DD7 'exploring' in front of DS2

[MrsWhirling]

I've posted before about my DD7 and the difficulty we have explaining to her certain things can only be done in the privacy of her own room. Yet every Saturday without fail I return from the kitchen to find her doing it whilst her brother is in the room, playing or watching tv. Or even if he isn't there she will be later out on the sofa with the blades up/lights on. I got rather angry with her& sent her to her room. I don't want to make an issue of it but I am tearing my hair out as to why she will not listen to me that it is unacceptable to do this in front of anyone, especially her brother. Any advice on how to help her understand is greatfully appreciated.

Sorry, not really clear about what she is doing?

Exploring her genital area? Hands down knickers? Only every Saturday?

• Just tell her to stop, it's rude in front of other ppl. Punish her as you would for any other misdemeanour.

I think you are trying to say your daughter is masturbating at inappropriate times and in the wrong places.

I think you have to explain that playing with your genitals isn't something that you do in 'public'. If she is capable of understanding but still does it in the living room etc then yes you are going to have to correct her behaviour.

So guessing she is masturbating but it is not very clear in your op. Agree you have to make it clear it is not something to do around with people and explain why. Perhaps a library book on explaining our private parts and why they are private.

If she is not listening then I think you need to approach it how you would when she does naughty things, time out etc

Hi, yes that is what I am saying. Thanks for your replies. She was sent to her room just before I posted as punishment but I am doubtful she won't do it again.
