Modeling Healthy Technology Behaviors for Young Children

This webinar provides an overview for military family readiness professionals of the importance for parents and caregivers to model healthy boundaries with technology for healthy child social-emotional development; explains how to support parents and other adults set appropriate examples in their use of technology, including teaching children and youth lessons on consent that are translatable to both in-person and online interactions; and explores how positive examples of technology use by adults can help reduce the risk for children and youth to engage in, or be impacted by, problematic sexual behavior.

Preventing the Onset of Youth Problem Sexual Behaviors

One of the many troubling aspects of child sexual victimization is the high proportion of teens who engage younger children in sexual behaviors or peers in coerced sexual behaviors. Juvenile justice records indicate that 14 years of age is the modal age of children exhibiting problematic sexual behaviors (PSB) toward prepubescent children (Finkelhor et al., 2009; Snyder, 2000). These statistics may seem surprising until we consider that early adolescence is when most children begin engaging in sexual behaviors with others and begin navigating sexual relationships.
