About this listen

This episode explores how parents can approach the topic of prepubescent self-touch and masturbation in a healthy, non-shaming way. The hosts discuss the differences between exploratory touch, self-soothing, and coping patterns in children, emphasizing that these behaviors are normal parts of development. They address common parental fears and misconceptions, encourage open-mindedness, and suggest teaching children a variety of coping skills rather than focusing on stopping the behavior. The episode concludes with advice for parents to reflect on their own beliefs, respond thoughtfully, and seek additional resources if needed.
