Bethany Larsen
Training Manager, Childhaven—
“I first met Amy at a small workshop she facilitated and found her message and method of training compelling. After talking with her further, I invited her to train our staff at Childhaven. Amy provided solid guidelines for our staff to consider when evaluating children's sex play behaviors to determine concerning behaviors compared to typical development. Amy puts the participants at ease and helped us understand the importance of finding our personal comfort with sex in order to calmly discuss the topic with children.”

Do you work with young kids?
Do you know...

  • When "playing doctor" is normal
    for kids and when it's not?
  • The difference between sex play
    and sexualized play?
  • The types of activities that
    are cause for concern?
  • The definition of sexual abuse?

Don't dismay if you don't know the answers to these questions because you're not alone!


When you know the different phases of child sexual development, common and uncommon behaviors, and how to effectively talk to kids who are playing this way, the kids in your care are protected - and so are you.

Keeping the kids in your care safe from sexual abuse is important, but it's equally important for you to protect yourself by knowing which behaviors are healthy and natural and which are not.

Plus, once you know which behaviors are healthy and natural and which are not, you'll worry less because you can easily decide if the play is healthy or if it's cause for concern.

If you work with young kids, this training is a must for you!
