My 3.5 year old's "humping"

[canadiangirl423]

I am now at the end of my rope. I know that humping is normal in children. I have told my daughter that it's a private thing and just to do it in her room. I guess you can say since I've gave her "permission" to do the act in her room I catch her doing it more and more. Sometimes up to 3 times a day. The other night my fiance heard her humping and walked in on her with her pants off humping her barbie after we already thought she was sleeping. I dont know what to do...any ideas? Greatly appreciated. Thanks!?!

Encourage her to use something softer like a stuffed animal or character. Then explain how too much simular activity is not good. Don't know if the latter suggestion will do any good as she is only 3.5.
