To Get More Understanding, Parents Need To Take This Approach When Explaining Pubertas To Children

JAKARTA - As parents, discussingipation with children is very important. In addition to aiming for children to understand their bodies, it would be better if knowledge of children from parents than friends, social media, the internet, or the surrounding environment.

Emily Ruedinger, MD, MED, a pediatrician and adolescent health expert at UW Health Kids, Madison-Wisconsin says that children naturally have curious traits. And if that information is not obtained from their parents, then they will look for it from other sources. The reason why parents need to explain why from here, children will use parents as a reliable source of information.

You can start introducing the basic discussions needed from a child or toddler.

"Use the right anatomic term to describe body parts," suggested Dr. Ruedinger, quoted by Very Well Family, Friday, July 21.

It is often found that parents prefer to use the term 'funny' when giving children an explanation about body parts. In fact, using the term body which actually prevents children from being curious.

In addition to normalizing the body's anatomical name, when growing up, you introduce children about sexuality. As well as body changes with the emphasis that everyone develops from time to time and with their own speed. Not only that, continue to provide an open and friendly environment where this topic can be discussed.

As a general rule, you have to answer your child's questions honestly. At the same time, you don't need to elaborate further on the answer to your child's question.

"Sometimes as adults, we interpret the question to be bigger than children want," said Dr. Ruedinger.

For example, if they ask where a baby comes from, they usually don't ask about the sex mechanism. They may just need to know that they grow up in their parents' stomachs.

"As for children who are younger, you can explain that one day their bodies will change from a child's body to an adult body," said Dr. Ruedinger.

You can put it naturally when they see you wearing a destabilize or if they ask about shaving your leg hair.

"Use that situation as an opportunity to convey these ideas, so they know what physically and cognitively expects at home to them."

To avoid stress due to the theme of heavy discussions, make light and gradual discussions aboutnication. And make this theme a normal discussion. If you think this is taboo to discuss or delay the conversation until the child reaches middle age. Both you and your child will feel awkward and certainly avoid the theme ofnication as a subject of discussion.

Talking to children about malnutrition is an important part of parenting. The goal is to provide children with all the important information in an undisgraceful way that respects the monumental transition from childhood to adulthood.

If you have a question aboutipation or the best way to talk about the topic with your child, contact a pediatrician or healthcare provider for guidance and support.

In fact, encourage children to talk to doctors if they want more information than you can provide. The point is to create a safe and inclusive space for children to ask questions and view you as a trusted source of information.
