Why does my 5 year old daughter hump things?
My daughter has been doing this for 2 years. She really really gets into it. She gets a pillow, covers herself with a blanket and she'll lay on her stomach with the pillow between her legs and just moves her hips up and down gridnding into the pillow. She moans and gets red and sweats. I think she's having orgasms because she'll get louder and starts humping faster and shakes. Then she gets up and goes about her business. I've read to just let her do her thing, but it's awkward to be around and she does it 2 to 5 times a day. I'm sorry it's so descriptive, but I don't know if this is normal or not. Please help me!
Why does my 5 year old cry about everything?
Attention. Either your child is in chronic pain and needs medical attention, or (hopefully) you have been supplying the child with the wrong kind of attention. We all want what is best for our kids, but sometimes that means saying “no” or putting them through trials for their own good. I used to let my boy cry during ‘tummy-time’ in his infancy for brief periods. It made him stronger. I was right there and ready to pick him up when I felt like he got enough exercise, so the trust didn’t fade. By letting him cry for a bit, it did not enforce that I would immediately drop what I was doing for that cry. Now that he is older, I force him to communicate more as much as possible so that he can learn that he has the ability to solve his problems. Sometimes we give our kids too much attention, in that we bow to their cries immediately. But if you train your child in a constructive way, they should learn to cry less and do more for themselves. Another big point here might be that your child is just going through a phase and there isn’t much you can do about it other than continuing to learn with them and trying your best to do what is best for them. Kids go through some very rapid and wild changes, and this can be scary and uncomfortable for them. But, as we adults know, their problems aren’t too heavy for us to handle and they are safe. We just have to do our best to remind them that we are here and it’s gonna be AOK
Why can’t my 5-year-old daughter sit still for even a minute, and is so active?
It is typical behavior for a five year old to be very active.You can begin to teach her to focus on individual tasks. It will likely take a year or more so be ready to put in effort for the long haul.This is why so many teaching professionals dislike teaching kindergarten because the whole year is spent teaching them to sit still and follow directions. LOLI would start with A TON of moving. Exhaust her. Take her to the park and let her run and move. Then try games like a matching game. Teach her to sit for the duration of the entire game. Start with 8 sets of matches that she should sit still for, then gradually increase the number of matches.Also, encourage story time. Have her sit in your lap and read a book. OR encourage her to look at the pictures and tell a story that she imagines might be happening.First, observe how long she does sit without any coaxing. For this age, 3–5 minutes is normal.Find what she likes, if books and matching games aren’t fun for her try play dough, puzzles, a sand and water box on the table, coloring, etc. Any quiet table toys should be explored.If you want her to sit still then the activity must be engaging.I would caution you not to worrying about this too much. By the teen years we are wishing they would get out and move more.She will naturally begin to sit for longer periods of time as she grows, now is just a bit early but it can be cultivated.BALANCE aggressive movement with quiet play. So one activity should have her exerting herself, climbing, running, jumping, dancing, etc. then the next should have her sitting still and focusing on developing her fine motor skills.Gradually extend BOTH types of activities. by gradually I would suggest no more than 30 seconds a week. If she is sitting quietly for nearly 10 minutes then she is doing GREAT!DO NOT compare her to other children. Her norm is to be active. Look for improvement based on her prior behavior NOT based on what you may see other children do. We are all unique individuals and its unfair to compare an active child with a very still child. Chances are, the parents of the very still child wishes they would get up and move more.I hope this helps. Best of luck to you both!
My 5 year old daughter has a fever of 103.8?
For everyone freaking out I did give her some tylenol. Tylenol or the ER? Fever's aren't that dangerous. This is from wikipedia: According to one common rule of thumb, pyrexia (fever) is generally classified for convenience as: * low grade: 38–39°C (100.4–102.2°F) * moderate: 39–40°C (102.2–104.0°F) * high-grade: 40–42°C (104.0–107.6°F) * hyperpyrexia: over 42°C (107.6°F) So she has a moderate fever. Nothing worth going to the ER for.
Why is my 5 year old daughter always hot. She hates to wear colthes at home. Doesn't even use a cover at night
When it is a sunny day she wont play outside, she gets too hot. When she plays she gets red and hot so easy. When we are at home she will not wear clothes and at bedtime she doesnt even use a cover. Her skin is always warm. Are some people just that warm? Could there be something wrong?
What should I do if I catch my 5 year old daughter masturbating?
