“How do sperm get into the egg?” – Hanoi fathers are full of souls, but calmly take a very good teaching paper
Mr. La Thanh N. (34 years old, Hanoi) has a 6-year-old son who is currently studying in grade 1 at a public elementary school near his home. Mr. N. is a real estate salesman. His work is very busy, often going to construction projects in the provinces, so the upbringing of the children is taken care of by his wife. Mr. N. only has a little time on weekends to take his children out and talk to them.
Recently, Mr. N. said he was shocked by his son’s sensitive question. While father and son were watching TV, the boy whispered: “Dad! How can sperm get into the egg?”. Listening to my son speak, Mr. N. blushed shyly, struggling not knowing how to explain to match his child’s thinking.
Mr. N. narrated the story: “She’s young, so I don’t think she’s curious and interested in sexual matters. So when I heard her innocent question, I was a bit shocked. It’s not difficult to explain knowledge, but it must be explained like that. How to make a 6-year-old child understand is a difficult problem. Suddenly, I thought of a way to draw illustrations to educate and help children to visualize.”
“The father and son took out paper and crayons and sat down to simulate the meeting of the sperm brother and the egg sister. To meet the egg sister, the sperm brothers had to organize a tough and challenging race. Only Some sperm can find the egg, the rest are stuck, lost or dead on the way.The remaining sperm will continue to do the task of penetrating the outer shell to have meeting the egg sister. This is an extremely arduous and harsh process.” Mr. N. said.
Not stopping there, the boy twisted and asked: “So how did mom and dad get the sperm to meet the egg?” To this question, Mr. N. had a very good answer: “Nature has given men and women a body part that can be put together, like a child’s jigsaw puzzle. Sperm will go out of the father and swim into the mother, then a baby will be formed and develop in the womb”.
WHAT DO PARENTS NEED SEX EDUCATION FOR 5-8 YEARS old?
Through his son’s story, Mr. N. gives advice to everyone who needs early sex education for their children. Educate from a young age and continue this activity until your child is an adult. However, parents should help children approach the topic in the most natural way without making them feel abrupt, embarrassed or confused.
“When talking to your child about sex and sexuality, the most important thing is to explain things in a way they can understand, appropriate for their age and developmental level.”Mr. N. emphasized.
For children aged 5-8, Mr. N. advises parents to educate their children on the following:
– This is the age when it is necessary to establish rules about using the Internet, including not talking to strangers, not sharing photos in inappropriate clothing with others. And if your child encounters some sensitive images on the computer or phone, they need to turn it off immediately and notify the parents.
– This is the age when you should talk more specifically with your child about sexual abuse. Children need to know this to protect themselves or those around them if such a situation occurs.
– Teach children about the physiological parts of the body and explain to them how sex works, including sperm leaving a man’s penis to enter a woman’s vagina. However, this depends on your child’s age and willingness to receive information.
Teach children that sex is a natural, normal, and healthy part of life. However, this is an activity for adults, not for children because children’s bodies and minds have not yet developed enough. Sex can lead to pregnancy if birth control is not used.
– Teach children that sex needs to come from love and associated with marriage and family responsibilities.
– Depending on the development of the child to be able to talk about puberty, including changes in the body. For this topic, parents should buy books and read with their children because parents may not remember and know all the knowledge.
Some children don’t ask questions, so it’s up to the parents to start the conversation. Look for opportunities to educate your child about sex. For example, seeing a pregnant woman, a couple kissing on TV, sanitary pads in the bathroom, etc.
