According to Professor Liu Wenli, National Key Laboratory, Department of Cognitive Neurology, Beijing Normal University (China), based on UNESCO's documents on sex education for adolescents, China also has documents guiding young children to handle situations encountered when reaching puberty such as changes in the body, girls having menstruation, boys having semen or how to clean their genitals.
Previously, children started puberty at 13-14 years old, and 17 years old was the peak stage of physical development. However, since the 1970s, children entering puberty earlier has become a new trend.
Guide children to have a positive attitude towards body development and interpersonal relationships early, and properly carry out sex education for the child's life happiness. It not only allows children to learn to respect each other, understand, accept, and tolerate each other, but also to a certain extent can avoid or reduce discrimination and wrongdoings in precocious puberty children.
