Reflecting on Sexual Development & Behavior: Infant Toddler Case StudyRead the case study about Logan, then complete the activities on the following pages. Reflect on your responses with a coach, trainer, or administrator.Logan is a 16-month-old in a toddler classroom who is thought of as a healthy and typically developing child with a supportive family. Program staff have noticed that during diaper changes, Logan often attempts to touch his penis in a way that appears to be self-stimulating. Logan will become upset and cry when staff quickly finish cleaning him up, preventing him from continuing. This only lasts a few minutes, and Logan quickly moves on to playing. One morning Danielle, Logan’s mother, requested to change Logan’s diaper before leaving, explaining that Logan had a bowel movement on the way to the center. The staff observed Danielle respond to Logan’s touching by saying, “That’s nasty. Don’t touch your wee-wee!” as she quickly swatted Logan’s hands away from his genitals.
