Supporting Diversity and Equity
Abstract
Great growth and developmental milestones occur in the first five years of life. The
child continues to actively grow and develop until they are about 18 years of age. After this
age, most government defines the person to be a grown up. During early childhood, a child
learns greatly from their environment. It is necessary that parent/guardians inform their
children appropriately concerning sexuality. Most parents shy away but this may be
detrimental to the development of the child. The case of Annie is a clear illustration of the
knowledge children gain from their environment and why it is necessary for teachers and
parents to inform their children regarding sexuality.
