It is a normal part of child development to exhibit a range of sexualized behaviours. Psychosexual development begins in infancy and early childhood with an interest in exploring one’s own body then, during latency, moves to a curiosity about the bodies of others.
Instances of sexual exploration are often spontaneous and are experienced as emotionally positive and sometimes “silly”. These behaviors tend to be linked to feelings of connection and attachment and they lack the erotic quality found in adult sexual behavior.
Some sexualized behavior in children can be concerning. When children exhibit shame, guilt, fear or anxiety or are preoccupied with sexual acts, there might be something else going on for them. It is certainly a concern when children are experimenting with others especially where there is a significant difference in the children’s age (more than a year or so), strength, and power and/or the other child is uncomfortable. When these behaviours occur it is critical that children have the support of professionals.
At Bayridge we work with parents to help transition children gracefully through awkward or concerning sexualized behaviours.
We’ve supported 35,000+ individuals. We have completed over 300,000 sessions to date. We have a countrywide network of therapists.
Catching negative thought triggers is a significant strategy that therapists at Bayridge use to train children in emotional management.
Bayridge Kids are taught to monitor their heart rate variability through increased self-awareness and learn to turn the dial down when emotionally flooding.
Bayridge Kids has worked with children to increase attention, memory, behavioural control, and focus. This always includes collaboratively working with parents and often teachers.
We believe that in working with children we also must work with the parents. After all, there is no more important influence in their lives than their parent.
Children thrive in safe, secure environments. Separation, divorce, or change can trigger anxiety, depression, or acting out behaviours. It is critical for child development that all small ‘T’ trauma is effectively processed in their brain, memory, and emotions for no lingering effects.
Kids, Control, Chocolates and Cards
Your kid is a beautiful bundle of unpredictability. There are millions, if not billions, of genetic variabilities in the composition of your child. We cannot control what we get in a child. “Life is like a box of chocolates. You don’t know what you will get.” Your child is a gift on life’s adventure. Your child and you have been dealt cards. Your job is to play the hand you have been given.
The benefits of online therapy may outweigh the face-to-face experience. One person explains: I would rather watch an entire streaming series than see only a few in high definition. In other words, the benefit of online allows me to meet regularly and consistently, at my convenience. In the end it is all about finishing well!
Since COVID forced our industry to practice online, client feedback shows online therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy, and far more convenient and dependable. (exception: serious and complicated mental health issues.) Hence more and more of our clients prefer online therapy.
