Hi (: My name is lora and I have a 6 year old cousin named Nina. Lately I've been noticing that my cousin likes touching her private. She likes rubbing it. Even today, we where playing in the front yard, she kept rubbing her private on my huge bouncey ball. Its like she was humping it. She likes gliding herself on my bed too! I don't know what's wrong with her, but could it be masterbation? I know it sounds pretty stupid, but I'm just worried. She also seems to be "attracted" to girls. She always touches my butt (I know, weirdddd) and she always asks me about my body parts. She asks stuff she shouldn't ask. She tends to like rubbing her tooth brush over her pants on her private part too. I just need help. I don't know what to do. Telling her mom isn't an option. Someone help. Pleaseeee.
best to just ignore her exploring. Many children do the same things, some even younger. Soon she will realize that touching herself in front of others is not acceptable. Her mother no doubt is aware of this behavior anyway as she isn't into hiding what she is doing and has no idea its not acceptable.
Young children sometimes discover the pleasure and joy of masturbating.
