Play, prey or “sexploration”? Understanding and responding to sexual actions by children at primary school

Authors
Abstract

Schools and teachers are expected to respond appropriately when they encounter children acting sexually. This article describes the literature on child sexual development and behaviour and the responses of Waikato primary school principals to a questionnaire. Specific issues for New Zealand primary schools and teachers are investigated, with suggestions for child educators to develop rational and collaborative approaches to support children and families.
