What is it.
This panel focused on problematic sexual behaviour in children. Problematic sexual behaviour occurs when children aged 12 and younger engage in sexual actions that are not typical for their age and are developmentally inappropriate. These actions can potentially harm themselves or others.
This panel looked at when sexual behaviour between children becomes a concern, considering factors such as how often it happens, the age difference between the children involved, among other factors.
How can it help me?
This panel explored trends in problematic sexual behaviour and provided valuable insights for CYAC professionals, specifically for a therapeutic response. While sexual behaviours can happen between children, they are usually exploratory and short-lived. These behaviours can range from normal to problematic or harmful.
