4 yo rubbing crotch on things…

Our DD has a habit, especially when tired, of lying on top of a cuddly toy and rubbing her crotch on it. When she was smaller she did the same in her high chair.

Does anyone have any experience of this? Should we let it go or try and discourage her? No sure what is a reasonable response!

Its not frequent but it does look like she is humping Rose the Rabbit, so quite disturbing to watch!

Thanks for any help!

I would gently discourage in the same way I would any other ‘bad’ habit.

I think it's fairly normal, but you should gently discourage in the way you do for other behaviours that aren't appropriate in public. You don't want her doing it at school for example

DS2 does that when he’s tired. It’s pretty normal, just not something people will talk about/admit much…!
