The question was raised by one of the parents: laid out in a social network an outraged post about the fact that the school conducts lessons for the sexual education of children, starting from the second grade. For illustrations use textbooks with very frank pictures and a very detailed description of what mom and dad do in bed. According to the authors, the “instruction” is designed for middle classes, and these are 12–14 years old. Does nine-year-old schoolchildren need information about IT, Woman’s Day asked a specialist.

“The book can provoke psychological trauma”

Elena Perkova, psychologist:“Sex education is an important aspect of child socialization. But it must be remembered that the formation of child sexuality is a delicate and delicate process. Untimely and incorrectly submitted information can cause serious psychological trauma. First of all, I believe that such studies are not the competence of the teacher, whose main task is learning, but a psychologist who is guided by the amount of information about the sexual sphere that must be given according to age. The psychologist will be able to track the reaction of the children's audience and work with it correctly. And in the case of alarms from the child will be able to work them out with their parents. The illustrations and texts presented in such textbooks are extremely unnecessary, and can only give rise to unhealthy processes in a second-class children's team. In other words, the lessons of sex education should be conducted by a psychologist with the parents of eight-year-old children. It is they who should receive a competent consultation and, as they grow into the child’s psyche, correctly build information. ”And what do you think, who should tell children about sex?
