How to talk to children about sex and puberty

- Imagine our grandmother told mybrother, that he has in his pants little sparrows. And when he found out that this was such a bird and on the street a flock of sparrows was shown to him, one had to see his bewilderment! He was right on the street trying to peek into his pants to compare, ”my colleague Xenia, the mother of a two-year-old boy, told me. Yes, parents show uncommon ingenuity in coming up with some sort of parable for children's genitals. Calling a penis a penis, and a vagina for some reason, is awfully awkward. So it turns out as in a joke: the priest is, but there is no word.Photo:GettyImagesThere is such an organization in the UK – the Sexual Health Service. And its experts advise parents to save their embarrassment for another occasion. - Nicknames for genitals are invented out of awkwardness. We, adults, associate genitals with sex. And that is why we are ashamed to even mention their names. But children do not have such associations. They do not feel awkward, and there is no need to instill this feeling of shame in them, - psychologists say. But if you think about it, many people are ashamed of their bodies. And the very fact that people have sex also makes many feel awkward. But they do! - For children, the penis or vagina are the same body parts as any other. After all, you are not embarrassed to call your hand an arm or your leg a leg. Eye, ear – these words do not cause any shame. And nothing else should be, - experts explain. To help parents cope with awkwardness, a special website was even created in England, which explains how to talk to children about their anatomical features. And, what is also important, how to prepare a child for the fact that his body will change, how to talk about sex, relationships and growing up. In general, about what they try to tell children in sex education classes and what causes indignation in some parents. - Such a site in Russian is urgently needed, - Ksyusha said thoughtfully. - Otherwise, to be honest, I am also embarrassed.
