Hi there
Just looking for resources because my 5 yr dd has quite an interest in touching herself - the problem is trying to explain to her that this should be a private thing while also natural etc. Somehow my words are not working and she does it around us all the time despite constant discouragement.
Any recommendations for approaches / books?
Thanks
