oh no! she's.... masturbating
i'm in the middle of combiling a [crappy] newsletter for my office (which is a nonprofit aimed towards school readiness of children aged 0-6)
and i'm just scanning the articles for something that i'd want to read (as i'm not the parent of any children, nor do i want to be the parent of any children any time soon). and i end up stumbling upon this
(for those of you who are lazy and don't want to follow the link.. or in case the link dies in the near future.. here's a snippet.)
I have a concern about our four-year-old daughter. She has recently started masturbating while at home. This is usually done while resting, while watching television or before falling asleep. It seems to have become more and more frequent. When we find her doing this we give her a warning to stop. If she does not we ask her to go to her room. If she still continues we physically take her there. We've explained that this is a personal thing, that others do not want to watch her do this, but we get no where. She continues on. We've discussed this with her pediatrician and his answer is to tell her to stop and put her in time out. Are we doing the right thing? Is this a phase?
i just want to roll my eyes at the woman, and tell her to stop hindering her daughter's sex exploration. to stop making sex seem like this horrible, horrible thing. or her mindset is prolly that, "oh no, my daughter is sinning..." and i wonder if this woman's husband ever grew out of the masturbation faze..
