Toddler Keeps Humping The Floor

He does this off and on during the day and at bedtime.

Toddler keeps humping the floor.

I was shocked and could not sleep the rest of the night. The left side is the impulse control center. My daughter is 18 months old and has discovered clitoral stimulation. We sleep together when she visits.

Dear stop it now my 3 year old holds his favorite stuffed animal at his lower stomach area lies on his stomach with his arms under him and holds the stuffed animal in place while making copulating motions. She was laying on her tummy and humping like an old man. We try stop her from doing it by distracting her with books and conversation but give a second and she is right back. All of us shut off our left brain when.

Some toddlers will also shake their heads back and forth vigorously. It kind of freaked us out and we stopped being on the floor with her so much during that time. My two year old granddaughter woke me up the other night with strange noises. I don t have a problem with it because it is not sexual it s just for comfort the same as sucking a thumb.

How don t know how this started. The gp says it s just a phase and she ll grow out of it but also said she had never seen it in a child this young usually 2 3 year olds. Toddlers live in the right side of the brain karp says which is the impulsive emotional and nonverbal side. I am so glad you posted.

The gp said we should just ignore it and try to distract her. Children don t understand what sex is at that age if an adult is embarrassed by their child humping it s because they view it as a sexual act. She would hump against the carpet a toy or ball or her favorite against me or her dad if we were playing on the floor with her. Toddlers may stroke their bellies their ears their feet or other more private parts as they wind down before naptime or bedtime.

Some toddlers also become quite fixated on stroking their parents ears faces or hands. She is constantly grinding her self on the floor pillows my husband s or my legs. The action was aggressive and at times grinding into the mattress. It is too much and very uncomfortable for us.
