Abstract: 

A specialist in early childhood education in Oslo is giving new meaning to the term "sexual games," and stirring widespread debate.

Norwegians woke up Tuesday morning to news that a respected Oslo pre-school teacher, backed by child psychologists, thinks children should be allowed to openly express their own sexuality, not least through sex play and games in the local day care centers known as barnehager, or kindergartens.