Its only a problem if she is doing it in places that are socially embarrasing or unacceptable. If this is ever the case, she should be spoken to and told that this kind of behavior is for private places only. Otherwise, its a completely normal thing for children that young to do, and I don't think any intervention is needed from parents. I can understand it may seem like you need to have a talk her with her, or perhaps she shouldn't be doing so at such a young age, or that it may lead to compulsive behavior. If this is how you are feeling internally, it may be of further value to discuss it with a health professional or your general doctor. They are very professional and there should be no need to feel embarassed. They can certainly address these concerns and assure you that everything is ok. Edit: to the comments saying that behavior like this at a young age is abnormal, I would very much think this is not true. Playing with genitals at very young ages is quite common, and not even seen by the child as something sexual, they are just playing with "what's down there" and it naturally has good feelings that comes from it, so this kind of activity will occasionally occur with young children.
How do I explain death and dying to my 5 year old daughter?
My husbands dad just died a few months ago and on my husbands side we have 4 nephews. I had looked all over the web for a book to explain death to children and found quit a few on amazon.com. But what I am getting at is there was a book that a preacher recommended about death and it explained it with animals and nature, I don't remember the name of it but it had Dragon Flies in the title. I did look on amazon.com and I found this book for you MY PET DIED (LET'S MAKE A BOOK ABOUT IT) BY: RACHEL BIALE....It has 2 reviews that all have 5 stars So you could try that rout. And she should be told about death I don't believe she is too young, she isn't too young because it is upsetting her. She knows something is wrong and it will only make it worse to try to ignore the question, that will only bring up more questions like... Why isn't mommy telling me what is wrong? ect... ~ Good Luck ~
How do I help my 5-year-old daughter overcome her jealousy toward my boyfriend?
Five year olds still need a lot of bonding time with mom; this will die down between 7 and 8 years of age; if she is expressing jealousy it could be coming from neediness. We all get pretty busy these days. Is she truly getting the close time she needs from you? This is what I would look at first. Related to this developmental issue is the need for her to still be given some pretty hands-on directions about how to do things. Your expectations may be too high; she still needs mom, and dad, and whatever adult is around, to show her how to do things. I suggest, if the visit during the week is at home, both of you help her with a hobby. Warmly direct her in it as the three of you watch TV after dinner, pay attention to her efforts with light hearted praise, giving her something to shoot for from time to time, and make sure she knows when her bedtime is. It may be just too complicated or demanding to have her "play" with the two of you in like board games - let that come a couple years from now. Take time to read to her even on this night (make sure she has no caffeine and help her avoid sugar that evening). Reading to her before bed is super important at this age. It will help her in school tremendously, and it will give you and her 20 minutes of nice relaxed bonding time before she drifts off into a nice sleep. Then keep your boundaries around the rest of the evening and let her know precisely what you want her to do if she has a need. It's great that you care to provide a safe structure for her and I hope something I have said here is helpful to you.

Would you correct your 5-year-old daughter’s unibrow if neither parents had one?
I do not, in fact, know that she’ll be made fun of and hate me for not letting her remove it. What I know is that my own mother’s criticisms of my appearance (“I’m going to schedule you an appointment with a dermatologist to get rid of your acne”, for instance), hurt me in a way that my peers’ criticisms never did, and my friends have sometimes mentioned things their parents criticized about their appearance when they were children—but don’t mention what their peers said. What you say will stick with your daughter for the rest of her life.If her peers do make fun of her, it’s not going to be the good kids doing it. Recognize that your job is not to make her cave in to bullying. Your job is to be on her side.Leave your daughter’s five-year-old body alone. And when she’s eleven, leave her hairy legs alone. You are going to instill a sense of shame in her for the hair that is naturally developing on her body. She should not be ashamed of something she didn’t choose. When she decides on her own, without pressure from you, let her deal with her body hair. Furthermore, trying to modify her body by waxing or tweezing her brow will leave her vulnerable to infection and scarring.Also, your expectation of well-defined brows and smooth legs is based on your expectation that your daughter is going to be sexually conforming. Smooth legs are a sexual feature in our culture: women shave their legs in order to be sexually appealing to men. Your concern with children’s hairiness may be out of a desire to protect them from social ostracization, because you think that other people will be grossed out. The problem lies with the fact that you are grossed out by the hair that naturally develops on children’s bodies. The hang up is with you; don’t pass it on to the next generation.
