It is widely accepted that sexual behavior problems (SBPs) in children are distinguished from sexual harassment or deviant sexual behaviors associates with late childhood or adolescence – both in terms of their causes and developmental pathways. However, empirical studies on the factors related to SBPs, along with effective interventions, are limited. In Korea, in particular, there are no empirical studies regarding children's sexual behavior, nor are there any guidelines for the evaluation of, and intervention in, SBPs. This study reviewed the assessments and interventions for SBPs in children via foreign literature and proposed practical recommendations that can be referred to by clinicians helping children and their caregivers.
