Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sexual exploration behaviors are normal and common in early childhood, usually between the ages of 2 and 6. As children enter school age and beyond, they tend to become more aware of societal norms and expectations around sexuality, which may lead to a decline in sexual exploration behaviors. At age 11, children may be entering puberty and becoming more curious about sexuality, so a decline in exploration behaviors would be less likely.
