Anyone experienced this?

My girl is 6 years old and of late, she has a habit of touching herself when she’s bored (privately). Googled and found out this means she’s masturbating though all the informations I read say it’s normal so long it is not causing her any pain and not doing it openly, this is merely their way of exploring herself and parents shouldn’t stop/ punish her for it. However, I still feel this is wrong and she shouldn’t continue with this. Anyone has the same experience with your girl?

I learned child psychology and this is normal. However, if you suspected your child has seen something sexual prior to this activity, you have to stop her. Otherwise, she is just exploring. Do talk to her about safe touch. Means, who can touch her private areas and who cannot. Do share with her that, private parts are not meant to be touched unnecessarily. Use the term vagina and penis in case you need to explain. Do not use flower or bees or other words to talk about her vagina. Good luck :)

Thanks!! Since young I have been educating her as per mentioned so that’s not an issue. It’s just the self exploration part that I’m unsure. I have been trying to keep her occupied so she won’t touch herself then I won’t have to decide if I should stop or let her continue.
