My 3 year old in OBSESSED with ears!

I have no clue. But it sounds harmless. I guess the problem comes in if she wants to touch a stranger's ears and can't? I think she will grow out of it..at least the crying when she can't touch them, part.

My 5yo loves ears, always has :) It bothered me for a little bit too just because I thought it was weird. Starting as a tiny baby she likes to hold and rub your ear...especially when she's tired or needs comfort. Even still if she is sitting on your lap she reaches up and grabs your ear. It was weird for a little bit but I like it, and its cute. I never could get her on her own ears though, sadly. When she rides on your shoulders she loves to hold your ears :) She used to cry and sob when people would say no too. When she got to be about 3 we explained that sometimes its not appropriate....and we sort of related it to hugs and kisses....we don't hold stranger's ears, and even though we hug our teachers we don't hold their ears....sort of a family-only thing. she understood that I think and caught on pretty quickly.

enjoy it...you'll miss it wen she stops!!!

I don't think there is anything wrong with her, but it is kind of funny, lol.

Kids sometimes just have weird quirks. I wouldn't think there is anything wrong.

My 22 month old loves ears too. He goes to sleep at night rubbing my ears. When he is really upset I rub his ears and it calms him down.

My dd is like this with hair. It's cute but we are teaching her about personal space. She is 2.5. I don't think there is anything wrong with your dd.

My 4 yr old is obsessed with butts, I am told right now its normal, but after around 5 or 6 it will not be.

 Oh thanks for all the replies!!  Very funny too!  yes she likes to ask to hold strangers ears if she likes them and we have to explain it is not appropriate, then she gets upset.  I am happy to know there are others who have the same little quirks :)
