Masturbation in pool
-
My daughter is always finding the jets in the pool and pleasuring herself. She also does this in our jetted tub, which I don’t mind as much because it’s in private. She’ll do it in the pool even when we have guests over at times. She’s 8. I haven’t said anything yet in hopes she’ll get over it, but unsure if that’s the right approach. A friend with son told me he did the same in the pool until his early teens. I don’t want to shame these natural sexual feelings or shut something down for her that’s okay for boys. Should I comment? If so, how?

I have no formal training in this but I feel like 8yrs old is old enough to say "this is something to do in private and not in the pool with other people". Just my two cents, definitely don't shame her but we have this same conversation with our kids about burping etc "this is something you do in your room or bathroom and not around other people". Also should it be okay for boys? Idk, seems like the same conversation should be happening regardless of gender of keeping that in private.
