Is A Child S Tendency To Want To Touch Their Mother Normal?

Hi, My 6 year old used to be fascinated with my breasts, although we have explained to him not to do so, he sometimes asks if he can touch it and who has permission to touch it. Also, can get inside your clothes. Is this normal?? I am explaining to him but still worried

Hello,

The very first thing is to control what your 6-year-old is watching on tv, or while using smartphones. Plus, try to talk to his teacher about his status and how he acts during the school.

To me, there is someone else teaching such things and making him curious perhaps at school (older children). Or even at your own home, for example for some other relatives or older siblings.

So, be attentive to see who is next to your child apart from you in order to understand his actions. You can get helped from the psychologist at his school.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
