Time to understand the "curious little creatures"

Based on several clinical situations in sessions of psychotherapy we noted contradictions between the adults' disparagement of children's curiosity about sex and the fact that these same adults themselves hypersexualize the environment. This led us to wonder whether this social contradiction has psychological effects on children's emotional development. What might become of children's curiosity if there were no moment for understanding?

Children's curiosity about sex; hypersexualization; logical time; subjectification
