My daughter is three and has this habit that she has done since I can remember where she will tense her legs and bum, release then tense again, over and over. I think it started with her car seat when she would push against the straps and make herself go red in the face. Now she seems to do it when lying on the sofa or will go off and hide to do it. She seemed to have stopped doing it with me because it upset me and she didn’t want it upsetting me but with my partner she is still doing it. Some days worse than normal. I’ve been trying to say it’s a phase but I’m actually starting to be concerned myself now. Today while I was at work, my partner said she was doing it on the corner of a chair which has left her private parts sore (the first time she has actively tensed on an object that I’m aware of). But it unsettled both me and my partner. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I be going to the doctors or health visitor with this odd behavior?
Thanks.
