To help parents understand more about the difference between healthy and developmentally expected sexual exploration and play, they have produced separate traffic light toolkit leaflets for parents of children under-5 and those aged 5 - 11. The leaflets are also available in Welsh.
The leaflets can be downloaded from this page: www.parentsprotect.co.uk/age_appropriate_sexual_behaviour.htm
