Purpose of these questions:

• Think about how some of children’s behaviors are part of healthy sexual development.

• Reducing the stigma about, and reactivity to, these behaviors in children.

Questions:

1. What are play behaviors you, your siblings, or your friends / peers engaged in as children that you now realize was sexual exploration or curiosity and was part of ‘normal’/healthy sexual development? (i.e. practicing kissing on dolls, playing “doctor”, sneaking to see nude images, trying to see naked adults, etc.)

2. How did adults respond to those behaviors? How did you feel about the behaviors at the time? Do you feel differently now?

3. What messages did you get as a child about sexuality and relationships?
