My name is Stacy and I am a reporter who is working on a feature about kids and their sexuality/gender. I would love to speak with moms about their thoughts and feelings on when it's just "kids being kids" vs. when they question their child's gender and/or sexuality. I am also looking to speak with moms who may have questions, worries, or concerns about their young children, kids, or teens. I am located in New York City, but have been interviewing moms nationwide. I am doing both on and off camera interviews (for those who may be camera shy). If you or someone you know is interested or would like more information, please email me at tvproducer4809@yahoo.com or call Stacy at 646-728-4809.
My best guess is that it changes from being cute, innocent or down right fun when their old enough to know better. This of course is up to the parental figures to instill in the little ones without making them too terribly ashamed or embarrased. We want to teach them to respect others and that some things are private to the owners and should not be impossed uponed. It's cute when your very young child is bathing with a cousin or friend of the opposite sex for the first time. You know the glances as to ask, " What is that thing?" and "Why doesn't she have one Mommy?" Although, it is a very differnt thing when your child is gropping little girls at school or your little girl is showing off her undies. So I say start teaching privacy and respect early own with out the shame.
