It’s important that everyone who works with children and young people has a good understanding of how children develop sexually. This can help you recognise which sexual behaviours are developmentally typical and identify if a child is displaying behaviour that is problematic or harmful.
We’ve put together some information about the stages of typical sexual development and behaviour for different age groups. We’ve included examples of behaviour that is common and uncommon, and information about what to do if you are worried that a child is displaying problematic or harmful sexual behaviour.
All children go through phases of sexual development. Just like every other part of growing up, some children mature sooner or later than others. For example, some children may have developmental delays whilst others may reach puberty early.
In general, typical sexual behaviour should be:
Typical sexual behaviour should not cause physical or emotional harm to anybody involved (National Sexual Violence Resource Centre, 2013).
The tabs to the left contain some examples of typical sexual behaviour for different ages.
Learn how to recognise the signs that a young person is in an unhealthy relationship and what action you can take to help them.
At this stage, it's common to notice natural exploratory behaviour emerging when children feel safe and comfortable. This includes:
Very young children can have erections, beginning from birth (Virtual Lab School, 2021).
It is uncommon for younger children to discuss specific sexual acts, use explicit sexual language or have adult-like sexual contact with other people (Stop It Now, 2007).
If you’re worried about a child’s sexual behaviour, you should act as soon as possible.
As children get a little older, it’s common to see them displaying behaviour like:
As children become more aware of social norms and ‘rules’ around sexualised behaviour, it’s common for them to test boundaries. This might include using ‘naughty’ words they’ve heard from other people (NCTSN, 2009).
It’s uncommon for children aged 5-8 to have adult-like sexual interactions, discuss specific sexual acts or self-stimulate in public (Stop It Now, 2007).
If you’re worried about a child’s sexual behaviour, you should act as soon as possible.
During these ages, children begin to get more curious about sex and relationships . They may start to be attracted to other people. Examples of typical sexual behaviour during this stage are:
It’s uncommon for children in this age group to display sexual behaviour in a public place, or regularly display adult-like sexual behaviour such as having oral or genital contact or intercourse (Stop It Now, 2007; 2020).
If you’re worried about a child’s sexual behaviour, you should act as soon as possible.
During adolescence, sexual behaviour becomes more private and young people begin to explore their sexual identity. You might notice them:
The age of consent to engage in sexual activity in the UK is 16-years-old. However, the law is there to protect children from abuse or exploitation. It is not designed to unnecessary criminalise children.
It is uncommon for adolescents to masturbate in public, or display sexual attraction towards a much younger child (Stop It Now, 2007; 2020).
If you’re worried about a child’s sexual behaviour, you should act as soon as possible.
Schools, colleges and other education settings play an important role in teaching children and young people about healthy relationships.
