Patient's question:
My son is almost 6 years old. Sometimes he rides on his pillow and rubs his pants. I've noticed this many times, but I don't know what to do. I'd like to ask for some advice.Doctor's answer:
Parents should pay attention to cultivating their children's cheerful, generous, and sociable personality. Encourage them to interact with other children more often, develop diverse interests to enrich their lives and learning, which can effectively alleviate and distract their attention. When encountering such situations, it is important to divert their attention promptly. Afterwards, engage in casual conversations with the child, exchange feelings and perspectives, and teach simple and easy-to-understand necessary knowledge. Never scold or punish them harshly, as this will only trigger a strong rebellious reaction and leave them with indelible negative impressions and feelings of hatred. In adulthood, this can often lead to inhibition of sexual responses and sexual performance abilities.
