They may look at magazines, books, videos or images on the internet. They may peek when family members are in the bathroom or changing clothes or try to listen outside the bedroom. Children’s curiosity can lead to exploring their own and each other’s body parts by looking and touching. Sometimes underlying stress is the culprit.It can be hard to acknowledge that all of us, even children, are sexual beings, have sexual feelings and are curious about sex and sexuality. If your toddler seems to become obsessed with or consumed by her "touchy" habit, talk to your pediatrician. If you suspect yours is one of them, make a habit of asking. Some toddlers hold their genitals when they have to pee.
Ask if she needs to go to the bathroom. Don't forget to also praise her for being able to wait until she's home. Take her hand, give it a gentle squeeze and distract her. Begin teaching your child the difference between "public" and "private." If she starts touching herself while you're out in public, quietly tell her that some things are okay to do in private but not in public where there are people around. Other toddlers won't care and your friends and family will understand. If she can't be persuaded to change course, abandon ship and look away. In semi-public settings, such as playgroups or extended family gatherings, distract your child with another hands-on activity, such as drawing with crayons or building with blocks. In fact, if you're at home, ignore the behavior. Not only might your negative response make the behavior more tempting, it'll also send the message that she should be ashamed of her body and feelings associated with it. Don't forbid, shame, scold or rebuke your child. How you should react depends on where you are. Yes, it feels good, and even comforting, but there's nothing sexual about a young child's intent or emotions. Your toddler's touching of her genitals isn't masturbation (and that also goes for little boys who get erections while playing with their penises).
