Sexual Development
Parents often associate sexual development with the teen years. But kids develop an emotional and physical foundation for sexuality in many subtle ways from infancy.
Physical and emotional changes become more dramatic and complex as puberty starts and during the teen years. And your kids are likely to have many questions.
By knowing the facts, answering questions, and offering guidance, you can be a trusted source of information, comfort, and support for your kids.
