It is known, however, that sexual behavior problems:
Are not limited to any particular group of children
■
Occur in children across all age ranges, socioeconomic levels, cultures, living
■
circumstances, and family structures
Are not related to children’s sexual orientation
■
Some children with sexual behavior problems have married parents, some have divorced parents.
Some have abuse histories, while others have no history of abuse or other trauma. But children
with sexual behavior problems are all children first. And with proper treatment, children with sexual
behavior problems can learn to have respect for themselves and others, and to demonstrate healthy
boundaries and behaviors.
