise of self-protection. Let children understand the importance of various parts of the body, which parts are their own secrets, can not let others touch casually, even parents can not, so as to help children establish a sense of self-protection.
