My 5 year old has been doing this for about a year now. It use to be only at home, but now it's at school. She is in kindergarten and I have been called in to talk about the situation and have had several other phone calls from school saying that now she will not do her class work because she wants to finish! I just don't know what to do??? I have tried explaining to her that this is a private thing and if she must do it she needs to do so when she is alone. She is very rebellious though and it seems the more her teachers and I ask her not to the more she does it anyway. Any suggestions
it was a spelling err! Thank you for pointing that out! A PRIVATE THING. Something that she can only do when she is alone! Not in front of others and certainly NOT in school. private!
What I want to know is how she knows how to do this? I have never heard of such a thing. If she is being so disobedient than you need to take action immediately and discipline her. Let her know that she is being punished if she continues to do this. You need to be firm! Take away her toys, put her in time out, don't let her have any fun! Starting something like this at such a young age is very alarming... you may have her see a councilor.

I just wanted to chime to say that all children can begin this between 2-3...it is self discovery not alarming. I would just ask her peditrician for advice as she needs to learn it is not appropriate in public.
Private thing? what about no you don't do that for a 5 year old. Please, I see the problem a parent who has been allowing it at home without telling them to stop it at this age.
Rowletta I have 3 children. None of my kids ever did this. If one of mine did then we would have been off to see a doctor. Something is going on with your daughter. She is acting out for some reason and you need to find out why.

I have no idea how she knows about this. I have ask her did someone teach you this, has someone touched you? Her school counselor has ask the same questions and she gives the same answer. She just figured it out on her own. It tickles her tummy and makes her feel good. I've been told NOT to tell her it's a bad thing! I've been told to ignore her, punish her, I have done all these things and nothing matters to her. She still continues to do it.

Tell her to stop, period, if she was opening the door and walking into the street you would stop her ??? It is effecting school and I am sure children and family services will not beleive someone is not touching her if they start getting invovled. No matter it is effecting her school and is not normal for her age ( alittle touching but not all the time) The issue at this point was it was allowed too long to start with, and will be harder to stop. but firm punishment telling her no, not just not in public, but just NO>
