I saw my 6 year old touching her private. Is this normal?

I wouldn't make a big issue out of it, unless you notice she is doing it constantly.

yes it's normal. It generally happens by accident but they realize if they touch there it feels good so they do it. Just teacher her when is and when is not an okay time to touch herself there.

It's normal. Every kid at some point realizes that it feels pretty nice to touch down there. Talk to her about doing it in private nd ont freak out and make her feel shame over it

As long as she isn't doing it in public areas of your house (or general public, for that matter!), I wouldn't make a big deal of it. She found it.

My daughter has been playing with herself since she was 3 in the bathtub. I explained to her that it is ok but she can only do it in private in her room or bathroom and not in public. The bathtub is usually where they start. It is very normal and they realize real fast that it feels good. You are not going to get her to stop, but you have to teach her appropriate times and places.

First of all, your daughter was playing with her vulva (the outside part), or her vagina (the inside part). There is no reason to make up names for body parts.

It is normal to touch all parts of our bodies.

Self-discovery is a normal part of development in children.

Children need to be comfortable with their body and not be ashamed of it. If they are ashamed and uncomfortable with their bodies, then it only leads to problems later on in life with low self-esteem, self-hate, and even sexual problems.

I do agree that she needs to be taught when and where it is appropriate to do this, or it will make for very awkward moments. :)

Its normal. Or she may have an itch be sensitive to her needs.
