The Importance of Ongoing Conversations About Sexuality
Approaching the topic of sexuality with children should be seen as an ongoing dialogue rather than a one-time discussion. Engaging in many short conversations throughout a child's development provides a comfortable foundation for open communication. For example, parents can use everyday moments to discuss anatomy and healthy sexual development in age-appropriate ways, ensuring kids feel safe to ask questions. This gradual approach helps children understand and appreciate their bodies and sexuality without shame.
