Hi, my little one is 3 years 5 months. About 4-5 months ago she started touching herself, when watching TV or in her buggy. Then her nursery mentioned she has been doing it there as well. We talked to her about it, said she can't do it when other people are around, only when on her own in her bedroom etc. Started to talk about why some body parts are private etc.
Anyway nursery hasn't mentioned it for a while, she has been doing it a little bit at home but not as much. This morning husband collected her and teacher asked "is everything alright at home" and said she had been doing it again.
Feeling upset and worried - will they think we are abusing her or something? I know people will say not to shame her for doing it etc but if the gentle approach isn't working and the nursery are bringing it up, what should we do?
Any advice? Thanks
