Your 20-Month-Old This Week
Toddlers have a natural curiosity about everything, including their own bodies. Have you noticed your child playing with her genitals yet? If you have, you can rest easy. It's nothing to worry about — unless it's happening nonstop. To cut down on embarassing fact-finding missions in public, keep your cool and explain to your child that some things are done only at home in private. If that doesn't distract her from her explorations, offer her a toy or something else to keep her hands occupied.
