5 yr. old girl is precosc

She makes statements a lot about her private area, with humor, but using nicknames for it and indicating it is cute,  she just loves it's smell.... I am smiling and pretty much ignoring it. But cautioning.
Her to be private about her feelings... That some people won't like it.  I am cautious to say more, but are other sweet young ladies enchanted there, and describing it?

Yes, I'd try to minimize reaction as well as giving her rules about it---  no surprised faces or snickers.  She may be seeking attention.  Just tell her plainly that we do not speak like that.  good luck!!

I agree it is odd.  I have spoken to her about noone touches her.  When I told her about that the smell is normal, but not something to comment on, she said , yea but I really do like it.
Ok, says I,  but still don't say it, to everybody,    You may express yourself to me, or ask question s, but let's just not keep on joking about it.  Thank you for your comment. Her parents are aware of it, too.  She is a very special child, but comes up with some very unusual comments

At 5, she can begin to have impulse control (as you stated in another post, that she does NOT have autism) and follow rules.  Tell her that we do not need to talk about it.  If she has a question------  she may ask you the question.  It would be odd that a child says she likes the smell of it in my opinion.  Did someone say that to her?  I'd be aware of who is in her life and make sure nothing is happening to her.  I think a talk about no one looks at or touches us is in order as well.  good luck and I hope it is nothing.
