Okay...im embarrassed about this topic, but I kinda need advice outside of my family
My DD will be 3 years old in January and for almost a year now she has this need to hump things. I heard it was normal behavior, but now its getting worse. It seemed as though it got better for a bit but it starting to get crazy again. She has been humping A LOT and (sorry for the TMI) kinda making some noises. Her private area is also getting red from doing it so much.
What should I do? I plan on talking to the doctor on Friday because I have my DS' well visit that day, but I am getting really concerned about it.

I once read that you should tell them that's a private activity and they can excuse themselves to go to their room to do it. It seemed like good advice to me, this way they know it's a private thing and that they CAN do it, just not outside their bedroom.

Thats also what I've heard! And the noises are prob from her either reaching or coming close to climaxing, which I also heard is common.

I have no experience with this but this sounds like what I would do

Calmly explain that that is private behavior, and needs to be done somewhere private. Then calmly bring her to her room, close the door and tell her when she is all done, she can come out.
Chances are - she may be doing it for a reaction on top of it feeling good. If she wants your attention, then she will limit the activity if she wants to be with you.
When you are spending time with her, catch her being "good" and explain to her fun things you get to do together. Good luck - let me know if need any more strategies and pointers. I have to address these issues a lot during parent training, but it applies to any child

I agree with this. While I've never come across the situation to the level that you are doing, 3 years old should be old enough to be able to understand it's something that is private.

I have no experience with this but I have 'heard" this before that this is the way to handle it. I would talk to your ped. Im sure he/she will have good advice and will probably reassure you that this is common.

No experience, but sounds like rational advise.
Thank you for posting - hopefully it will also help others.

If it's any consolation, my 10 month old lightly humps things or "rocks" in bed. She doesn't make noises though.
I think that you can definitely distract her if she is doing it in public. I wouldn't make it seem as if she is doing something "bad."
I discovered my "abilities" very early on in life and my Mom made me feel sinful. Now I promised myself not to do that to my DD. when she gets older, i will use the distraction method. I think guiding her to her room where she can do it in private is not really my style.
