This is my first post on MN because frankly I can't google the answer to this or really speak to anyone about it.
So, our daughter is 3 and is quite a chatty, headstrong and "lively" child. Lately she has been "messing" with her girl bits - fully clothed, all innocent. It started just messing when she was strapped in the buggy, and has now progressed to using dolls/water bottles/whatever.
I don't want to destroy her childhood by telling her it is naughty or dirty, so I just tell her to stop being silly but she just says "I'm going to do this every day because it's fun." She screams when we take the doll off her.
She starts pre-school next week.
What do I say to stop her? Do I need to stop her? How do I tell her it's inappropriate in public?
