How to talk with children about sex. Lidia Parkhitko

Frank answers to questions that adults are shy to voice.

Any child, growing up, is faced with hundreds of questions about the world around - and parents readily come to the rescue, helping him to understand them. But questions about bodily, physiology or sex, so important for the healthy development of our children, for some reason often put us into a dead end, cause awkwardness and shame-and we avoid frank conversations, forgetting that the child begins to know the world, build relationships from the body With himself and others.

The book of a psychologist Lydia Parkhitko helps to understand that sexual education is not scary, not embarrassing and not immoral.

how to read the book:

The book is useful to read the whole, but you can use it as a reference when you Looking for answers to certain questions.

from the author:

One of the areas of my practice is long work with adults in psychotherapy. And even after many months, when confidential contact was established, when we discussed all the secret and complex moments of life, the sexual sphere remains taboo. Unfortunately, we do not know how to talk about our body and our feelings: about the fear and shame, which terribly entangle this topic.

many of my customers are ordinary normal people, like all of us! - They are embarrassed by their body, afraid to go to the toilet, touch themselves, talk about their sexual desires with partners. It seems to many of us that pain, fear, patience and stiffness is something natural and necessarily close to the bodily (and sexual) sphere of our lives.

almost every person (especially in women) There is a negative bodily experience: someone did not touch someone there, somewhere it hurt, something was scary. And about all this I had to and have to be silent. Left without help and without support.

I really want to change this.

I hope that together with you we will be able to instill our children with a different idea of ​​our own bodily processes and human relationships. << /p>

We will learn how to sensitively understand our children and talk with them on the most difficult topics. We will explain to them the secrets that we know for ourselves, and we will help to see beauty in this. We will be able to convey to them the value of human relations, healthy boundaries and respect for each other.
