Help Kids Understand Bisexuality

Children are bound to receive sex education, including but not limited to marriage between men and women, the establishment of families, children. Now the basic social consensus is that the existence of homosexuality is reasonable and a considerable part of the area is legitimate, it is not supposed to teach children such a variety of sexual orientation (bisexual, homosexual, heterosexual) exist? Or if the children from the earliest ethical education to join the LGBT content, what will the impact on society?

As a LGBT, if you have a child, you should explain to the child why he or she has two moms or two dads.

But if it is an ordinary family, do not recommend as complete the "sex education" to impart knowledge to teach children. If there are LGBT friends in life (not a small group), the child is very puzzled when you can explain, but not as taboo topic very seriously to explain. To let the children realize that the world is very big, there are many and their different people, maybe they will become other people in the eyes of different people, that time he / she how to perceive the world, how to accept themselves and others, Is more important. Bisexuality and homosexuality are only a small part of it.

Parents over there, I grew up as a "normal" child possessor, parents mentioned this topic when the reaction is also very typical: that sick, and even more hurt the language. Before I realized my "different", I also think that this statement is not appropriated, it is also a more "general" proposal, parents inclusive attitude, will let the children have a bigger heart.

UNESCO's International Technical Guidelines for Educational Technology sets the minimum benchmark for what kind of learning goals children and adolescents should achieve at any age. The development of this set of benchmarks is based on curriculum standards, a series of databases and research results in several countries.

In the key concept of "relationship", the Platform suggests that children aged 5-8 should recognize that there are a variety of families in the world (eg, two-parent families, single-parent families, child-headed households, Guardian-headed households, extended families, nuclear families and non-traditional families). Non-traditional families including dink families, adoptive families, gay and lesbian families, bisexual family, etc.

At age 9-12, children should be aware that harassment or bullying of others because of their health, color, origin, sexual orientation, or other disparities is unjustifiable, harmful, and a violation of human rights. By the age of 12-15, children should know that there are usually ways to help people who are stigmatized and discriminated against, such as homosexuality and heterosexuality.

Such a minimum benchmark may appear to be very "advanced" in most Chinese parents, but these requirements are largely based on the cognitive development of children.

Correctly teach children the existence of a variety of sexual orientation, life for parents of gay or other different types of love attitude will affect the child's attitude. Tell the child a variety of sexual orientation exists not only let him to the LGBT this group to maintain a tolerant attitude, let him to the whole world to maintain an open inclusive attitude. Homosexuality, heterosexual groups exist also to the pursuit of loved ones, love themselves, love others, love the world.
