Parents' evening in Bremen: Understand childish sexuality!

Meinert-Löffler-Straße 6a, 28757 Bremen, Deutschland - In Bremen-Nord, the dialogue is encouraged on an often tabooed topic: childish sexuality. On June 12th, an information evening for parents will take place in the Pro Familia advice center, which aims to clear up uncertainties about the sexual development of children. Maren Kick, member of the management team, emphasizes the importance of sensory experiences in order to strengthen the self -confidence and independence of the children. At an age in which children discover their bodies curiously, it is crucial to enable them to deal with it, such as the [Weser-Kurier] (https://www.weser-kurier.de/bremen/stadt- Vegesack/vegesack-Pro-familia-informiert-eltern-ueber-Kindliche-Sexualitaet-Doc80uyvmzogbn1j84ZK9ax) reported.

From the age of second, children begin to develop an awareness of "yes" and "no". In this sensitive phase, parents often reach their limits, especially when the little ones touch themselves or play games like "doctor". This is where the Pro-Familia comes in and gives orientation. The information evening will take place on June 12th at 7 p.m. in Meinert-Löffler-Straße 6a. Registration is necessary until June 11th and costs ten euros.

a taboo subject with many facets

Childlike sexuality is still a border issue for many adults. It is a natural part of child development. Children ask questions about sexuality at an early stage, which should be answered openly and age-appropriate, as the Kindergarten Academy emphasizes. In order to adequately accompany the development of child sexuality, parents and educators have to promote healthy body awareness and question stereotypical role images.

"The discovery of one's own body already begins at birth and increases with childhood," said the experts. It is important that children are taken seriously in their curiosity and are not confronted with prohibitions or shame. These misunderstandings between the perspectives of adults and children must be dismantled to ensure empathic and respectful accompaniment.

The support offers is a guide for parents who deals with the child's development of 1 to 6 years. There is valuable information here to support body experiences and social experiences. For educators, it is essential to strengthen their own skills in dealing with the questions of children and to recognize adequate preventive measures. In particular, the Weser-Kurier emphasizes that responsibility interactions are important in their independence promote.

The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport in the State of Brandenburg has also developed a media package as part of educational materials that aims at sexual education for preschool children. These initiatives are part of a greater approach that puts protection against sexual abuse and promoting a positive relationship to one's own sexuality. As a society, we should encourage children to trust their feelings and set healthy limits so that they can grow into self -confident individuals.

The information evening on June 12th offers the opportunity to train in this important topic and to clarify uncertain questions. It is high time that as an adult we raise the conversation about childish sexuality on a respectful level and give the smallest space for their joy of discovery.
