Sexually odd behavior for my 3 year old

[Nurse2011]

First of all I have a concern for my 3 1/2 year old daughter...Recently I have caught her touching her private area with a viberating back massager...As far as I know, she is not aware that it can be used in a sexual manner...I am not sure if she just some how discoverd that it "felt good" there or what but it has been bothering me....I know children can be sexually curious but I am not sure about at 3 1/2 years of age....She has Never said anything or done anything sexually strange like this...I don't wanna jump to the conclution that something bad happend and think I am possibly over reacting considering sexual abuse is a GREAT fear of mine for my children and that I was sexually abused as a child. She has also been caught undoing my 1 1/2 year old sons diaper and looking at his penis....Is it sexual curiosity or could something have happend? I am botherd.

It is possible she has seen someone do that perhaps check who she is alone with, some behavior at a young age is normal but when something unusual happens it could be copied, could she have seen anyone who has access to your bathroom? check out avenues in case there is a problem.

My g.son is 3 and in my opinion is being molested by his 16 yr old sister. He wanted to insert his finger into his sister's vagina, to ride her as a horsey, is having problems sleeping, has no clothes on in the mornings when he awakens, and has continuous strep throats.

What can I do without alienating my daughter who seems oblivious to all this? What should I say and to whom?

I have been having simaler problems with my 3 1/2 year daughter and I am at the end of my rope.  I thought that it was just curiosity but l am really worried.  If you have learned any thing I would love to know.

I have the same concerns. My daughter has been humping since 14 months. We began to notice her "rubbing" herself after she became ill and was put on an Amoxicil. My husband and I immediately suspected some type of sexual abuse. We took her to the doctor, she was examined( for sexual abuse), and she had a yeast infection. The doctor told us that the yeast infection caused her discomfort, which caused her to "rub". After realizing that "rubbing" felt good she has continued to do so. She has just turned three and I will say that it is a very uncomfortable situation for a parent to be in. My husband and I DO NOT create the sexual "environment", she DOES NOT see her father's "business" ,and we continue to redirect, but again we will find her....any other suggestions?
