I am an extremely concerned parent of a beautiful 12 year old daughter. My daughter is very open with me and shares everything, even things that I shouldn't know. I have told her that masturbating alone, is normal...but she insists in telling me when she has. She says she feels she has to tell me, then feels better after telling me. I tell her, that it isn't necessary to tell me and that it is private with her only...but she still does tell me (told me about 4 times).
The bigger problem is, she is exploring with other children sexually, all girls of the same sex and about a few years younger than her. She had done things with someone her age and it got around the school. My daughter is too trusting and confided in a so called friend. Now they call her lezzi. I have up until now, told her that she is not a bad person, but that all children do this and it is called exploring. But she has explored with these girls too much in my opinion and I have now punished her to her room to think about this. I am not her favourite person right now, but I am the parent in hopes of finding the answer to this. Should I be concerned? Should I seek professional help for her? I am not a stupid woman and I know that sexual exploring of young children is normal and we all went through it, me included. My concern is that this has been going on for a few years now. Will she grow out of this....or is it time to get help before she does this with a few five year olds that she plays with.
Waiting for your response!
