Summary/Abstract: Sexual mores, together with regulating them morality, are constantly undergoing a transformation. Despite this, customs and morality guard constantly a child's innocence. Sigmund Freud's discovery that the child is also a sexual being, has changed the current thinking about the child and his sexuality not much. The object of the present text is the issue of girls' sexuality. On the one hand its manifestation is a developmental phenomenon, on the other hand it highlights its social nature. This is particularly so when the girls' sexuality reveals elements of interpersonal play and teasing. Analysis of the issues, however, requires taking into account the position from which one looks at it. When a problem occurs in relation to sexuality joned with childishness immediately involves axilogical and evaluative dimensions. The direction and value of thinking in such conditions are determined by social, cultural and clinical conditions. The analysis of the phenomenon of girls' sexuality from the pedagogical point of view, however, presents also the opportunity to perceive aspects that may flee hasty categorization.
