Young children may show curiosity about other children's bodies or about sex, but this shouldn't be alarming. The important thing is:

  • Set respectful boundaries : teach them that there are parts of the body that are private and that everyone has the right to have their boundaries respected.
  • Guide their curiosity : answer their questions naturally and without causing embarrassment, but make it clear what is appropriate and what is not.
