A Chinese father’s sex education letter for his son
In 2019, a Chinese social network appeared on a story about raising children that went viral and got a lot of praise from the public. To this day, this story remains an example for many parents to share and learn from, as the standard way of educating their teens about sex.
Tham, a middle-aged father, has been in the situation many other parents face: they catch their children in puberty making misleading and false sexual health discoveries.
Tham said he has a 14-year-old son named Tieu Triet. The boy had always been a good student, had a cheerful disposition, and talked to his parents about everything. One sleepless night, she went to her son’s room to see if he had covered his son with a warm blanket, but found that his son was lying on the blanket holding his phone but refusing to sleep.

At first, the father was very surprised and angry, and immediately wanted to question and scold the child. But instead, he went back to his room to think the whole night. On the following day, he decided to deal with the situation in the most direct and emotional way possible.
The father did not choose to ignore him, pretending to be ignorant. He also did not give a warning, scolded his child directly because it could electrocute the child, sometimes even causing a hostile mentality. Instead, Mr. Tham wrote a letter to his son. This loving and cute “parenting” letter was later greatly enjoyed and shared by Chinese netizens:
Dear Triet,
I’m writing to you for the first time today because I want to have a “man conversation” with you.
First, congratulations son, you are an adult and no longer a man. Although I always thought that you were still a child, but the fact that you have entered your teenage years and are curious about some unknown areas, I am both excited and worried.
The good news is that my son is an adult, it is normal for young children to be curious about men and women, otherwise it is not unusual to be curious!
What I’m worried about, will my child be able to go through this developmental period safely and healthily?
I’m sure you know what I want to tell you.
Don’t be shy, your father also experienced it as a teenager, so I can understand you very well. Everyone after entering puberty will be curious about gender knowledge because of rapid physical development, this is a normal psychological reaction. However, we shouldn’t go to porn sites for sexual knowledge.
Children’s cognitive and judgmental abilities are not fully developed, so people their age are easily fooled by false information that leads to insecure thoughts and psychology. You should know that sexual knowledge on porn sites is unscientific and can be misinterpreted. So when you have a question about sex, you can look into some reasonable channels. For example, ask dad because he be a man and someone you can trust. Or you can find answers from sex education books. On the Internet, there are also a number of educational and entertaining sex education films for children to study.
I also want to tell youSex is not dirty, it’s human nature and there’s no need to be too curious. Even if you watch raunchy videos, don’t think that you are spoiled and guilty.
I wish you to grow up safe and happy and I am always ready to help you when you need it.
The father’s behavior in the story is rated as “100 subtleties” (Illustration image)
Teaching sex education to children is never easy for parents of young children. Experts advise parents not to be violent, hostile, or angry when their teen has sexual curiosity. Such behavior only makes the child feel guilty and psychologically hurt. On the other hand, comfortable, reasonable, and smooth conversations are a wise parental choice.
