When is the right time to discuss with children about their bodies and particularly the genitals? What is the best way to do that? How can we teach societal rules regarding human contact, especially when contact involves the private body parts? Are there good secrets and bad secrets? How can we help children share their emotions and fears? Now teachers, when teaching about health, relationships, and sexuality have a friendly assistant, Frixos. Frixos is a hedgehog. He lives in the forest. Accidentally he found out about children and he seems to like them very much. He wants to play with them.Frixos is the main character of a comprehensive sexuality education program for pre-school and early primary school pupils. The educational materials consist of five modules that address concepts like the body and the genitals; public and private body parts; meaning and difference of "personal" and "public" space, as well as the "concept" of "online space"; interpersonal relationships and the family; social skills and feelings; prevention of inappropriate contact, sexual harassment, and abuse. The materials are designed based on active and experiential learning principles and techniques. This work received the award for Excellence & Innovation in Sexuality Education 2019, by the World Association for Sexual Health.
