Recently, a parent reported: "My daughter has just been promoted to fifth grade. Recently, she quietly told me that she has a 'boy she likes'. As a parent, how should I guide her?" Let's listen to the first batch of moral education teachers in Nanjing, Teacher Xia Guangqing from Jiangpu Experimental Primary School, and Teacher Zhang Min from Lianyuan Street Primary School in Wuxi. Parents don't need to be too sensitive and "like" is a normal phenomenon in their growth. Teacher Xia Guangqing from Jiangpu Experimental Primary School in Nanjing said that parents are prone to making mistakes when dealing with their children's early love issues: firstly, "hitting a couple with a stick", thinking that they can quickly handle their children's early love problems; The second is to "cover the coffin" and believe that children who fall in love early are "bad children"; The third is the use of brute force, which does not consider early love as a normal phenomenon in a child's growth process. These are all undesirable practices. I want to tell this mother, there is no need to worry or be too sensitive first. A daughter's love for boys precisely indicates that the child has the 'ability to love others', which means that she has grown up. The love between children is actually very simple and simple, they do not understand what love is, just out of curiosity towards the opposite sex or out of imitation psychology. A person without the ability to love may not be able to establish normal relationships with others for a lifetime Secret relationship. Therefore, parents should handle it rationally and intelligently Why do fifth grade children develop a preference for the opposite sex? Teacher Xia said that children first experience social development with their elders in the family, and then experience social development with their peers in school. Children gradually grow up and begin to have sexual awareness. For example, when a girl enters puberty, a significant characteristic is her willingness to make friends with other girls of the same sex, gradually transitioning to developing a favorable and intimate relationship with the opposite sex, which is a normal psychological development process. Some girls, influenced by their own concerns and family environment, pay attention to the opposite sex early on, and even have a hazy liking for the opposite sex. Expert advice: Stand on the same line with your child and guide them with wisdom. When a daughter says "I have a boy I like" to their parents, it may only be about expressing feelings, requiring adult understanding and empathy, or seeking help from their parents to solve psychological problems. How should parents guide their children? Teacher Zhang Min from Lianyuan Street Primary School in Wuxi suggests that first, stand on the same front as the children. Once a child has the opposite sex they like, another opportunity for education comes, which is also a test of educational wisdom for parents. Parents should calm down and patiently listen, allowing their children to explain their reasons for liking the opposite sex, what attracts them, and what distinguishes them from love, friendship, and family. Love is not just a wishful thinking, but a responsibility, so that children can realize that so-called early love is essentially a pure friendship, and liking and dislike someone are normal emotions, just like we like small animals and dolls, It's okay to like a classmate of the opposite sex who gets along day and night, but to keep this love and not disturb others is a kind of maturity. At this point, parents do not need to interpret too much, neither awaken the awareness of early love in advance, nor contain the development of emotions. Parents' acceptance of their children's love is at the beginning, and children are more willing to open up to their parents. If the parent-child relationship remains normal, education will not have major problems. Secondly, using
