Curiousity

My granddaughter is 6 and has been caught humping furniture on several occassions. She was caught with her 5 yr old uncle with his pants down and it is believed he was touching her. It is unsure how many times they have played around like this. She used to spend a lot of time at his house.
We are unsure how to approach this with her and make her stop.

It is normal curiousity.Don't make them feel ashamed or embarrased. Just keep an eye on them both or separated. It is normal for kids to touch and feel and compare. Adults just have to control it.

Who was supervising them at the 5yr old Uncles house? Some curiousity is normal for Children of this age however make sure it is not being copied from an older child,, ask her why she does it and get some answers, play it down but me more observant.
