Well my daughter (shes 11) went to her room to play...Well I walked into her room to ask her something and what do I find but her having her pants down and was masterbating, This is the first that I know of of her doing it.  I have NO clue on how to go about talking to her about this, I know this is natural but still I am embarresed....HELP...please no bashing, i know I should of knocked...

That's what I'd do as well.

Quoting AlwaysKISA:

I would just casually tell her later on "sorry about earlier, I will knock from now on". And leave it at that.

My mom caught me at 10. I was humiliated lol She didn't mention it though, I was very grateful that she didn't.

Knock next time. That is all you need to do, and you already know that.

This is a good time to have the sex talk, though.

I'm sure she's just as embarrassed that you saw that. Good for you for not freaking out on her though. As previous posters said, I wouldn't even bring it up again.

It's natural, just don't address it or speak or it.  You don't want her think it's bad.  Unless you are against masturbating.

I think I was too. Once I looked at porn just because i was curious and my mom walked in... She made me feel so ashamed and I wasnt even touching myself

What everyone else is saying, LOL.

No big deal.  Just act like you never saw a thing.

Like you say, its natural. Just make sure you make yourself available to her should she have any questions. Maybe its time for the talk? You don't have to bring up that you saw her, just maybe think of a way to get a gauge of what is going on inside, to get an idea of what she is thinking about sex so you can give her the necessary parental input.

Go back and and sit and talk to her. tell her from now on you will knock before entering her room.  Tell her you are proud of her for doing it in the privacy of her room.

Whatever you do, do NOT do this. Don't say you're proud of your child in an instance like this. That'll freak her out even more. Don't even mention it. She went to the privacy of her room to do a completly normal, private thing. Something that doesn't need to be brought up ever.
