When children discover that there r two genders?

Question

is it normal when kids try to "discover" each others body ??

so they play games where they have to be naked and so on...like playing as if they r doctors or whatever

is it possible that it will effect them negatively ?

Answer 1

Children are naturally curious.

Just monitor the play time so their game doesn't go to far.

I think that after age four or five that, that kind of game should monitor very closely if parents allow their children to play the sought of game.

Answer 2

it all depends on age

Answer 3

As a parent, that is the age that I taught my girls about the names of parts of the anatomy and good touches and bad touches.  This is the normal age that children discover that there is a difference between boys and girls and you really should talk to your children about the 2 genders, anatomical names and good and bad touches because pedophiles are very real and numerous in our society.  I speak from experience as a victim of more than 1 pedophile and this is the age that it started and I had no knowledge of touches or names of body parts so I did not know how to approach my parents about it and spent a very long time in therapy to get over it.

Answer 4

no i didnt do anything like that =/ it was just there and we really didnt care if we were different...

Answer 5

We did this when we were kids and we are all as normal as possible - it's only negative if it goes too far or the kids are shamed.
