Masturbation is very common among children. While masturbation is widely considered a natural and harmless way for children to explore their latent sexuality, excessive and/or inappropriate masturbation may cause significant problems, especially if it is in public. Children of all ages masturbate, and if they are under age 5, they likely don’t understand the need for privacy. Stay calm, and avoid jumping to conclusions about your child's mental health. Rather than using punishment or clinical treatment, when you see your children in the act, work to gently set limits with them, have open conversations, and encourage appropriate behavior. | Masturbation is very common among children.
