hooyutoo2	Read what Ozark Butterfly said. She said it very eloquently. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Robynne	Don't give attention to the fact she's doing it or she might do it more. Kids do weird things, it's probably not what you think it is. She won't be fully formed so it won't be masturbation, she'll just be kidding around. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sdcongo	I did the same thing but with my stuff animals , I didn't know any better when I was 4 ,just tell her you are hurting the pillow Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Pon	lol thats actually very normal. Nothing wrong with it, she'll grow out of it for a while until she hits puberty again. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lauren!	omg, i did that when i was little with a chair. My mom just explained to me that I didnt need to do that because it is a very "ugly thing to do". lol and I got in trouble if I did it again. Now I hear stories about and get VERY EMBARRASED!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jtd	Don't tell her she's doing anything wrong or nasty try to explain to her that's not something that little girls do. She's just a curious child Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hugh	Just let her be, thats not masturbation, and even if it is, its only natural. These things can occur naturally, she doesn't know any better, besides, she doesn't know what's going on. If you want her to stop, just find some other activities for her to do. There's no use freaking out about it, because she won't understand why you are freaking out. Hope that helps! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Raging *****	Masturbation is a human instinct. She's just a curious little girl. Just tell her to do it in private. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

melaniesunshine18	your telling her to stop, but did you tell her the reason, she may be 5yrs but she can still understand your feelings towards it Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

L.S. Kennedy	It doesn't sound like she was really masturbating. I wouldn't worry too much unless you fail to stop the behavior. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

packinheat2u	go to nvsh.nl ( they'll explain some more, but you'll have to choose english on the top right hand corner). According to them babies that are in the mothers stomach, still forming also masturbate. from a very young age before you are even born, you learn to do that. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

BoLin GirL	I work at a day care and this happens every now and then with some of the children. The parents will take them to the doctor, but it is pretty much a waste of time. I say this because the only thing the doctor will do is tell you that it is natural, which it is. What you need to do is just sit down with your 5 year old and talk to her. Tell her what you feel on the subject. Don't tell her it is wrong, because it isn't, but just talk to her and let her know that there are other fun things she can do, like playing outside with her friends or you could take her shopping to buy a new toy. Hope I helped :D Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Melissa Marie	DO NOT SCOLD HER like some people have been saying. don't tell her it's bad either. this can cause major negative effects on her view of sexuality as she grows older. she will forever associate negative feelings to sex. instead, explain sex to her. she will not understand half of what you are telling her but she will some. Tell her its what grown ups do when they are married (or something to that effect) also explain that nobody is allowed to touch her private areas (you never know where she learned this behavior from but i hope to god it's not from a stranger or a "trusted" family member or friend). keep in mind it is very normal for children of that age to be curious about their body parts and sexuality. even more so at a younger age because of all the sexuality in movies and TV. try looking through a parenting book, i'm sure there has to be a chapter somewhere about situations like this. just be glad you dont have a boy. they are more prone to masterbaiting at a very young age! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Tommy V	leave her alone, honestly, just ignore it. Just don't spank her or punish her in any way. You will want her to be raised in a way that she doesn't feel bad about her sexuality. I know that it is hard as a parent, but just think of the future for now. Good luck to you. Peace Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Liza	You should, in no way, shape or form, take the advice of anyone who says your child is abnormal. Every child explores him or herself at some stage in life; it is completely, 100% normal for your child to masturbate and touch herself. However, as mentioned earlier, if it makes you uncomfortable, talk with her about doing it in the privacy of her own bedroom and not in front of others. Do not scold, berate or make her feel bad about her behavior...you can create negative feelings about her body and her sexuality later in life. If you are concerned with her behavior, you can gently ask her (but do not pester!) why she is doing it, and she'll most likely give you a simple answer, such as "It feels good." If you think she is being sexually abused, then seek outside help immediately. Generally, children are not masturbating because of something being done to them or because something is wrong. At your child's age, she is not relating her behavior to sex or sexuality. She is purely curious about her sex organs and what feels good. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

