5 kleine Gespräche über eine gesunde sexuelle Entwicklung, die du mit deinem 2- bis 5-Jährigen führen kannst
Now is the time to start talking to your child about healthy sexual development. No matter the age of your child you can start laying the groundwork for them to have a healthy view of sex and sexuality.
Even your young child (2- to 5-years-old) is not too young! Below are five things that you should be teaching them and some ideas on how to talk about the subject:
ES GIBT DINGE, DIE PRIVAT SIND
Now is the time to start teaching them that nudity and touching their genitals is not to be done in public. This is something to bring up when they’re bathing or changing, explaining to them that some things should happen in the bathroom only (like washing their private parts) or in privacy (like changing their clothes).
LEHRE DEINEM KIND DIE RICHTIGEN NAMEN FÜR SEINE KÖRPERTEILE
At this point a lot of kids may have picked up euphemisms and slang terms for their private parts. Continue teaching them appropriate names and discourage the use of slang terms. This will help them communicate more effectively with you if something is wrong or someone has touched them inappropriately. It’s good to correct them in the moment they use euphemisms or slang terms and explain to them the word you’d like them to use instead.
SICHERE VS. UNANGENEHME BERÜHRUNG
Teach them the concept of safe touch and uncomfortable touch. Uncomfortable touch is anything that makes them feel sad, upset, or uncomfortable. Explain that sometimes even people they love may make them feel uncomfortable, most likely by accident, but they should always let you know when someone has touched them in an uncomfortable way.
NIEMAND SONST HAT DAS RECHT AUF DEN KÖRPER DEINES KINDES
Explain that their body is theirs and no one else has the right to look at it or touch it without their consent. Tell them that even trusted grown-ups like doctors shouldn’t look at their body parts without a parent or caregiver present.
NEIN BEDEUTET NEIN
As you explain that no one else has rights to their body it’s a good time to explain that they don’t have rights to anyone else’s body either. If your child is affectionate you can explain to them that not everyone wants hugs or kisses.
Es ist nie zu früh, deinem Kind etwas über eine gesunde Sexualität beizubringen. Während dein kleines Kind wächst und sich entwickelt, wird es sicherlich Fragen haben. Indem du früh mit dem Dialog beginnst und es dazu ermutigst, mit dir darüber zu sprechen, wird dein Kind beginnen, ein gutes Gefühl für gesunde Sexualität zu bekommen und was das für es bedeutet.
