It is said that Japan is very "open", although it may not be as good as Europe and the United States, but in the Asian region, it is one of the more open countries, of course, this refers mainly to the ideological aspect. In the case of children's sex education in Japan, it can be described as "hardcore".
Before a Japanese blogger posted a message about children's sex education in their country, Japanese children in 3 to 5 years old this kindergarten is free, this is Japan in order to increase the population to give welfare policies, so most Japanese parents will also send them to kindergarten when their children are three years old.
Children's gender consciousness will begin to sprout around the age of three, so the Japanese education guide mentions that this stage can start sex education for children. In this regard, Japanese kindergartens implement the most direct way of education, although not to the extent that children observe real people, but also made simulated human bodies, both boys and girls, and adult women and men.
A friend next to me who studied in Japan also visited the kindergarten, and when she saw the simulated human body, she felt blushing. But then I thought about it, after all, for children, their cognition is not yet sound, so they may not feel that there is anything wrong with looking at these human organs.
But many Japanese netizens do not think so, think that for children, the age is too small, many children at the age of three are still not fluent in speech, they look at those simulated human body, will there really be this concept of gender? Do you really understand it?
Of course, some people think this method is very good, because it can make children clearly aware of the difference between men and women, at least in terms of body structure. Children do not have to go home to ask their parents, parents do not have to be embarrassed about how to answer their children, targeted children's sex education is still very necessary.
Children's sex education is a systematic project, and parents do not need to talk about "sexual" discoloration
The World Health Organization has previously pointed out that when the child is 2 to 3 years old, gender consciousness will emerge, depending on individual differences, some children may enter the gender role earlier, some children will be a little later, but most of them are in this stage. For children in this age group, WHO also recommends that parents should start to give their children universal gender education.
From the most basic respect for gender differences, learning to care for basic sexual hygiene, etc., the scope of this is as small as washing hands after defecation, which may not be known by many parents, in fact, this also belongs to the scope of sex education, just because many parents in China cannot correctly view sex education, so that even they have not learned this knowledge.
The second stage of children's sex education is in the stage of children's 6 years old to 10 years old, from this stage, the child's gender awareness has been strengthened, self-care ability has begun to enhance, then it is necessary to popularize more comprehensive basic knowledge of sexual hygiene for children, and at the same time tell children that they should do self-protection, self-esteem and self-love, which are the most basic, but it is also necessary to tell children's knowledge.
After the child enters puberty, this stage of sex education is also indispensable, they begin to have a hazy sexual consciousness, the first sexual symbol of girls is menarche, and boys are sperm, these should be normal physiological knowledge, but also within the scope of children's sex education, but many parents in the face of children but feel difficult to talk about. You know, the child at this stage began to have curiosity about the opposite sex, if not correct education, then whether it is in the child's care of physiological health knowledge, or the principle of dating, self-protection and other aspects, there may be wrong cognition, and finally difficult to accept the consequences.
Of course, many parents are not unaware of the importance of children's sex education, but do not know how to carry out the correct sex education. Just like a questionnaire survey done by a kindergarten in Chongqing before, it was found that more than 80% of parents attach importance to children's sex education, but only 30% of them really do it, and most of the remaining parents do not implement it because they do not know how to do it.
For children before the age of six, it is best to use animation, books, etc., and as children grow up, they can continue to explore methods in this process. Parents should take sex education as an educational mission, can not use the eyes of adults to look at the children's unknown problems, and will not feel embarrassed, or difficult to talk about,
It should be known that children's sex education should not only involve sexual knowledge, sexual hygiene, etc., but also education on sexual morality, psychology, and three views, only in this way can we comprehensively guide children, otherwise even if we only understand one-sided knowledge, we may not be able to guide children's behavior.
