Nasty habit (dd)

Dd has developed a habit of digging in her crotch and now she's sticking her fingers in her butt hole. It's disgusting! Initially I ignored it figuring she'd me on. She has t. Now I've told her to stop, that she goes potty there and we don't want those germs on our hands. I make her wash her hands, but she loves playing in the sink and it's practically a reward. Help!!
Hallelujah, it's a miracle, I have children AND a signature!

Re: Nasty habit (dd)

  • Ds did this for a few weeks, always while getting lotioned and dressed after baths. He does it much less now so it seems to be a phase.

    I would just tell him that while it's ok for him to touch his body, that part is not clean and it's where his poop comes out. "Not clean" just seemed less...shameful I guess?...than saying it's dirty. I didn't make a big deal of it and it's stopped already.
  • I have no experience with this but I've heard from someone else, maybe on this board?, that their daughter was doing something like this and ended up having a yeast infection. She was itching, scratching, poking around down there because it was bothering her. I don't know if that helps at all. Something to look into or tuck away in the back of your mind like I did for the future. Good luck.
    This.
