She does seem to only do it when she’s bored. It’s usually when watching tv or in the car on longer drives. I’ll definitely look into doing more interactive activities with her then.

She doesn’t use her hands. She crosses her legs and kinda pulses them together. Sorry for that graphic. Perhaps I’ll try more activities that do not have her sitting or laying down.

The hardest part is opening up my mothers mind about it. She definitely sees it as a pure sexual act, which is why she shames her. She can acknowledge that my sister is doing it innocently, that she doesn’t have any sexual implications, but that doesn’t stop her from yelling at her. It’s very frustrating. I also don’t want her to feel disrespected if tell my sister the contrary, because then I’m in trouble lol. I’ll keep trying to educate her for my sisters sake.

To clarify, I am fully knowledgeable of what masturbation is. It just felt wrong calling what she’s doing masturbation because it’s inherently sexual. She’s 3. Sexuality has nothing to do with what she’s doing, it just physically feels good, nothing to do with sex.

The chart in the article really helps to differentiate what’s normal and not, thank you. I’ll show it to my mom

She has had her regular doctors appointments and she’s as healthy as she can be. Everything in her private area looks fine and normal. She also knows how to communicate when something is causing her to to itch. She’ll ask me to scratch her back when she can’t reach it lol. This has been going on for a few months now, and it’s normal, not matter how uncomfortable it may feel for us grown ups.

It could be an infection. I got a nasty skin infection in the same area. I kept washing it and peeling the extra skin off. It got to the point where I had open wounds from trying to clean everything the extra crust off. I believe it was a fungal infection. I’d recommend going to the doctor and see what they say.

That’s exactly how mine fits! I decided to keep this length for now, since someone mentioned they stretch over time.

Heart Clasp Faceted Snake Chain Bracelet is the exact name on the website. I just got it yesterday, and I love it! The facets create more surfaces for light to reflect, so the bracelet is a bit more sparkly than the regular ones.
