Sexuality development in young children refers to multiple developmental processes that are connected to knowing about one’s body, physiological responses, gender identity, and respectful relationships. Kent Chrisman and Donna Couchenour have elucidated ways that children’s healthy sexuality development is related to physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development. Each of the developmental processes is involved in young children’s healthy sexuality development as sexuality is viewed as an aspect of being human, and not just as sexual activity.
