I hate to scare you but your child sounds as though she has to have seen it or else been abused somewhere. Most children do not act that way at five years old unless they have learned it somewhere. Mabye it is time to monitor her relations with others more closely and protect her. You need to do more then tell her no..you need to explore why this is happening and stop it.

Well... I don't know that it is what many would call "normal" behavior... But, I did the same thing as a child. It felt good so I liked it and did it often. I did however have a neighbor boy teach me how to do it. I have a niece that did the same thing and we found out that she was being molested at her day care. I pray nothing like that has happened! Anyway, it is normal for children to explore their bodies and do things (humping... exam.) but generally at 5 years old a child who has not had any type of sexual behavior shown to them would not express the sexual behavior you've described. I'm sure she'll be fine and I'm certain that she has enough sense to not do it around anyone other than you. My mom would get VERY angry with me and embarrass me in front of others. Please don't do that to her or let anyone else do that to her. Good luck!

Shes most likely not doing it as you think of it unless you keep the tv on movies with sences like that or she has seen you and daddy or maybe somone else. In her case shes just doing it its nothing sexual like you think. If you are concerned ask your pediatircian you are NOT THE FIRST with this problem. I PROMISE YOU THAT! What you need to do it explain to her why we dont do that and if she wants to she needs to do it in her room when no one is visiting or in there with her. She is old enough to understand privacy let her know some people have diffrent feelings and this is a thing you do in private if you are going to do it.

Like all of us else says neutering received't restore the priority. this is all psychological. women and male canines hump issues. strong education is the perfect component. this is going to take time yet discipline is what the canines in all likelihood in no way considered. strong success

Well apparently she has seen something she shouldn't have seen and talk to her about it but don't yell, that way she doesn't think she is bad. If she has a babysitter I would ask them what's going on why she's there ect, ect....

Just tell her that if she wants to play with herself, it's something done in private...like going to the bathroom.
don't make her feel bad..but let her know that it's something that requires privacy.

NAH I WOULD KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON HER IF SHE WAS MY DAUGHTER BECAUSE THERE MAYBE MORE GOING ON THAN YOU ARE AWARE OF. KIDS AT THAT AGE DONT START ACTING STRANGE FOR NOTHING. GOOD LUCK!
