she is already asking

Juliet - interesting topic.

I am busy doing a workshop at the moment,and one of the issues we discuss is how women view thier bodies, particularly thier vul.va.

And how - for most of us - we view it as something unhygienic, shameful, and pretty much stay as far away from it as possible.

Without getting into a very long story, the short of it is, that it made me realise that my "sexual script" and the way I view my body, is the one I will imprint on my two daughters, and I have realised that being "shamed" by the fact that we have vul.vas is probably not the best message I can give to my child.

I do not expect my child to wear a picture on her shirt with a vul.va, but I have realised that I need to teach my daughters that the vul.va, like other parts of thier body, is a part of who they are, and is not something that must have the word "sis" or "yuck" connected to it.

I am not sure how to change my "script" yet, but the realisation that it can be better for my daughters is huge for me.

Very normal according to what I have read.

Boys and girls start masturbating while still babies.
It is really important not to make her feel as if she is doing something wrong or naughty, but rather explain to her as she gets older that you know that it feels nice when she touches herself there, but remember it is a private thing she does and should only be done alone in her room.

hi

when actualy does a little gal start realising the vagina?
my 2yr old was asking me: what is this mama, what is inside?" n i was just puzzled cause she never asked that kind of a question about anyother parts of her body.
lately she would touch n bla bla
i am worried. is this normal for a 2yr old?
