Conference Overview

 Sexual Development Birth through Puberty: “What is Normative? Sexualized Behavior Problems in Prepubescent Children-When is clinical intervention necessary?”

Understanding inappropriate sexual behavior presentations is impossible without having a clear understanding of normative sexual behavior. This workshop will review normative sexual development – birth through puberty. Developmental expectations for each phase of sexual development will be clearly outlined. This workshop will also address the confusing issues surrounding sexualized behavior presentation by the pre-school and school aged child. Discussion will include the influence of culture and media on “acceptable” behavior. Criteria will be outlined to assist in determining the necessity of clinical intervention. The role of parents, educators, health care personnel and mental health practitioners in identifying problems will be defined.
