A member asked:
Is it worrying for a 3 year old girl to be obsessed with touching her privates?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necesarily: Although worrisome to the adult in us, this is usually a simple part of early childhood discovery, not a sign of deviant behavior or abuse.Sometimes this starts after having a minor irritation and they discover pleasure after rubbing the area. Avoid too much of your attention to the issue and request that this never be done unless in the bathroom or alone.It should fade over time.
