Why The Child Is Humping Things?
I have a friend whose daughter has been humping things since she was 9 months old. She is now almost four and is still doing this. I am very close to this family so I know for sure the child has not been molested in any way whatsoever. I need to know why they do it and is it normal or do they need to take her to see someone. She has been to a regular doctor and checked out and the advice they gave is that she would eventually out grow it. I am beginning to wonder. Any advice would be welcome.

Brief answer :
Seems to be normal.
Detailed answer :
Hi, welcome to HCM.
Child age is only 4 years, a 4 year child doesn't have that much mind to understand whether humping has bad impression. I think she is just playing and it's a habitual thing.
This will improve as child grows. In my opinion, you need not worry about this.
I hope this has helped you. Take care.
