O DESENVOLVIMENTO DA SEXUALIDADE HUMANA: PERSCRUTANDO A INDIVIDUALIDADE DA CRIANÇA NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Abstract

In this article we are interested in addressing human sexuality, a theme that arises from my experience as a mother and teacher of children adolescents. Aware of the importance of not becoming silent in relation to the responses expected by children when they address the adult with any doubts, some questions arise regarding this topic, such as, what can be considered normal in each phase of the child's development? And how can we identify these phases? How can the school, still in Early Childhood Education, explore children's sexuality in order to contribute to their education and body care? The questions led us to seek to understand how sexuality occurs in the infantile sphere, how it develops throughout its phases, as well as understanding how the Early Childhood School can contribute to the child becoming more careful with your own body. For this purpose, the research is of a qualitative nature, based on the bibliographic review. As theoretical support, we used authors such as Sgmund Freud and Michael Foucault. With its development we realized how much we, teachers, still need to study on the issue of sexuality, understanding scientifically subjects that must be approached with students in any educational phase. As possible results we have.
