SEXUAL ISSUES IN CLINICAL PRACTICE FORUM ARCHIVE
Re:child play or sexual abuse?
This seems purely innocent. You might broach the subject to the children and offer to answer questions they might have about their bodies, and what the parts do/are. Perhaps you could even show pictures (non-graphic of course) of a vulva and testicular region and explain each part's name and function. The normalcy of this may help open a dialogue of communication and releive a stigma that many children face in comminucating with adults about their growing/changing bodies. I think the important part is to strive to make this a learning endeavor not a scolding or embarrassing issue.
Good Luck
