My 9-year-old daughter likes to masturbate, she also uses unopened tampons, a pencil, etc. all red.
From the information sent, it is not known under what circumstances the daughter has been performing these activities, for how long she has been doing it and what problems she has to face in family and school life, as well as in relations with peers.
At this age, this behavior is not consistent with developmental norms, it may indicate, for example, excessive mental tension that a child is struggling with and it is a way of discharging it. At the moment, please contact a psychologist, psychologist and sexologist. At such meetings, you should hear tips for work and discuss the possible need for a meeting with your child. The child should not be mocked, embarrassed, or scared by the gynecologist, but it is important to safely inform about the danger of he alth hazards, damage to the body caused by objects, be close to the child - its problems and concerns, educate, and look for other ways of coping with excessive mental tension, e.g. conversation, creative activities, relaxation exercises, developing interests. Once again, I am asking you to urgently report to a specialist for indications.
Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
