Your child and you started to ask questions about sexuality, pregnancy, birth or differences between boys and girls? If not, sooner or later your little one will ask for an explanation of these issues, with questions that you may seem too early or at inopportune moments, but for the child is completely natural.

Several studies indicate that children who talk to their parents about sex are more comfortable with your body, more respect for others and less involved in risky sexual behavior.

A process
Experts advise you not to wrong, consider the age of your child, because in one day not able to educate sexually, but rather an ongoing process of information that should begin as soon as possible, in an understandable way and appropriate to their age.

It’s also important that you and your partner will talk about sex to their children so they learn that it is a taboo subject and can treat both. And if the father of your children and you are separated or divorced, that does not have to be any difficulty, they may agree not to give mixed messages.

Be moderate
Experts recommend you be tempered with respect to sexual details and avoid giving your child too realistic information or pictures if you do not ask, because you might be confused. But you have to limit yourself to talk about the anatomical and biological aspects of sexuality but also can explain that sexual relationships involve love, tenderness, respect, and responsibility. If you are approaching adolescence, it is essential to talk to your child about contraception, the consequences of having a misuse of sex and the deep contentment that gives love and sexual intimacy with another person.

Learn how not to affect their self-esteem
Usually we ask parents to the children how to behave and what to say once they have disobeyed our instructions. We must never lose sight that we are seeking to educate the best and that disobedient child is a person with all its implications.

Following the teaching of Dr. Francoise Dolto in this article, take note that this is important both preventive attitude in relation to obedience as the reaction of the parents once they’ve had a disobedience. We must never forget that, in fact, call them failed, the child must leave enriched and with more confidence in himself and his parents.

TO AN ACCIDENT
So at the time of the accident or incident must be kind to the child. That’s not the point of blame. All that the adult says it has great value for the child. For Dolto expressions are good for nothing!, You are a fool!, Paralyzing him influence their activities and can result in a fearful adult.

For this reason, after an accident are not recommended reprimands as you deserve for disobedience! Usually the child disobeys to overcome an obstacle and by imitating adults.

Once you are calm the child and parents should talk to the reasons and circumstances of the failure by explaining how you do in these cases and mentioning that his age also could have done better.

You can still comment that small, I was the same. This will facilitate the child to regain confidence in itself.

We all know that we are or we become more clumsy when we doubt ourselves, when we are not sure. This is seen clearly in sports competitions. So warnings as you will fall, hurt yourself, etc.. not the best way to motivate and it must be sought is to foster self-confidence.
