What can I do?
My little girl has started masterbating. She is 2 and 4months I would say she found this about 2 months ago.
I understand its perfectly normal and I don't want to shame her for something that jist feels nice to her. What I do want to do is try to stop it in the public spaces of the house and try to make it something she learns she knows is fine to do but in private and on her own, say in her bedroom. How do you have a conversation with a toddler about privacy with out making it something shameful. I also don't want to make it a bigger deal than it is.
Any help would be appreciated.
We haven't broached the privacy bit yet but it is a convo we need to have soon, for now we have said you can touch your vagina but you must wash your hands after as wee wee has germs. My little girl only does it when she doesn't have any pants on and we have just ignored it other than that, I feel like we may need to ask her to do it privately in her bedroom or bathroom at some point but going to see how it goes as I think it is just exploring and may pass soon.
