Im trying to get advice for a matter within my family! my other siblings have discussed this bizarre behavior

Question

for anyone that teaches preschool or is a parent to a young child. what would you do if you saw a young child put a pacifier up their v****a and like it? i saw my neice do this and it really bothered me! if she did this at school how would you react and what would be going through her head? thank you for serious answers!

Answer 1

I taught preschool and am a parent.  It is NOT UNUSUAL for a child to discover themselves in this way.  The best thing to do is to let them know that is something that they don't do in public.  You cannot tell a child, especially a small one, not to do something that feels good.  But you can tell them it is something private.  Telling them that it is wrong could lead them to think that their bodies or sexuality is bad, and in their adult lives, this could be a problem.

Answer 2

I have never known a child that age to m********e. If this child is doing this frequently you need to have her checked with a pediatrician. There are usually one of two reasons a child does this and it's usually female children-1 she has a yeast infection-usually from bubble baths- and 2 she's been either abused or seen something she shouldn't have.

Get that kid to a doctor and if no one listens to you- report it to CPS!

Answer 3

I would look into this a little deeper, like you may need to find out if anybody has been doing this to her, or could she have come up with this on her own. if this was to happen at school, hopefully the teacher would not make a great big deal with it, as long as she is not teaching this to the other kids.

It's time to take away the paci...

No, seriously, it's normal for preschool children to m********e.  I know our kindergarten teachers have to have a talk with a couple of parents every year about little girls who like to rub up against the corner of desks or the bars on the playground.  The parents are always horrified that it's happening at school.  Your brother/sister just need to have a conversation with their child about private parts and how we don't touch them in public.  My rule for my two year old is "we only touch our p***s in the bathroom" (besides going potty, if he plays with himself in the bath, it doesn't bother me) that way he has a clear rule for where those behaviors are acceptable.

Answer 5

children are curious about their bodies.  give the kid some privacy and stop sexualizing the children in your family.

Answer 6

I think you just posted this question but somehow i wouldn't let me answer. I was saying in my other answer the things that have were saying was going on was absolutly not normal behavior. It actually shocked me when i read the other one. you defiantly need to talk  your "sibling" about this matter, tell  them that this is not only making you uncomfortable but also has you very concerned. If the behavior does not stop or they do not seem to care i would advise that you talk to someone about it before it is actually too late. Good Luck.

Answer 7

I didn't know I had a v****a until I was 14. My best friend had to show me. I knew I had a "pee pee hole" and a "butt hole," that's it. I would get some professional help. That is not normal. Hand stimulation is, but sticking a pacifier up her v****a is not. I can't believe she knows she has one....
