My dd has recently begun dressing herself.
During the time of warmer weather she has worn plenty of skirts, dresses and nighties.
Her interest in her bits has coincided very much with that.
She has recently gone from doing a quick study to see what is down there and explore mainly visually to using her clothing to stroke herself on the vagina
I had noticed her doing it but wanted to ignore it as I believe it to be normal and healthy (in a why not it's her body kind of way)
My question is this.... is it o.k for me to address her curiosity as a positive without seeming to be ..........god this is difficult because I was sexually abused at home and I want her to feel she can touch her own body (even in the context of it feeling pleasurable) but that other people cannot!!!
This is a shit post ,I might do it again later when I work out what I am trying to ask
Just incase some one can interpret what I mean I will post this.
