5-year-old boy, since he was 4 and could use a smartphone, he has been searching for videos online. What should I do?

Hello!

I know you're scared and worried, but try to stop seeing "spanking" as something bad. Don't get too upset in front of your child, as this will only make him more curious.

Your child is only 5, and may understand spanking differently than you do. He may have just seen it happen and is curious. At 4 or 5, he is curious about the world and exploring it, which is why he acts the way he does.

In this situation, the questioner can guide the child in a positive way. Don't negate the child's behavior, as this may affect his desire to explore. The questioner can calm down and ask the child why he is interested in this behavior. Then, give the child some sex education. You can look at books, film, and TV shows. There are also sex education materials for all ages. This way, the child knows that some of his behavior may be inappropriate. However, he can be curious and explore things. Before exploring sensitive things next time, tell the child what is sensitive about some things he may come into contact with.

We don't have to avoid talking about sex. Good sex education is good for kids. Next time, don't scold your child. Stay calm, then guide your child as I said.

Best wishes! I hope my answer helps. I wish you the best.

Hello!

Five-year-olds are curious and like to ask questions. They can think abstractly and engage in logical thinking. They are mobile and want to perform and express themselves. They are good at acting and imitating.

They know about sex and can tell the difference between men and women. They have their own interests, like dancing and singing.

It's normal to feel confused and worried when your child acts this way. It seems wrong, and you're also afraid of how it will affect their future. But these are just adult thoughts. Your child can speak and think like an adult, but they haven't yet learned social morals.

At this time, children like to play games with rules. They like to win. In his eyes, he is just playing a game. Perhaps the family sometimes says "if you don't listen, I'll spank you" when educating the child.

The child learns through play.

It's good for parents to express their attitudes, but not too much. If your child is acting up, talk to them calmly and explain why it's wrong. This will help them learn to reason and make good choices.

Parents should talk to their children more. When children are young, they rely on their parents. This is the best time to build a good family relationship. As children grow up, they will spend less time with their parents.

So, enjoy time with your kids. They need their family.

If you don't understand your child, you can't help them.

Erikson's theory of life-stage development divides children aged 4 to 7 into the "early school years." During this period, children face conflicts between exploring and feeling guilty.

Children at this age are curious and want to explore. They don't yet know right from wrong, so they can make mistakes.

If children are encouraged to explore during this period, they will become responsible and creative adults. If adults ridicule children, children will lose confidence and be less likely to create their own happy lives.

When children are more driven than guilty, they develop a sense of purpose. Erikson defines purpose as "the courage to face and pursue worthwhile goals."

The way parents raise their children is very important. Parents can influence their children's behavior.

Children at this stage can learn and imitate, but not judge right from wrong.

They often imitate their parents. The Internet is full of things they don't understand.

Children who explore the online world without guidance may have problems. They may share things they have suffered.

Parents are supposed to be close to their kids, but when they make mistakes, they cry and are afraid. This makes kids avoid them and not talk to them.

If anything happens, they'll just have to rely on themselves. They know that telling their parents won't help and they'll just get punished.

Children at this age need more guidance from their parents.

If you don't tell him why, he'll only know how to accept punishment when something goes wrong.

Playing, talking, and interacting with your child is important for their development.

If you use the phone instead, the child will rely on it instead of you.

Guidance is better than scolding.

You'll just make things worse and won't be able to stop it.
