Are you sure she's not just curious? Maybe she saw a penis somewhere and was wondering what the hell it was that she had.

There are various opinions about this. Freud was famous for explaining that pscychosexual development begins in infancy, and that it was not unusual for pre-adolescents to be at all curious about their bodies. "Touching herself" really does not describe exactly what the child is doing. There is certainly pleasure derived from stimulating various anatomical parts, but is that a sexually related pleasure? It is doubtful that a child has adult-like thoughts when it comes to stimulating a body part.
Unfortunately the intrusion of religion creates problems, especially in telling individuals to deny truths about their own desires, feelings, and anatomy. If I were the parent, I would only worry if such behavior is done in public, and not in private.

My friend has a 5 yr old who was grabbing herself and showing it to her mom and says it tickles it tickles, she took her to the doctor and they found she had a urinary track infection(the tickle she was describing was a itch). Maybe it is irritating her and she doesn't know what to do but touch it to make the irritation go away.
Its a idea.. 6 is way to young to be enjoying this.
Hope this helps

It depends on the child. I think I was around that age when I started to touch myself. I don't remember why I started though.

I think it is normal to explore your body when you are a child, but chances are you have no idea what you are doing and why it may feel good. However, if a 6 year old knows sexually forward things, then there is a good chance they have been exposed to adult information or maybe molested.

she could just be curious, and doesnt know its bad or weird to this. Her mom should sit with her sometime and explain to her that what shes doing isnt good. she proably found out that what she does feels good on accident. i hope i helped

As long as she is touching herself, she's just exploring. I really don't think there is an age limit on that, it's just when a child becomes more aware.
Now..........if it becomes habitual for some reason, then that may be cause for concern.

well right now she may jsut be exploring her body.
Nothing wrong with that.
I am sure it is not in a sexual way.
However it may be a sign of a problem in the family.
No need to make accusations, but it may be worth looking into.
Usually Puberty is when you start to become Sexually active, the surge of hormones is intense so your desire are amplified as a result.
However all the working are there from birth, just not activated yet.
Perhaps having soemone talk to the family or a counselor, tyo make sure there is nothing being taught at this age that shouldnt .
GOOD LUCK

She was 6, so she probable doesn't know exactly what she is doing. I heard little kids do touch themselves...b/c its like they are exploring themselves..but IDK.
All I can say it's best to wait until you get married. It's better for you emotionally, physically, and mentally.

that's human nature but mainly is seen with boys. My son (5yrs old) touches himself not for pleasure but out of curiosity. It's all a little weird of course if the parent is immature to this situation. Your cousin is not being "sexually active" in her own mind.
I grew up in a very religious house and it seemed to me that everything I did whether innocently or intentionally was leading me straight to the opposite of heaven so there may be some over dramatization going on here. Let her be a little girl and keep perverted thoughts away from her.
Hope this helps

Some little girls do figure it out that young. However, most who are doing it that young have been touched by someone else first. If the family is very religious, there is better than average likelihood that someone is molesting her.

It's normal for kids to experiment with their bodies at a young age. It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with them.
And that's not considered being sexually active. You're not sexually active until you start having sexual intercourse.

That's normal. Kids explore and handle things. It just so happens that the easiest things to explore are themselves, since all parts can be reached.

Pretty normal I mean you want to know what the heck these things on your body are lol.
My sister did the same thing...and I'm pretty sure I did too when I was little.
As long as she's not overdoing it, it should be fine!

You'd be surprised where kids learn these things from. The best thing you can do is to have an honest and open relationship with the kid (or the parent should) so that the child may have someone they can go to when they need advice and love.

"touching herself" is self exploration. Thats normal, its not masturbation. Theres a massive difference between touching yourself sexually, and touching yourself out of curiosity, its wrong to jump to conclusions saying she wants sex, shes a little girl for goodness sake, she probably doesn't even know where a baby comes from or how they are made! At 6 i highly doubt she's having sexual thoughts while doing that, so there's nothing weird about it at all.

kids explore their own bodies even before age 6
it's completely NORMAL!
Half of all adults report having participated in sex play as children.
Children express interest in feelings aroused by touching their genitalia in the same way they express interest in the light of the moon, or a flower blooming. Children express general interest in others' bodies and may touch. Adult reactions teach shame or that privacy is important for certain behaviors.
Masturbation occurs naturally in boys and girls, and begins in infancy. By the age of two or three years, most children have learned that masturbation in front of others is likely to get them in trouble.

It is very normal and even expected for children to start exploring their bodies at a young age. It is not shameful or wrong. It is actually quite healthy. And there is no right age...it is just an instinct that humans gradually develop. Completely normal. My son is one, and occasionally touches his "pee-pee" during diaper changes and laughs. Its just a part of life.
