Relationships and Sex Education for Girls: Parental Involvement in a Transitional Chinese Family

Peiyu Zhang

Abstract


This assignment explores my identity as a female born in a traditional Chinese family and my exploration of male-female relationship and sex education in the process of growing up with the narration of self-ethnography. Combining existing cutting-edge research and personal experiences on relationship and sex education, this paper deconstructs the cultural context, while providing a personal perspective on women's RSE and possible solutions. This paper briefly outlines relationship and sex education and parental involvement as the scaffolding for the analysis findings. At the same time, this assignment recognises the current views of female RSE, parental involvement and Intra cultural shock. The aim is to share the conflict between new and traditional family education ideas and its complex impact on the education of children and women through this categorisation method. In addition, the following are the potential implications of the analysis: Critically analyse the integration and impact of the world and local culture; Treat same-sex and heterosexual communication positively; To help relieve the psychological pressure brought by female physical development; And how educators help promote scientific and universal parental involvement in children’s RSE.
