Hi my six year playes with herself a lot i notice sometimes she using her stuffed animal and i wanted to know if this is normal, or if it's not normal?

Normal development: It feels good. This is normal. Your job as a parent is to gently teach her that this is private behavior without punishing her for doing something so natural. These are tricky waters and you will do just fine! I am very happy that you asked this question.
