Let sex and sexuality be part of everyday conversation. Covering up our feelings or avoiding the issue by waiting for them to reach a certain age or to ask questions makes matters worse. Start the conversation, keep it going, and be open from the beginning. Information about sexuality is as important as food, shelter, and loving care. Boys worry about their penis size.
Girls worry about their breast size.
We must reassure our children that no two people are the same. Kids are fascinated with the way their bodies change. It's common for them to look at and touch each other's sex organs. This is one of the ways they learn that they are normal. They do this with friends of both genders.
