Apparently big fake boobs are a good way to get attention.

I think that would be inappropriate.

BC Government booklet for parents…
Page 25
“ Sexual Development by Age
From birth to 24 months, your toddler may:
• enjoy being naked
• like to touch parts of their body, including genitals
• get erections or vaginal lubrication as a natural reflex
From 24 to 36 months, your toddler may:
• touch their genitals or masturbate
• notice differences between boys and girls
• explore bodies (“play doctor”) with a same- age playmate
• be interested in body functions”

Yep. It’s been verboten to talk about SOGI. So here we are.

Masturbating and Exploring With Other Children
DID YOU KNOW
It’s as normal for your toddler to touch their genitals as it is to explore their toes or fingers.
Toddlers are naturally curious about their bodies. And once they begin to explore, they quickly learn that touching their genitals feels good.
If your toddler is touching themself in public, remind them that genitals are personal areas, best explored in private spaces like their own bedroom. Offer a toy or other distraction.
If they’re exploring genitals with another child of similar age, calmly tell them their genitals are private and shouldn’t be touched or looked at by other people unless they have given them permission. Re-direct them to another activity, and ask them if they have questions.
If they’re exploring genitals with an older child, calmly talk with your child about what happened. Tell your child they haven’t done anything wrong but remind them that no one should touch or look at your child’s genitals without their permission. Talk with your health care provider if you have concerns.

It’s extremist to question if this is what we should focus on with our toddlers.

That all sounds pretty normal, no? Maybe I’m missing something here.

“ If they’re exploring genitals with another child of similar age, calmly tell them their genitals are private and shouldn’t be touched or looked at by other people unless they have given them permission”

The problem is it is being normalized to teach a toddler that they can give permission to someone to touch them sexually.

[dasmo]

The other problem is making sex a focus for toddlers.

[Matt R.]

Yep I was missing something.

[Mike K.]

It’s an infatuation with sex, ultimately?

[todd]

One of the many reasons I’m trying not to have the “luxury item” known as children. Reason number one is children are creepy

Also you have to cooperate with a second adult minimum, usually that’s the worst part

[dasmo]

Children are amazing and it’s a real joy to live with their innocence. It ain’t easy though. But well worth it.

You masturbated when you were 2? You were much more advanced than I was. I was under the impression that until you hit puberty, there was no such thing.

[todd]

Probably best to continue this in the school thread

Glad to see someone taking care of my duties while I am on vacation.
