Some important things to provide sexual education of children
How to deliver must be reasonable and simple, do not look doubtful / shame. Fill descriptions submitted must be objective, but do not explain a no-no, as if aiming to profess child will not ask again. Superficial / profound content of description must be tailored to the needs and stages of child development. Sexual education should be given in private, because the narrowness extensive knowledge quickly slow stages of development are not the same for every child. Ultimately note that try to implement sex education needs to be repeated (repetitive) but it is also necessary to know how much something new understanding can be absorbed by children, also need to remind and reinforce (reinforcement) (Singgih D. Gunarso, 2002). Avoid teaching style like in school. The talks should not be limited to the biological facts, but also about values, emotions and spirit. Do not worry you've answered too many to question the child. They would always ask about what they do not understand. Children pre-school age also need to know how to protect against fraud and sexual violence committed by an adult. This means that parents should tell the child that saying "no" to an adult is not something that is forbidden.
Do not wait until the child reaches the teenage years to talk about puberty. They should already know the changes that occurred in the past (Singgih D. Gunarso, 2002).
