Abstract
A description of natural and healthy sexual behaviors in preschool and latency-aged children is differentiated from three clusters of behaviors of young children that indicate varying levels of sexual behavior problems. The characteristics of the children who engage in sexually reactive behaviors, extensive mutual sexual behaviors, and sexually aggressive behaviors are described. Charts are provided as guidelines to assist in identifying sexual behaviors in the “normal range” from those that are “of concern” and those for which “professional help” is immediately necessary. Suggestions for the evaluation of children with sexual behavior problems are made. To aid in the evaluation, a range of sexual environments in homes is provided.
