Teaching the children to tell the difference, it’s, very important, equip them well, so they know, how to protect their own bodies, and hearts too! Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
How do we teach children about love, how should the parents ask, listen, to what they’re children are, telling them? The assistant director of the Missing Children’s Database unit of Children’s Welfare League, Hsu offered her many practical advices:
Train your child on emotions and love from a very young age, best that you’d set up the right beliefs in the preschool, kindergarten, elementary ages. The parents can utilize the tools, for instance, the illustrated book, “The Secrets of Body for Young Boys”, and “The Secrets of the Body for Young Girls”, which both mentions the physical developments of the genitalia, to use the illustrated books, as a dictionary of the children’s body parts, and s/he would know which places shouldn’t get touched, and when s/he grows up, would be misinformed by the messages online, and it helps her/him from being tricked by the predators lurking online.
Other than the biology, also, to help them differentiate the feelings on the psychological too. The young children have difficulties differentiating between fear and liking, they believe that when their hearts race, they feel nervous, their faces blush, that’s a sign of liking someone, how can the child knows, that what’s experienced physiologically is different than what is going on psychologically? If a predator online tells them, that all of these are signals of liking, it would be easy for them to get tricked, and fell, into the trap, and, waited until they’re old enough, they’d come to realize, that that, wasn’t liking, that it was, sexual assault.
As children get into the older grades of elementary school, they will find certain individuals attractive, and we can take the advantage, to teach them what is being in love. When we see our idols, we blush too, but this, is not falling in love.
If the child likes someone in her/his vicinity, then, you need to let your child know, how long the liking will continue? Do you know her/his likes and dislikes? Can the two of you do things you enjoy together like hiking, reading, and playing the games?
And so, the education of love, just like the education of, EVERYTHING else, starts young, and by giving your young children these lessons not taught in school, you’d, helped them become aware, what love is, and what’s appropriate and what’s not, and, sometimes, when we’re aroused that does NOT mean that we’re, enjoying what’s being done to our bodies, it’s just the way our bodies responds, when they get, touched…
