It is often hard for some adults and parents to realize that even at age 3 children are sexual beings and experience sexual feelings. Yes, perhaps your husband is just a dad who loves his children a whole bunch and uses touch to demonstrate his affection, but if his behaviors raise questions for you, now is a good time to address safety in your home.
It’s never an overreaction to worry about a child’s safety – even when it concerns loved one’s behaviors. Whenever an adult has any concern – whether it’s a gut feeling, an observation or other experience – with another adult’s behaviors with children, it is always wise to talk about it.
