Children are Sexual Beings

Here are some scary but truthful words to think about as parents. Children are sexual beings. Even before young babies can talk, they begin exploring their bodies. This is perfectly normal behavior. Young children engage in "playing doctor" or "I'll show you mine, if you show me yours" games at a very young age. The most important thing to do when you think that your child is engaging in this type of play is to NOT FREAK OUT. Sit down with your child and have a talk about the differences between boys and girls. They are curious about these differences, so better that you guide their understanding then someone else.