SvelteMom	I can understand why it is a bit upsetting for you as a mom. Most child behavior experts say that it is normal for kids to explore their bodies in this way. You want her to develop a healthy attitude towards her body and sexuality so you don't want to embarass her or shame her about it. You want to let her know when and how she should do this. I would tell her that if she wants to do this, she should be at home in her room. If you are worried that she does this too much or is acting out a movie or something, be sure talk to her pediatrician for advice. The video clip below has an interview with a pediatrician talking about this topic. Hope this helps ! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Amy	ok PLEASE don't listen to anyone telling you that's "weird!" i just graduated from college and took a human sexuality class my last semester where we talked about this. it is completely normal for both boys and girls to masturbate from a very young age. just explain to your daughter (and it will take more than once likely) that it's ok for her to touch her own body but that we only do that when we're by ourselves. you shouldn't act like it's bad or dirty because it will give her the wrong idea about her body. when kids touch themselves it's not consciously sexual. oviously your daughter doesn't know what she's doing, but it feels good so she does it. it's no different than scratching an itch because it feels good. she just doesn't know yet that what she's doing isn't appropriate when other people around, so you need to tell her before she starts humping things around people lol. cute story from my human sexuality teacher: her and her husband took their neighbor's little boy (around your daughter's age) to the zoo and he had his hands down his pants playing with himself. they told him that he shouldn't do that in public and he replied something like "but touching my penis helps me relax" hahah if only grown men could get away with that excuse! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

T.l	Tell daddy to stop watching porn in the living room Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sabrinareto	wow... if this is a REAL question and not some pervert you should NOT make her feel guilty or that she is doing something wrong. it's going to mess her up down the road. this is probably not anything remotely sexual if she is 5 years old. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Trying to Figure Myself Out	I've studied child development and psychology in university, and trust me, it is not uncommon to see children even as young as three masturbating. Some may rub themselves on furniture or seat belts, and some may actually take off their pants and touch their private parts. The best way to deal with this is to not try to force her to stop...this may cause the child to feel like it is a forbidden act and will either feel guilty for doing it, or will feel more incentive to do it (sort of an act of rebellion). Besides, masturbation is normal. And children are not doing it to climax or thinking of sex. They don't usually know what that stuff even is. They just like the feeling and of course, as human nature states, we do what feels good and avoid what feels bad. If you want to have a talk with her or you catch her doing it again, it would be best to just remind her that it is a private thing, and she can rub herself on the pillow if she really wants to, but she should not discuss it with people or do it anywhere outside of her bedroom, since it is a very personal matter. Emphasize this so that you do not have to worry about her trying something like this at school or elsewhere in public (there are a lot of weirdos out there). If you are against masturbation and want to discourage it, then of course you can try. I would just tell her it is for grown-ups and ask her kindly not to do it. Also, you can try distracting her. She might just be doing this because she was bored with whatever she was previously doing! But of course, I would recommend just telling her to keep it private and personal. This way, you may walk in on it less and you don't have to worry about her doing this around other people or in public. Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Conquistador	Let her do it. I used to make out with my pillow when I was 6 or 7 all the time. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ozark Butterfly	Honestly, there isn't much you can do about it but don't make a big deal out of it. This isn't sexual to her, all she knows is it feels good. Children start to explore themselves at a early age--if you remember to when she was a infant and changing her diaper--where did her little hands always go to?? I know she is only 5 but she has already discovered that this feels good to her, now all you can really do is to let her know that no one else should "tickle" her in that area and this is to be done in her bedroom and not out in the viewing of other people. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Fadzly	No need to stop her.. she doesn't know anything about sex. even in some baby, they even masturbate. it's normal. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lonelyinfontanam	She learned at a young age. This is normal. Everyone does it! Don't discourage her behavior. But let her know what shes doing. I dont believe in lying to children. They are gonna find out eventually. Why not tell her now? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jessica Marie	Um, usually children start to find themselves, and are curious to those feelings, and things down there. Usually it's natural. Also, television might have taught her this. My one friends child actually walked in on his parents and began humping people, and just random objects to get hard. It's more common then not. What to do? I'm not so sure.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lucioslady69	My grandmother says little boys play with themselves and little girls hump. Don't stress over it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

FranciscoinSanFrancisco	the sh....... is in your mind! Leave her have fun with the pillow, I don't see anything wrong with that. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Scott P	Kids just like to feel good. It has nothing to do with sex. You put that thought in, not her. She is just learning what her parts do. You just need to let her know that it is a private thing to do in her room or bathroom only. Don't make her feel bad for it. You probably did it too, you just don't remember it. I have a daughter as well. There is nothing wrong. Don't do anything. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

so	child masterbation is normal... to an extent. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ehhh.	Dude I did that when I was little too. Just relax, she doesn't understand what's going on. She just knows it feels good for her. Just sit her down the next time you catch her and talk to her about why you don't want her to do that. DONT punish her for it. She was just starting to learn about her own body, which is natural. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

caitlin; xxx	omg.. lol tell her Santa won't come if she humps her pillow; idk.. haha; it might work? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
