When children ask where the babies come from or when toddlers touch their genitals, parents often don’t know how to react. Sexologist Magdalena Heinzl explains in an interview with the starwhy it is so important to educate daughter and son and what sexuality in children actually means.
In many families, there is little or no talk about sexuality and the idea prevails that there should be an educational talk at the age of 12, 13 or 15.
Magdalena Heinzl: The assumption is that as a society we say that sexuality is something that appears in the teenage years and then disappears in the elderly in their 50s or 60s. I find that very difficult. After all, humans are sexual beings from birth.
