Kindergarten Children should Dance Naked and Masturbate in Pre-Schools; Norwegian Child Expert

OSLO, Norway, October 17, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – An Oslo pre-school teacher, backed by child psychologists, has suggested that kindergarten children be encouraged to “express” their sexuality through “sex-play” and games, including dancing naked and masturbating, in pre-school and day-care centres.
 
The English language edition of Norway’s Aftenposten newspaper reports that Pia Friis, the respected operator of an Oslo kindergarten, told an interviewer that children should be able “to look at each other and examine each other's bodies. They can play doctor, play mother and father, dance naked and masturbate”.
 
“But their sexuality must also be socialized, so they are not, for example, allowed to masturbate while sitting and eating. Nor can they be allowed to pressure other children into doing things they don't want to,” Friis said.
 
Friis also faulted some staff of day-care centres and kindergartens who, she said, might react negatively to children expressing their sexuality. “When the personnel are uncertain, that passes on to the children, and it can be negative.”
 
Friis’ opinion was backed up by Norwegian child psychologist Thore Langfeldt, who said, “Children must learn about sexuality, otherwise things can go very wrong.”
 
“Children can't object to something they don't know about, and children can more easily and readily report assaults if they already are aware of their own sexuality.”
 
In the US earlier this year, a report published by the American Psychological Association (APA) warned against the early sexualizing of young girls, especially through media and marketing. The APA task force found that teachers and parents are among the influences in the over-sexualization of children and that girls often end by seeing themselves as sexual objects. The results can include increased risks of depression, eating disorders and low self-esteem.
 
Joseph D’Agostino of the Population Research Institute (PRI) wrote that the APA report did not go far enough in exploring the effects of radical feminism on teaching children to see themselves sexually. In a PRI weekly briefing, he wrote, “The politically correct view is that the sexualization of girls and feminism are opposing forces, but in fact they have gone hand-in-hand.” He wrote that feminism teaches girls that chastity is a form of “oppression”. 
 
“They have taught that there are no natural limits to sexuality,” he wrote. “Based on feminist principles, why shouldn’t little girls sexualize themselves? And why shouldn’t adult men and women view them as sexual if there is no such thing as unnatural sexuality?”
 
Others have made the connection with early sexualizing of children with child sexual abuse. Cathy Wing, of Media-Awareness, a non-profit educational organization for media literacy said that sexually explicit advertising or products aimed at pre-teens naturally leads to adults treating children as sexual beings ready for exploitation. Wing told the Toronto Sun, “Perhaps when we surround ourselves with sexualized images of young people we shouldn't be surprised that a segment of the society think that it is okay to have sex with children,”
 
The suggestion by Norwegian child experts follows a larger trend in many countries of the European Union to raise the level of sexual activity in every area of the culture.
 
In May 2006, the German government was blasted by dozens of human rights groups and experts in human trafficking for building new brothels and “sex huts” in time to service fans at the World Cup soccer tournament in Berlin. It was estimated that 40,000 women were added, with official approval, to the existing 400,000 who already plied Germany’s legal prostitution or “sex-trade”.
 
In July 2007, the German Ministry for Family Affairs was accused of “state-encouraged incest” when it issued a pair of education booklets encouraging parents to sexually massage their children as young as 1 to 3 years of age. One of the booklets recommended that fathers should “devote attention” to the sexual organs of young daughters and another suggested teaching children the movements of copulation.

Since you brought that up, any good advice on getting my husband to go to Church with me? Do I have to go alone? It’s only the 3rd commandment, but I have hollered at him to go with me and it hasn’t worked. BTW, we never argue over anything else. I realize you are not Dear Abby...

[Old Professer]

“Ever’body’s gotta die of sumpin’...”

[TigersEye]

Oh, me either. Do what’s appropriate in the moment. ; )

[TigersEye]

I frighten myself with what I want to do: spend vacation this year in a survivalist camp. I frighten myself if I don't. I will not live in fear, regardless of the fact that I am a female [and cute, at that] and the fact is that we need to be more self-sufficient and less self-serving...

And funny too! Keep on a fussin' with things, Froufrou. LOL

[Froufrou]

If I break a fingernail, I won’t be back for awhile...

I’m giving the impression I’m like the ex-girlfriend in You’ve Got Mail...the one how whines, “Where are my tic-tacs?” and when Tom Hanks looks at her she yells, “What?!”

I’m really not that bad...yet...

[Riverman94610]

In San Francisco,they can dance around naked,masturbate,play house while on birth control pills and THEN go to the city owned heroin shooting gallery to calm down after all that action!

[TigersEye]

Ha ha ha! No you're not. But you're doggone funny.

If I send you some kevlar yarn would you knit me a bullet proof sweater? ;^)

[Froufrou]

I’d have to learn how to knit first!

But I’m a true pioneer woman, down to my good teeth, which are currently in braces which has lead to my leaner, svelter, meaner, catlike quality...[/b.s.]

[TigersEye]

Oops. I’m confusing you with another self-reliant FReeper woman whose profile I viewed yesterday. I don’t remember who that was now. So many dainty women with Glocks here I can’t keep them straight. lol

[Froufrou]

OMG! Do you know the story of me and the Glock, from last April???!!! Scared crap outa me!!!

But, after an expert came over and talked me outa the tree, I learned to shoot a .22!

[A CA Guy]

Sounds like they are bringing the crazy big time!

See #1174. We had a fishfry after the shoot. The next one is in May in Aransas Pass! You want pinged?

Number one, keep going yourself. Let him know you would like him to go with you, but that’s it. Tell him once or twice and let it sink in. Don’t remind him every Saturday that the big day is coming. You’ll just solidify his decision not to attend.

Don’t think for a minute he doesn’t appreciate God. I don’t know your husband, but I know myself. I haven’t attended regularly (or just about at all) for twenty years. That doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate all that God has done for us, and provided for us.

He may or may not ever decide to go. I don’t think that makes him a bad or unsaved person. I don’t think it helps.

You can’t sell religion. It either appeals to people or it doesn’t. Leave a few things lying around that won’t hit him smack in the face, that he can pick up when you’re not around. Choose the material wisely. Good luck.

I had my most spiritual moment on a beginner’s ski slope in Vail, all by myself, in the snow. Many years ago.

When you have an epiphany like that, it’s easy to understand that you don’t find your faith in Church alone.

We were doing fine, joined a United Methodist Church, then we lost our moms and stopped going. I have come to realize I don’t like their politics - is that sad, or what?!

[GSWarrior]

What percentage of the population in San Francisco is homosexual? Somthing like 15%, I believe.

People do need to grow up.

Some crackpot researcher from Norway suggests something outrageous that Americans will never allow to happen and people here take leave of their senses.

Lifesite news can always be counted on for a hysterical headline.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes it is sad, but there are other places you can go. Start visiting some alternatives once or twice a month until you find a nice home. I don’t think you have to beat people over the head from the pulpit. Just reinforce good Christian ideals and let the parishioners use their moral compass to guide them.

[Froufrou]

Hysteria is what liberals accuse pro-lifers of.

People need to be accountable to themselves and in turn maybe they’ll learn to be accountable to others.

[SF Republican]

8% of the overall population, you are off by about 100%

[GSWarrior]

I knew it was a small amount. You won’t hear those statistics being reported anywhere.

[SF Republican]

Much like our politicians - they are just really noisy! Lots of people (when dissing SF) don’t need no stinkin facts. I have never been approached by a gay, never fallen over a street person, and have only been panhandled about a dozen times, but I have only lived here and worked downtown for 15 years.
