I feel that pregnant Barbie dolls are not suitable for children. Why are there such children's toys?

I believe most parents know about Barbie dolls, especially those with girls who often buy them for their children. However, a parent recently reported a Barbie doll manufacturer, and the reason was actually Because this Barbie doll is too "high-end". It turns out that this mother heard from her daughter one day that "giving birth to a child means that the child comes out of the mother's belly?" Such words, and the mother obviously has not taught her children such words. After questioning the child, it turned out that the child's understanding of how a child was born actually came from a Barbie doll.

The appearance of this Barbie doll is the image of a pregnant woman with a protruding belly. After removing the belly module, a simulated little doll can be taken out. After taking out the doll, you can also take out a small simulated doll. The belly component flipped over and then buckled back into the flat belly of an ordinary Barbie doll. When the mother bought the toy for her child, she didn't notice that Barbie was pregnant because the doll was wearing a fluffy princess dress. The mother felt that such toys were too advanced and not suitable for children to play with, so she reported and complained to the manufacturer. Most netizens believe that this parent hinders their children's normal sex education learning. Some netizens even said that such parents hinder the growth of their children the most.

Is it wrong for Barbie to have children?

First of all, we need to know that this is just a simple Barbie doll. There is no depiction of sensitive organs. It is just telling the child that the doll was born from the mother's belly. This simple fact is not worth it. Parents go out to report toy manufacturers with great fanfare, but in fact, the vast majority of parents in our country are like this mother and are in a state of neglecting sex education.

Although the current education sector has clearly supported sex education for children, for parents whose children are currently in school, avoiding sex education is the choice of many of them. This is actually the result of their persistence in the traditional stigmatizing attitude towards sex. With the disapproval and uncooperative attitude of these parents, it is naturally extremely difficult to educate children about sex, and children do lack understanding of sex. Enough understanding.

Three typical misconceptions about sex education

The typical misconceptions about sex education among parents in my country are mainly reflected in three aspects: avoidance, postponement and obscurity:

The so-called escape means that many parents avoid sex education for their children, thinking that sex is a disgraceful thing and cannot be discussed on the stage. Therefore, they completely resist sex education for their children. Once there are any questions about sex, these parents will often change the subject to avoid their children's questions.

Delay means that these parents believe that sex education is something that children should understand before they need to engage in sexual activity. They often postpone this education until the child's adolescence or even close to adulthood. Sexual issues are often dealt with in a "you'll figure it out when you grow up" way.

The last kind of ambiguity means that although many parents are clearly aware that their children need sex education, they are unclear about the meaning of sex education for their children due to their own shame about sex. , vague concepts, and often use some small animal anthropomorphic methods to provide so-called sex education to children. Although it is an improvement compared to the first two categories, it makes children have a vague understanding of sex.

How to provide correct sex education to children

1. Face it squarely and not escape

If you want to provide correct sex education to children, the first thing to do is Face it and don't escape. The so-called face-up means that parents themselves must have a correct understanding of the concept of sex. They should not think that sex is dirty, but should realize that sex is a natural instinct of human beings and is inevitable in the process of growth. A step that must be experienced;

Not escaping means that parents must realize that it is impossible for children to understand sexual knowledge naturally. The learning of any knowledge must be through education from the outside world. If parents If children's sex education is not done well, and at the same time they refuse schools to provide sex education to children, then children are likely to take many detours on their own exploration of sex, and even cause harm to themselves.

2. Sex education should start from an early age

Similarly, many parents feel that talking about sex to young children is a bit too advanced, but in fact sex is not just about sexual behavior; Representing the different genders of men and women, various sexual psychology has actually appeared since the child was still young. If the child lacks understanding of sex, he is likely to suffer a lot of troubles as he grows up. Many girls experience menstruation during menarche. The psychological problems that may arise during sex, as well as the panic that many boys have about themselves, are the consequences of this delay in sex education.
