another thing you can do is go to the library. i was looking up some books for me to read and i found one called teaching your toddler about sex. and it was a good book. i have a 4yr old who has older uncles that like to say things that arent right for him to hear. and that is why i read it and when the time comes up it will help me explain.
ALSO TRY TO REALLY AVOID HER HAVING ANY VIEW OF THESE THINGS. U MIGHT HAVE BEEN WATCHING SOMETHING ON TV AND SHE MIGHT HAVE WALKED BY FOR A SEC AND SAW SOMETHING,,, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN, SOMETHING AS LITTLE AS THAT CAN GET A CHILD VEEERRRY CURIOUS..
AGAIN IM SURE EVERYTHING WILL TURN OUT FINE,, GOD BLESS!!
HI I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I FEEL IT IS NORMAL FOR A CHILD TO EXPLORE THEMSELVES.... AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DID THE SAME THING BUT I WAS ABOUT 7 AND I KNOW IT WAS BECAUSE OF SOMETHING I SAW. I DONT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT I SAW BUT REGARDLES CHILDREN AT ALL AGES ARE CURIOUS.. MY PARENT DIDNT TELL ME THAT IT WAS WRONG BUT THEY DIDNT CONDONE ME DOING IT EITHER... SO ITS A HARD CALL.. I MEAN I TURNED OUT FINE , I WASNT RUBBING ANYTHING ON MYSELF AND WASNT SEXUALLY ACTIVE TILL I MET MY HUSBAND AT THE AGE OF 19.. IT IS A SENSITIVE ISSUE AND MUST BE TREATED AS THAT... IM SORRY IM NOT MUCH HELP. IM SURE ALL WILL TURN OUT OUT FINE. JUST BE GENTLE WHEN TALKING TO HER ABOUT IT SO SHE KNOWS SHE CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH TALKING TO YOU ABOUT EVERYTHING AND KNOWS YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR HER. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!
Tough call on what is normal and what is learned behavior. We've been told by ped it is normal for them to explore, this does including rubbing on stuffed dolls. The kissing while doing this is learned. Has she seen anything on tv or even walked in on you and your spouse. Natural curiosity is not something to get upset over. Be sure you speak to her about it being a private thing. Ask where she's seen this? Reinforce there is nothing wrong with this, but, she has to know it is private and not to be shared or shown to others. You might start knocking on her door...
Also, taking away the doll probably didn't do anything, there's other things I'm sure she could find.
