hello, i am concerned about my 7 and half yr old daughter who has started to experience feelings in her vagina (am assuming hormonal) whereby she feels she needs to rub herself on a pillow, is this to young to be experiencing these feelings of what I would have considered more towards teenage years. Any thoughts you could offer would be appreciated.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Yes. you got it right. According to Sigmund Freud, your child is going through phallic stage. In this stage, children attain pleasure by fondling their genital organ. This is applicable to boys also.

Looking at and fondling of the genitals is a normal part of growing up. Parents should treat such behavior as casually as the child does. Children who are reared by loving parents in a pleasant and stimulating environment rarely find it necessary to meet their needs from excessive handling of the genitals.

You should advise and punish, if required, your child for what she is doing. She should understand what she is supposed to do and what should not. You could take the help of a psychologist for behavioral therapy. Please do not worry.
