Masturbation in children can occur at various age stages. During infancy, healthy and alert children always touch the reproductive organs with great curiosity, experiencing a natural pleasure through touch, but this is different from adult sexual behavior. Children aged 3-6 years old have a relatively high incidence of masturbation. During masturbation, they often have facial congestion, eyes wide open, cheeks flushed or sweating, and are often accompanied by soft hums and irregular breathing sounds, usually ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes each time. Parents may observe the child's vulva congestion and a significant increase in secretions afterwards.
When discovering the above behaviors in young children, there is no need to panic, but attention must be paid and timely correction must be given. Stopping children from masturbating, scolding or punishing them is not a good way. So what exactly should we do?
1. First, check whether the child is subject to local irritation, such as tight clothes or trousers, or vermicularis infestation, or wearing Open-crotch pants. If the child is itchy due to insect bites or bacterial infection, pay attention to keeping the genitals clean at ordinary times.
2. When sleeping, pay attention to whether the child's appearance is normal. When he wakes up, let the child get up immediately, and do not let him stay in bed. The cover should not be too thick when sleeping.
3. Parents and friends live in groups to avoid loneliness. Parents should closely cooperate with teachers, whether at home or kindergarten, to actively talk to their children, encourage them to speak more, participate in group activities, sing songs with children, recite nursery rhymes, play games, etc.
4. When a child is found to be playing with their genitals, they should shift their attention to other things to dilute their sense of mystery.
Why do children have itchy hands
People often believe that masturbation may only occur in young boys, girls, and adults after entering puberty. How can young children masturbate? In fact, this phenomenon has its own reasons for existence.
1. Parents often tease their children's sensitive parts.
Some children's masturbation habits are formed due to frequent stimulation of their genitals from a young age. Everyone has some special parts on their body that have a strong sense of stimulation. They are called "pleasure parts", such as the lips, cheeks, nipples, genitals, anus, and other parts, especially the genitals and nipples. If they are frequently stimulated by external factors, they can easily cause children to develop a subtle feeling, and even arouse strong curiosity and sexual desire towards the genitals.
