Sex Ed video #2 Q&A: Masturbating children - is it normal?
Channel: Healthy sex ed
Date: 2015-10-28

A concerned and shocked mother asked me: is it normal for my preschool child to pleasure herself with a teddy bear? In this video I discuss the prevalence of sexual behaviour amongst children, such as masturbating, and how I would deal with it. If you have other suggestions, please do not hesitate to share your thoughts and make the subject of 'sexual behaviour amongst children' open for discussion. 

About the research "Normative sexual behaviour in children":
A brave research team consisting of William Friedrich, Jennifer Fisher, Daniel Broughton, Margaret Houston and Constance Shafran, have interviewed the (adoptive) mothers of 1114 children aged 2-12 years old. The interview consisted of a 38-item scale assessing a broad range of sexual behaviour (Child Sexual Behavior Inventory, Third Version).
