My Daughter Masturbating... at 9 years old!
My daughter has been showing frequent signs of masturbating. I don't encourage it, but I don't say its bad. Whenever she would have a full blatter she would go to her room and squeeze her legs together. She says it tickles and feels good. Im trying to tell her it may feel good, but that it could hurt her and give her blatter problems. She doesn't seem to care though. She was caught before bedtime last night where I was checking up on her a hour after I said goodnight and saw her masturbating! I threw open the door and startled her but she just hid under the covers. I decided to leave her alone after that, to let my anger wash out. My daughter has been ignoring me and wakes up by herself now for school so she doesn't have to face me. Of emberasment or punishment, I would say. I want to talk to her and say that masturbating is normal and happened to me, but then I discovered that a few people from school saw her doing it in the girls bathroom with the stall door open (I guess she thought everyone was in class) and now she is getting "Ew's!" From other kids when they see her. The next day I saw her masturbating again and decided to actually talk. It didn't work out so well. Since I didn't know much about masturbating I only talked to her about emberassment and why she does it. The first thing she said was, "Its because theres so much stress in school that I want to relieve it by squeezing my legs. It feels good." Well, now Im seeing that a few other boys in her classroom are winking at her when she comes out of school for me to pick her up. Is her masturbation HOT to boys? Obviously, the kids in her classroom act like 17 year olds! I even heard a story or rumour of a boy kissing a girl (one of my daughters friends) And I need help for the next talk! How should I do it this time?
