The authors of this book describe the numerous facets of sexual development in children and adolescents and provide educational professionals with guidance for a more conscious approach to the uncertainties, taboos, fears, and myths surrounding the topic of sexuality. At the same time, the authors contribute to a positive understanding of sexuality by engaging with these questions. Children are sexual beings from the very beginning and develop their sensual and erotic desires in relation to their parents and their environment. Physical sensations are accompanied by feelings, wishes, and fantasies that they experience as pleasurable but also threatening. Educators often feel uncertain when dealing with child and adolescent sexuality: What must and can be talked about? Where should boundaries be drawn? What is acceptable, and what is considered inappropriate?.
