Hi. I know there have been a few similar threads on this subject, but I was wondering if anyone can help me?
My daughter is almost 3 and is masturbating all the time. Now, I know this is normal behaviour and she'll eventually grow of out it (or at least start doing it in private) and I'm not particularly bothered that she's doing it, but it's at the expense of everything else. She doesn't play with her toys or read books. I try to distract her but she either ignores me or goes straight back to doing it within a minute. She lies on the floor or chair and rubs herself against it. She has even done it to the point of making herself sore down there, but it doesn't seem to stop her. It has even got to the point where she's waking up in the middle of the night and doing it.
Is it normal for her to be doing it so much or do you think I should have a word with the doctor about it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
