What to Do If You Catch Your Child in the Act of.....Masturbating
If you suspect that your child is masturbating, fight the urge to freak out. Remember how it made you feel when your parents caught you. They may have tried to scare you by telling you that if you kept doing it you would go blind or your hand would fall off. This may have left you feeling ashamed and feeling abnormal. Attempt to reassure them that it is normal and that they do not need to be ashamed. Masturbation only becomes a problem if it starts interfering with other aspects of your child’s life.
