My four year old is not so curious about her little brother as she is of herself. But she does things like carry her blanket between her legs and I have caught her a couple times with her finger down her pants. Should I be concerned?
Very normal.... she has found out that touching herself on her privates feels good....
Just remind her that touching herself should only be done in the bathroom or in the privacy of her bedroom.
nothing to be concerned about unless shes itching a lot, might be an infection. YES kids can masturbate <gasp> if ya catch her doing it, please dont fly off the handle. Its perfectly normal and shes not a dirty birdy. Just tell her thats better done in private aka (her room, bathroom)
No, you needn't be concerned. My mother just made sure to tell me before she sent me to Kindergarten to only do that in private. I clearly remember the conversation.
I guess I would like to know what you should be concerned about? Very normal.
This is totally normal & nothing to be concerned about. I would just talk to her about when & where it is appropriate behavior. With my son we told him it was only ok to do when he was in the bath. It gave him a "safe" place to explore his own body & on the plus side he got really clean :)
No it's totally normal but it's also ok to let her know that there are some things that she needs to do in private. Hands down the pants isn't something you do in the living room or anywhere else in public.
