The Therapeutic Parenting Podcast
Society & Culture:Relationships
When small children display signs of sexualised behaviour, foster and adoptive parents find it repugnant.
As NATP expert Jane Mitchell explains, they are rightly furious with those responsible for the abuse their child must have suffered in an earlier existence.
In this episode, Jane sets out an array of simple but effective strategies that help to reset a child's understanding of what is appropriate behaviour between children and adults.
But she advises learning to differentiate between what is normal childhood curiousity and what is clearly entirely improper knowledge.
If it's the latter, parents should alert their supervising social worker and the local authority without delay and find out what therapeutic intervention is available.
In the case of older children who were subject to abuse in their early years, they may well be vulnerable to some form of sexual grooming.
In all instances, the NHS, the NSPCC and Barnardo's are all good ports of call as is the website Thinkuknow
