It can be hard to tell if sexual behaviour is normal for a child’s age and stage of development, or if it’s a warning sign of harmful behaviour. Every child develops in their own way, but there is a range of acceptable behaviours linked to age and stage of development. Sometimes this involves other children of a similar age. We can help with any worries.
Talk to our non-judgemental experienced advisors call, email or chat our anonymous Stop It Now helpline (0808 1000 900). You don’t have to give your real name or details that identify you, and can stay anonymous.
