Guide to working on sexuality in Early Childhood and Primary Education

  • The LAB union has launched a guide with the keys to working the body, diversity, emotions, relationships, pleasure… in Early Childhood and Primary Education, because sexuality is born and it is essential to start sexual education as soon as possible.

10 March 2020 - 16:57

It is a guide to sexual education that aims “to make children and young people know, accept (even accept others) and to live and express themselves freely”. The guide is based on diversity, as “we will not be able to positively feed the identity or sexuality of all if we work with concrete models”. In short, all sexualities are different and within that diversity we cannot forget people with disabilities or functional diversity, among others.

Knowing one's own minds and emotions, learning how people and bodies work, knowing how emotions and bodies of the same sex and the other sex work, talking about pleasure and erotic, managing emotions, working contact and communication. The proposed roadmap for healthy sex education has many keys.

In Early Childhood Education you can do more than you think

From birth we have the ability to feel pleasure and the need to relate it affectively. The guide clearly states: “In Early Childhood Education you can do more than you think to achieve healthy sexuality, because to work adherence is to do sexual education.” Sexual identity, orientation of desire and the differentiation of roles of each gender are important at this stage.

In Primary Education, between pornography and reality

In Primary we also often find that there is no need to work on sex education, but studies indicate that between 9 and 12 years old boys and girls start to see content with erotic and pornographic content. “The concept of erotic that our students are going to have is going to have a lot of influence on the work we do on the subject or on the lack of work,” the guide says.

In the end, the guide presents a didactic material to work with the students on the subject.

The union aims to continue to develop guides and materials for all mandatory training cycles, within the project “Hilando sexualities liberadoras”.
