Question
Is there any negative effect if a child frequently touches their penis?
Answer
Masturbation is a common behavior among children, typically without any harm. It’s normal for children to be curious about their own bodies, including exploring their genitals. However, if a child becomes overly fixated on masturbation, it may affect their sleep, daily life, or become a source of anxiety. In such cases, parents should seek professional advice to understand how to handle this situation.
