How to make children's sexual development healthier?

Children's sexual development is a natural process. Parents should respect children's individual differences, provide appropriate sex education and guidance according to their age and development stage, and help children to understand and develop sex healthily.

Here are some suggestions:

1. Equal respect for children's gender and physical privacy. Parents should treat their children's gender and physical privacy with equal respect, and don't use traditional gender roles and stereotypes to restrict their children's behavior and thoughts.

2. Provide correct sexual knowledge and education. Parents can timely convey correct sexual knowledge and education to their children within their children's cognitive level, including reproductive organs, physiological cycle, contraceptive methods, prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and so on.

3. Cultivate children's awareness of self-protection. Parents should help their children develop a sense of self-protection, teach them how to avoid sexual assault and harassment, how to identify bad behaviors and words, and tell them that they can seek help from their parents or other trustworthy people in inappropriate occasions.

4. Encourage children to respect others and their feelings. Parents should encourage their children to respect others and their feelings, do not force their children to accept things they don't like, and do not let them accept behaviors that don't respect themselves and others.

5. Provide children with appropriate personality education. Parents can help their children understand different genders and sexual orientations by reading books and watching movies, and cultivate their gender equality awareness and gender tolerance mentality.

Finally, parents should understand that children's sexual development is a natural process, do not excessively interfere with and restrict children's sexual behavior and thoughts, and at the same time maintain communication and trust with children to provide them with a healthy, safe and free sexual development environment.
