Children with sexual behaviour problems : curriculum for parents and educators

Abstract

The issue of child sexual abuse and the disturbing trend of sexual offending of children by children is causing alarm among many parents and educators. The study of children with sexual behaviour problems is a new and developing field. Information on normative sexual behaviour in children, definitions and classifications of inappropriate sexual behaviours, assessment, and treatment of children with sexual behaviour problems, is now emerging in the research literature. This curriculum is designed for parents and educators who are seeking current information and helpful perspectives regarding children with sexual behaviour problems.
