We live in an age where sexual violence and child abuse - not a horror story from the newspapers, and the very real threat that we have to think more and more often. Therefore, parents (as well as teachers and other adults), it is important to understand what is "normal" in the sexual development and behavior of children and adolescents, and that could be a sign of perfect over the child sexual abuse, or evidence that he takes the sexual aggression toward other children.

In fact, sexual behavior and sexual natural game for children of all ages, both for kids who are just learning to walk, and for teenagers. In infants and toddlers sexual behavior manifests itself in the attention to the sensations of the body needs to embrace and touch, as well as games with toys.

Age threshold of sexual development

Already at a very early age, children are touched and rubbed his genitals, and even the boys have an erection Erection - what hinders and what helps a man to be a man . The first class (five to seven years) children are interested in body parts and their functions. At this age begin sexual games, the child forms an idea of ​​the love and affection that gradually transforms into sexual behavior. Children also have questions on topics related to sex ("where babies come from?"). Interest in the topic is exacerbated in 8-9 years.

Children dopubertatnogo age (10-12 years) are more focused on social relations, they begin to feel conscious sexual feelings and impulses. Children touch their genitals, caress and stimulate them through childhood, but during this period masturbation becomes conscious character.

During puberty, your child has a rapid physical development, there are secondary sexual characteristics. The girls begin to menstruate and boys are more likely to masturbate. The older and older the child becomes, the more he is interested in romance, intimacy, sex. This interest is fueled by physical sensations, emotions Emotions and culture: how to decipher the emotional code   and the expectations of society. At this time, teens tied first romantic relationship, begin to "meet" with the pleasant boy or a girl. Gradually, emotional intimacy becomes more intense, and often leads to sexual relations Sexual relations: how to bring passion   (dreams of "subject", holding hand, innocent kisses, passionate kisses, caresses (petting), sex with penetration).

But it is important to distinguish between normal sexual behavior, age-appropriate child and abnormal sexual behavior. Many children from infancy peculiar sexual behavior and an increased interest in sex, though they have not yet reached puberty. However, a normal (or expected) sexual behavior should not be outspoken and provocative. Normally, the child's interest in sex is a game or exploratory nature. The child is not fixated on sexual activity, do not show aggression towards others; his behavior does not cause harm to himself or other children.

Norm and deviation

Like the rest of the development, the sexual behavior of children change over time, and many manifestations of sexuality are normal for children the same age, are considered to be a deviation for older or younger children. On the other hand, some sexual symptoms should cause parents concern, regardless of the age of the child. They should not be ignored or regarded as child's play or a temporary phenomenon.

Other manifestations of sexual behavior are more serious and worthy of attention of adults, because they can be dangerous for the child and for others. But sometimes hard to understand, when sexual behavior is natural and normal, and when it indicates a problem or an abuse of sexual development.

Thus, the sexual development of children should be of concern in the event that suppresses the development of other areas (for example, instead of playing a child masturbating), and if sex game forced on a child (or a child). This is the boundary beyond which sex game turns into sexual abuse, and the child is formed aggressive sexual behavior.

Early sexual development of children

Children dopubertatnogo age, who witnessed the sexual acts or had sexual contact, often show no age-appropriate sexual behavior. Such children can participate in a variety of sexual activities, peculiar to the adult, or use sex to show their independence.

For deviations of sexual behavior may include overreliance sexual games, suggestive comments or gestures with sexual connotations, relationships with other children, as well as harassment and exploitation of other children.
