My 5 yr old daughter insists on showing her privates.?

Question

It is just me and her, so I KNOW she is not being abused, but she thinks it's funny to show her butt and b***s and sometimes even her front. I always tell her that they are private and NOT to do that ever again. I have even had the talks with her about what's wrong. Is this normal??

Answer 1

ahaha yeah it's completely normal.

She just had weird parts on her body she find intresting.

I think thats why alot of kids run around naked half

the time. You should try telling her to never let anyone

touch her in those places. Also tell her if someone ever tries to she should tell you right away.

Answer 2

Yea.deff

shes reaching purbitity.

just watch wheres she going and the background

talk to her about it if that doesnt work displicine her for it.

hope i helped =]

Answer 3

Yes. Very. Children generally don't develop a true sense of shame until a year or so from your daughters age. She is probably flaunting herself because she is amused by your outrage and cannot understand it.

Answer 4

Answer 10

Hi there. I've got a 5yr old son, and I swear I must tell him at least 20 times a week to put his 'pee pee' away while we're in public. I mentioned it to his dr and he actually started laughing, and said boys and girls are just like that sometimes when they are discovering their bodies. They don't know any better, and don't understand why they need to hide, so we end up with those odd situations. And, like you, I know it's not a sign of abuse.

In short, my dr told me not to worry, and just remove him if he does it in public, and keep telling him that's only a thing you do in private. and he'll catch on. Good luck!

Answer 11

yea shes little and as she gets older she will learn not to do that

Answer 12

It's normal for a kid. As she matures, she'll learn to be more concealed.

Answer 13

Kids can be very contrary and will do the opposite of what you tell them. Who does she show her privates to? I think if someone who she is afraid of tells her not to do it she may stop. Tell her Santa does not bring presents to girls who do that.

Answer 14

This is normal for children 3 to 5 years old. This explains Sigmund Freud's 3rd stage of his Psychosexual Theoryof Development. He named it phallic stage and the main function is the healthy development of sexual interest.Children of this stage do play with their s*x organs but they do it unconsciously. The conflict will be resolved when both parents give enough love and attention to the child.

Answer 15

Take her to a counselor to talk things over because if she does some STUPID things, the consequences can be high. And isn't that private to put on Yahoo Answers?!?

Answer 16

I think that your daughter's behavior is totally normal. I remember when I was in 1st grade, I showed kids my .... package to tons of kids on the bus. I know, it sounds very gross. I think that this behavior is her way to get to know her body. She is just curious. I wouldn't recommend scolding her for this behavior because she might get the wrong idea. I am sure you don't want your daughter to be ashamed of her body, especially at such a young age. Your best bet is to maybe let this phase come to an end. I would also suggest that you make sure she doesn't do it as much in public places, most guys want more ..... developed women. Hope this helps.

Answer 17

she just wants attention that's all. My little cousin does the same thing when her mom doesn't listen to her.

Answer 18

Don't make it into too big a deal.  Talk to her about personal safety and inappropriate touching by others.  Even though you think there is no possibility of abuse, have a healthy index of suspicion for this.  Nothing is impossible.

Answer 19

Yes this is kind of strange but also normal..You daughter might not realize that those are her " privates" and that people arent suppose to see them. Maybe have a talk with her like maybe go to a resturante and tell her that she needs to stop showing her privates and tell her they are only for her and no one else to see...

Hope this helps

Answer 20

Do you walk the talk? Children sometimes watch when you least expect it!

Answer 21

Wish it wasn't normal

Answer 22

Too Much T.V.

Answer 23

Children have a tendency to mimic what they see and over time it will pass, but tell her it is not appropriate do this in public and find the source of her knowing how to mimic this act and delete them from the picture.

Answer 24

Well tell her she better quit or your gonna whup her @ss.

That should make her not want to do it again.

Answer 25

She's just learning from her mommy.
