Question
Hi John,
Your work has been of immense value for our family!
We have two little girls (5 and 2). The 5 y/o has been touching her vagina quite frequently. It started to concern us a few months ago (after we arrived from our home country Brazil. We currently live abroad in The Bahamas) and it has been lasting for around 6 months now. frequency has increased and sometimes it seems that she doesn't even notice she's doing it. She knows she isn't supposed to do it and is a little embarrassed when she sees we saw her doing it. in the beginning she said it was scratching but and that was the reason she was touching it. but, recently she noticed it tickles and honestly we don't know what to do.
We tried different verbal/explanation approaches to deal with it. Even pretending we didn't see it. it's not working. What can we do?
Thank you for making this channel available for us!
