Is this Normal?

Overview

Children’s sexual behaviours can be embarrassing and confusing and sometimes cause concern. Knowing what’s considered normal can ease some of the worry of parenting. Knowing more about sexual behaviours is part of helping protect children from harm.

Is this normal? Understanding your child’s sexual behaviour provides parents and carers with:

a simple way to identify, understand and respond to children’s sexual behaviours

everyday situations to put this information in context

tools to support communication with children about sexuality and relationships

ways to respond when a child’s behaviour is not appropriate for their age

next steps if you need support
