Effective Practices for Working with Children with Sexual Behavioral Problems (Part 2 of 2)

Participants will learn how to assess the sexual behaviors of children under the age of 12 years and categorize what is normal sexual behavior, concerning behavior, and need of professional intervention. How to make effective safety plans and supervision rules for child and family. How to report and who to report to.
Participants will then be able to use tools for intervening on sexually reactive, normal sexual curiosity, and children who are sexually abusive to others.
Participants will learn how to teach different boundaries both body and feeling boundaries and the feelings of shame and how to effectively manage the feelings of shame.
Participants will also be able to identify all the ways that kids can get into serious trouble for sexual behavior, distorted thinking that leads to sexual behaviors, and the feelings about one’s self.
Participants will then learn how to work with kids on their own victimization, the clarification process of talking about the behavior (with the other child if that’s possible that might have been involved) and how to maintain the safety plan over time.
