For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I think children are curious and all sorts of things can set them off. I was divorced last year and after a few months, my younger daughter (5 at the time) began 'examining' some of her little male friends. When confronted she said,
'But Mummy, I see your tuppence and mine and Mariette's(her sister), but I never see willies, now that Daddy's gone.'
The phase didn't last long fortunately, but maybe your daughter has seen a picture/advertising poster or something that made an impression on her.
I doubt there is anything sinister going on, but would nevertheless keep a discreet eye on matters without making it obvious you have concerns.
I've just re-read this and hope it doesn't give the impression my ex-husband was always naked.
Children at this age have massive curiosity about the world around them, coupled with a tendency to verbalise what they see and think about. It's easy to see, from an adult perspective, that this behaviour is unusual, but for a child, it is perfectly normal, so don;t attatch too much importance to it.
As adults, we internalise our thoughts and opinions - which makes for a civilised society - but that is learned behaviour, and your little one will assimilate it when she is ready. meanwhile, try not to draw attention to these epidodes - any sort of reaction will stimulate her to do more of the same, to see what mummy says.
